Wilhelm Dilss [Urbach, Westerwald]

In 1998, I visited Dilsberg, Germany and located on top of a hill overlooking the Neckar River and surrounding a fortress created in the beginning of the 13th Centery. Although it is not known how the town got it's name, it is interesting to known that the name Dils was in use back then, howbeit, spelled out in Latin originally.

This emblem "Bobbo [Boppo] of Tilisburc" marks control of what is today spelled Dilsberg. In 1253 Boppo ruled the strategic area of Dilsberg, Germany in a beautiful location along the Neckar River and across from other strongholds. 1150-1200: Creation of the castle as a successor to the neighbouring Wiesenbach Castle. 1208: First documented mention of "Dilighesberch" as the residence of Count Boppo V. von Lauffen Dilsberg soon became the property of the counts of "Dürn" (Walldürn). Boppo I. von Durn was born in 1221, married Euphenia Gräfin Euphemia von Dilsburg - DÜRN (born Grafin von Rieneck) in 1245, at age 24. They had one son: Boppo II Von Steinach. I notice the creature on shield and the emblem resembles the flag used in Durn where Boppo was born. Dilsberg: 1288: Rudolf von Habsburg buys the mountain fortress from the impoverished Counts of Dürn. In the beginning of the 14th century, Dilsberg falls into the ownership of the Kurpfalz. Dilsberg is raised to the status of a town in 1368.In 2000, I went to Urbach, Germany in the western hills east of Cologne above neuwied germany. https://www.outdooractive.com/en/poi/westerwald/village-museum-urbach/14924326/ While visiting Urbach,above Nuewied, Germany, I noticed that the name Dills was still present in the area although the local spelling was Dilss in the 17th century.
