Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel
In the 14th century, the family held fiefs in Nettlingen (today a village in the municipality of Söhlde in Hildesheim district) belonging to the Principality of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel and Principality of Hildesheim. Around 1325, the counts of Wohldenberg enfeoffed the knights with the juridisdiction ("Gerichtsbarkeit") of the village and the logging rights ("Holzgrafschaft") on the Vorholz, a low, heavily forested ridge near Hildesheim.
