Summary

[edit]
Description
English: The small Free Imperial City of Weißenburg and part of the County of Pappenheim. The double-headed eagle shown next to Weißenburg indicates its status as an imperial city, one of the smallest of the Holy Roman Empire. Built in 1588, the mighty fortress of Wülzburg ("Wiltzburg"), stood on a hill just across the border with the Free Imperial City. It was built in 1588 by Margrave Georg Friedrich of Ansbach.

The blue-coloured enclave of Ellingen north of Weißenburg was one of the many small fiefs that still remained in possession of the Teutonic Order in Franconia and Southwestern Germany after the Order lost its much vaster possessions in northeaster Germany and the Baltic in the late Middle Ages.

Cropped from a map of the Margraviate of Ansbach by Matthäus Seutter, c. 1740.
