In Hesse, just outside of Eisenach, Thuringia is a village and castle that
was half owned by the Schwebheim Bibra from 1757 to 1850. Ernst Karl
Treusch von Buttlar zu Willershausen and Frankenfels and Charlotte von
Kühn daughter Friederike Sophia married Johann Philipp Joseph Ignatz
von Bibra from Schwebheim. Married contract July 4, 1748, marriage
July 6, 1748. Upon Ernst Karl death in 1757, the estate (including the
fief) passed to the two daughters (or the husbands??). Friederike
Sophia’s sister, Caroline married Heinrich von Kutzleben. The estate
was divided between the two families on September 27, 1817 by
Friedrich August von Kutzleben. Friederike Sophia von Bibra, born
Treusch v. Buttlar died on August 7, 1787. As the fief (half of
Willershausen) was passed to both male and female descendants (rare
occurance), it was successfully transferred to her many descendants
both male and female September 3, 1789. I believe in 1848 feudalism
ended in Germany and ownership transferred to the fief holders. The
daughters and granddaughters received compensation during the Bibra
years and at the sale. Shortly thereafter Ernst von Bibra, the sole male
Bibra (and probably all) descendant sold their portion in 1850 to
Landgrave Carl August of Hesse. From 1889 to 1992 the Landgraves of
Hesse were owner of the property. Today, a golf course is maintained.
