The purpose of this book is to give a survey of the descendants of Hans Haeberlin, member of the council in Weinsberg, who lived there from 1552 to 1625 and who was married to Anna Regen. He was not the first carrier of this name, who appears in documents in and near Weinsberg. Already in a storage book of the monastery of Schoenthal near Heilbronn from 1490 a Hans Heberleyn is mentioned, who is called "Hanns Heberlin, "the miller" in a register of the same year. The following can be read about him: "Gets 18 Phennige for an acre which has been a vineyard / situated at the Stoecklin Hill / neighbor is Peter Himerberger. / close to the path". When the storage book was revised in 1528, it was stipulated how much rent Baldes Heberlin had to pay per annum for a vineyard at the Stoecklin Hill which belonged to a wine producer of the country Wuerttemberg. It can be assumed that in both cases the same vineyard is meant and that therefore the mentioned Baldes Heberlin was a son and hereditor of the miller Hans Heberlin. Considering that this name is mentioned very seldom in comparison to that of other families from Weinsberg (in a list of fire places from 1525 and in the "Tuerkensteuerliste"+ from 1542 as well as in the list "Rais, Folg and Musterung" ++ from 1521, 1563 and 1566 the name is not mentioned at all) one can draw the conclusion, that the family was very small at that time, and also that it must be the family of our. Hans Heberleyn (Hanns Heberlin). This conclusion also leads to the assumption that the oldest Heberlins who are mentioned in church registers namely Balthas, Hans and Anna were brother, sister and child of the above mentioned Baldes.

That means that the family can be traced back almost certainly until the year 1490. It is probable, that at that time


+ When Europe was in danger to be invaded by the Turks in the 16th century, lists were made up which said how much tax every citizen had to pay in order to pay the soldiers who fought against the turks - so called Tuerkensteuerlisten.
++ A kind of review lists for military service.
