Lord Bernard von Bernhardshausen family founder (M)
(circa 1060 - )

     Lord Bernard von Bernhardshausen, family founder, was vassal of the Abbot of Hersfeld Monastery, Duchy of Hessen and lord of the Bernhardshausen estates. He Served as Lord (free nobleman). He was born circa 1060. The main source for the existence of Bernhard is in the analysis of the family name von Bennhausen. The original name had to be Bernhardshusen, which later evolved into such forms as Bennenhus, Bennenhausen, Beinhausen, Benhausen, etc. "Benn" was and still is a nickname for Bernhard. "Hausen" can be translated either as houses or villages or properties. Therefore, the original name, simply meant Bernhard's property. We know from the 1179 document that the villa Bennenhus consisted of various estates. Therefore, for properties to be called "Benn's properties", a Bernhard had to exist. ex.2

n.1
8th-9th century:
During this period the area of northern Hessen was settled by the Frankish Chatte tribe. The hilly and dense forest area, Rothenburg, in which the Bernhardshause properties were situated, was settled in the 9th and 10th centuries. Since the Benhausen family were free noble men, (none of their earliest documents ever refer to them as belonging to the ministrales class, and, who were in possession of their properties generations before 1179, it is possible that the Bennhausen family owned their lands already in the 10th century.

1003 AD:

The entire Rohrbach Valley including eastern properties in the Fuldabeuge bei the Blankenheim-Breitenbach area were given to the Benedictine monastery of Hersfeld by King Heinrich II.

n.2
circa 1060 AD: birth of Bernhard:

This is the latest date Bernhard could reasonably be born. Because, it would have taken several generations for the property which was held by Benn (Bernhard) to become generally accepted and to phonetically evolve into the Bennenhaus and other similar name forms. Furthermore, naming an estate after the original owner was a common practice at this time.

The 1179 document, also clearly states that the villa Bennenhaus was an inherited family property. Therefore, it must have been in the family for several generations. The 1179 document also mentions "other relatives". Again, it takes more than one generation to accumulate "relatives".

We know Rupertus, g.II was a mature man in 1179. He was married and had heirs. It is reasonable to assume that he was born circa 1150. It is also reasonable to assume that the property was in the family at least for three generations. Give 30 years for each generation - you have a time period of approximately 90 years. Subtract 90 years from 1150 and you have 1060, a deducted birth date for Bernhard. Unknown as documentation.
