Hunebourg
The counts of Hunebourg , probably resulting from the counts of Dabo-Metz, are quoted at the beginning of XIIe in documents which announce the existence of the castle and the first two counts Theoderic and Folmar. The lords de Hunebourg who have the castle until 1225, are Avoué S of the abbeys of Neuwiller and Honau. Currently, the site of the castle is on a rock with 425 meters of altitude on the territory of the commune of Neuwiller-lès-Saverne.
Most known of the family of Hunebourg is Conrad II, bishop of Strasbourg of 1190 to 1202. It reverses traditional alliance between the bishops of Strasbourg and the emperors of the Saint Worsens. With the counts of Dabo-Metz, it takes the party of the pope Innocent III against the Hohenstaufen at the time of the succession of Henri VI/Heinrich VI. The competition opposes Otton of Brunswick to Hohenstaufen Philippe de Souabe which comes to devastate the episcopal grounds and the bishop must finally join with this last.
