House of Leonrod

Burial places, along with epitaphs and coat of arms engravings of many Leonrod family members can still be found in the Dietenhofen church and Maria Kappel church in Schmiechen.

Many generations of the Leonrod family served the Teutonic Order.

Several family members became high spiritual dignitaries in the diocese of Eichstätt.

The noble line were later elevated to imperial Franconian knights.

On the helmet with red and silver covers, there are two horns marked in the same way as the shield.
