House of Gundelfingen

First recorded in the 11th century, branches of the family held the lordships of Gundelfingen, Steusslingen and Justingen.

Hohengundelfingen castle was sold to the Habsburgs in 1293, with whom the Gundelfinger were in a feudal relationship until 1377.

The Gundelfingen family rose to prominence in Swabia and Württemberg in the 15th century.

The last representative of the family was Schweikhart von Gundelfingen (d. 1546).

After his death, the Gundelfingen possessions passed to the Counts of Helfenstein.
