Sir Knight Henricus von Lunkhofen

Henricus Lunkhofen is the earliest ancestor in Schnebeli line that researchers have found so far. Although his parentage has not been proven, he is probably the son of Johannes Von Lunkhofen and Anna Von Lunkhofen.

Birthdate: before 1200, perhaps in 1192 Birthplace:Lunkhofen, Aargau (Ch) and Death:May 21, 1257 (64-65)
Zurich, Zurich District, Zurich, Switzerland
Father of Sir Knight Rudolfus Von Lunkhofen and Chunradus Von Lunkhofen
Brother of Hugo Von Lunkhofen and Conradus Von Lunkhofen

His wife's link to the shrine at the Wasserkirche was a source of wealth for Henricus Through their relatiornship with the Graf (prince) von Kyburg, the von Hottingens had feudal ownership of the Hottingerturm (Tower), which once stood next to the Wasserkirche (shown here as it looked in 1700), next to the shrine to Saints Felix and Regula. I think the family made money from the shrine of the tower they owned that stood next to it, perhaps taking a percentage of offerings made by pilgrims. by joyceanncapron on Ancestry

Henricus was a minor noble from the Zurich area and a member of ZURCHER RITTERGESCHLECHT (THE ZURICHER HOUSE OF KNIGHTS). He was third knight in the order of KNIGHTS VON LUNKHOFEN, a string of six knights spanning six consecutive bloodline generations. Documentation shows him listed as a citizen of Zurich and known to be a member of the COUNCIL OF KNIGHTS in 1250, and in the 1250's he was a feudal tenant of Rotenburg and also a feudal tenant in Regensdorf of the Baron of Regensberg.
