Supposedly on October 31, 843, an Adalhard gave - according to his extensive possessions in Alamannia and Francia, the members of a very important high-free clan - the Church of St. Verena zu Burc in the Gau Scherra all his proprietas in Alamannia, both the one that has already been divided between him and his fellow heirs, as well his shares in the good that he still holds undivided with those. He also hands over his goods in Wormsfeld and in (Bad) Dürkheim in what is now Palatinate with all the authorities to the same church. The Verena church in Burc, enriched in this way, especially after his own church, is now being transferred to the St. Gallen monastery with its reliquary and everything he gave her now and then, in order to get it back immediately as a fief. About a repurchase by Adalhard or by his wife Swanaburc expected children he specifies ; he expressly referred to the entire foundation as a soul device for King Ludwig (the German) , for himself, his father and mother, his wife and any sons and daughters. The donation is carried out and documented in Burc itself, in the presence of Count Liutolt and another 35 noble witnesses, several of whom belong to Adalhard's entourage .

Adalhardis therefore a dynast with great possessions and far-reaching relationships (Pfalz Sankt Gallen), which must also have great possessions outside of Alamannia if, with few exceptions, he can devote a spiritual foundation to those within Alamanniens. But maybe his Swabian possessions help to integrate him into a certain family group. Unfortunately, the goods in Swabia are not mentioned individually, but we get an insight into their size and their approximate location from what Adalhard himself and his wife Swanaburcor reserved to his future children. There are seven hooves in Schörzingen, Reichenbach, Trossingen, Mühlheim an der Donau, Meßstetten, Storzingen and Ebingen. These goods are located in a relatively closed area: at the southernmost Mühlheim an der Donau, at the northernmost Ebingen; the easternmost point denotes Storzingen, the westernmost Trossingen. Within this 35 km long, at its widest point around 20 km wide area you will also be able to look for Burc, to whose Verena Church Adalhard transfers his property. The Burc der Adalhard certificate from (allegedly) 843 is today's Straßberg in the Schmiechatal.

Burc-Straßberg was already a noble seat in the 9th century, probably formed the - or at least - the core of Adalhard's Swabian household goods until it was donated to Sankt Gallen and probably remained both afterwards. Adalhard's nomination, which has since been set at 843, and the transfer from Burc-Straßberg to Sankt Gallen can now be set to October 31, 854.

This also solved the question: who is Adalhard? Around 843, he did not match any of the well-known aristocrats of this name, but in 854 he could be equated by comparison. In the gift he explicitly mentions that the goods on the Alb and in the Albvorland are inheritance, which is partly already shared between the heirs, but partly is still an undivided commons - probably between siblings or close relatives? So a noble, especially after the KAROLINGERN , especially Ludwig the German , sipped, with large possessions outside of Swabia, a man who was married around 854 and was still childless, made rich gifts to Sankt Gallen, and who together with his siblings or nearest relatives in the Westalb area.

In the will of Margrave EberhardIn addition to the sons Unrouch , BERENGAR and Rudolf, and the daughters Angiltrud , Judith , Heilwig and Gisela , a son Adalhard actually appears , who in 863 owned the family property in Flanders with the rich monastery Cysonium-Cysoing, donated by Eberhard and Gisela , and the hereditary dignity of the lay abbot of Cysoing receives. The possession of Judith , Adalhard's sister from Cysoing , in and around Balingen, lies on the important road described above from the Danube to the Neckar and hence from Lake Constance to the Black Forest, Kraichgau and Rheintal, which is dominated by Adalhard's Burc headquarters . Adalhard's extra-Swabian allod, which the document of 854 necessarily presupposes, is evidenced from the will of Margrave Eberhard from 863/64: the goods on the Alb, which Adalhard gave out during his father's 854 lifetime, probably belong to that of Hereditas that already existed was distributed, while in the division of inheritance (mentioned in the area of ​​the possible) between the siblings, the remaining Swabian possessions were then given to Unrouch and Judith fell. Since Judith's other inheritance is not mentioned in the will, but the proportions of the children in the paternal inheritance were approximately the same, Judith's inheritance around Balingen must have been considerable, because Unruoch's Italian and Swabian, Adalhard's West Franconian and BERENGARS Maasland and Lombard inheritances outweighed . From what Adalhard already had on and at the feet of the Westalb before his father's will and what the other siblings there might have had, it can be concluded that the UNRUOCHINGER must have owned a large complex of own property in the Scherra and Baar area. One probably does not go wrong in assuming that Count Adalhard from the time of King Pippin and the early years of Charles the Great , from whom the name Adalhardsbaar may have its origin, with the later ownership of the UNRUOCHINGER in this area and the appearance of the Name Adalhard in their home.

Since then, Adalhard , the son of Margrave Eberhard , had known nothing more than mentions to 863 and 874. That he was older than his brother, the future emperor BERENGAR Brandenburg suspected - was not convincing. His earliest possible date of birth is around 836. From the gift to Sankt Gallen, we now learn the name of his previously unknown wife, Swanaburc , and the presumed marriage year, 854. Adalhard married at the age of 18, a marriage age that was not unusual for the highly free at the time . From 855 onwards, he may have had children who are not mentioned in Burc's 854 document. He still lived as a lay abbot of Cysoing in the 1970s , but must have died shortly before 890 at the latest , since his 892 deceased brother Rudolfhad followed him as a lay abbot in Cysoing and ruled there for several years. Nothing is known about Swanaburc's end.

When he inherited 863, he apparently had other property in Swabia that later formed the core of the Achalm estate. His brother Unruoch also received pieces from his father's inheritance in Alemannia; his sister Heilwig may also have inherited a Swabian property complex.
