To the people of Uri it is clear that the von Attinghausen / von Schweinsberg family arrived from the Emmental.

The Burg Schweinsberg was built by Werner III von Signau, henceforth called Werner von Schweinsberg (1212).

That plot of land had been under control of the Barons von Signau.

The von Signau family was closely linked to the Counts von Kyburg, von Habsburg and the Dukes von Teck and Zähringen.

The inhabitants of the original Burg Attinghausen don‘t seem to be linked to this family directly. They are unknown and must have become extinct.

You are welcome to join our family‘s Facebook Group Zumbrunnen von Attinghausen von Signau, if you wish.

I would therefore date the family not to 1209 but to 1130 (first mention of Frh. Werner I von Signau).

Best wishes

Ulysse Ulrich Schnegg Zumbrunnen

Many of the records this far back are fairly muddled. While parts of this tree are very clearly established, other pieces are in dispute. At some point, I’ll create links to the individual members of this tree that will discuss which links are secure and which are more speculative or uncertain. For more about the origins of this interesting family, read here. […]
