User:Shield toad/Feldmann (noble family)

The Feldmann family was an Austrian lineage based in Waldshut that was raised to nobility in 1567.

History
On December 23, 1567, Emperor Maximilian II. raised Captain Adam Veltmann, from which the Feldmann line descends, to nobility. It is likely that the grounds for this honor were Veltmann's actions in various battles, with specific attention to an event that occurred in Waldshut in 1562.
