Besides landholdings and income, Altmünster had the Heidesheim "Vogtei" and thereby sovereign rights over the village. Over the course of the centuries, the "Vogtei" passed through many holders’ hands: That it was held after 1250 by the Lords of Biegen, who gave it back to Altmünster on 13 February 1285 is clearly not so. The relevant document refers not to Heidesheim, but rather to Hattenheim in the Rheingau. Against this is that the Abbey appointed Werner von Winterau and his male heirs village "Vögte" on 31 January 1326. The lordly house of Winterau died out before 12 April 1372, on which day a Wilhelm von Scharpenstein was avouched as "Vogt". From him the "Vogtei" passed on 14 July 1385 in inheritance along the male line to Dietrich Huth von Sonnenberg.
