the family had not been living in Weinsberg for long, because it is not mentioned in the storage books of the year 1427, 1448, 1465 and 1477. Also in 1477 a Peter Mueller is mentioned as miller, the successor of which was probably the ancestor of the Haeberlins. Also, the following is already noted in the storage book of 1528-, "Niclaus Geiger is at the time tenant of the Bentzen Mill". Therefore the Haeberlins can only have been tenants of the mill for a short time. This mill was at the time in the possession of the Count Palantine and the Duke of Bavaria and as a vassal of theirs the first Haeberlin probably moved into the area of Weinsberg. it is certain though, that even if the Miller Haeberlin was the first one of this name in the area, the family reached a high reputation quickly: already the above mentioned Hans Haeberlin was elected a member of the town council as well as his sister Anna as his nephew Baltras were connected through marriage with the old established and rich families Prueeler and Boman. Since that time until the middle of the 18th century almost every male member of the family was a member of the council or the court.

The genealogical tree of our family goes back over 450 years. The two oldest Haeberlin ancestors are not counted in the tree, because although their membership of the family is quite probable, it cannot be proved without doubt. Also the lines of the daughters were not follawed further than up to Johann Georg (VII,9). Going into further detail would have been too expensive. But even in this comparatively short span of time the number of descendants is enormous (7 lines) so that the today living members of the family are several hundred (today 1937) Tracing back also the lines of the female members of the family would have been an enormous work.
