; Per Med Lands: "m ([1047]) HILDEGARD, daughter of --- (-[1094/23 Jul 1095]). "Hildegardis…cum filiis meis, Ottone…Argentinenis ecclesie episcopo Suevorumque duce Friderico, Lodewico, Walthario, Cunrado et filia mea Adalheida" made a donation to the monastery of St Fides at Schlettstadt in Alsace dated 1094, presumably just before she died[1537]. She may have been the heiress of the land on which her son later built the castle of Stauf. Jackman suggests[1538] that she was Hildegard, daughter of Graf Otto & his wife ---, emphasising that it could provide an explanation based on heredity for the appointment of Hildegard's son, Friedrich von Büren, as Duke of Swabia in 1079. This assumes the need for such a hereditary basis, whereas it appears that the duchy of Swabia was awarded on the basis of the political or economic power of the nominee. In addition, if heredity had been the basis for the nomination, there would clearly have been other candidates with a senior claim. Decker-Hauff suggested[1539] that Hildegard was the daughter of Louis de Mousson (who would have been Hildegard's sister if Jackman's theory is correct). Jackman says that this should be rejected on chronological grounds as Sophie de Lorraine, the wife of Louis de Mousson, must have been born in [1020] and could not therefore have been the grandmother of Friedrich I Duke of Swabia, born in [1050]. The wife of Friedrich von Büren is not named in Europäische Stammtafeln[1540]. "

; Per Genealogics:
     "Hildegard was born about 1028, a member of the family of the Grafen von Egisheim. Her parentage is not established with certainty, but according to recent researches she was probably the daughter of Graf Gerhard III von Egisheim-Dagsburg. In the older literature she is also called Hildegard von Schlettstadt, and some sources claim that she descended from the Grafen von Mömpelgard, Bar und Mousson. Her naming as 'von Schlettstadt' arises from her foundation between 1087 and 1094 of the abbey of St. Fides (Sainte Foy) in Schlettstadt, the oldest burial place of the Hohenstaufen in Alsace, where she was probably buried. The line of Mousson-Bar was that of her cousin Ludwig von Mousson who married Sofie of Lorraine. Their son Thierry I (Dietrich) married Ermengarde de Bourgogne, daughter of Guillaume I, comte de Bourgogne, and heiress of Mömpelgard.
     "Hildegard belonged to one of the most distinguished families in Alsace, and inherited large estates in both lower and upper Alsace. The brother of her probable father was Bishop Bruno of Toul, the later Pope Leo IX. According to new researches of Eduard Hlawischka, Hildegard, through her mother, was also a great granddaughter of Conrad I, king of Burgundy.
     "According to legend, the Wäscherschloss near Wäschenbeuren was built in 1044 for Hildegard's wedding with Friedrich von Büren, the son of Friedrich, Graf im Riesgau, and Adelheid von Filsgau, heiress of Walter. She was said to have lived there with her husband for the twelve or so years of their marriage. They probably had more than six children, their fourth being Friedrich I (born around 1050), first duke of Swabia and builder of castle Hohenstaufen. It is accepted by many historians that her husband's epithet 'von Büren' refers to Wäschenbeuren and the Wäscherschloss, but this has not been proved. Hildegard died in the autumn of 1094, and was buried in the abbey of St. Fides. When the abbey's church was restored in 1892 the crypt was rediscovered and examined. In a mortared grave in front of the altar the remains of a woman were found, which were covered with a thick layer of lime, suggesting that she was victim of the plague. Her features had impressed themselves in the lime, allowing casts to be made of her bust. Because of the prestigious position of the grave, most historians believe that she is Hildegard, though there are also other theories on the woman's identity. The death mask is the only lifelike preserved portrait of a known person from the Middle Ages. A copy is now in the museum of the Wäscherschloss."³ GAV-26 EDV-26. Hildegarde von Egisheim was also known as Hildegard von Egisheim.³ Hildegarde von Egisheim was also known as Hildegard von Schwaben.⁶
