German term or phrase: innengeblieben
From a Bavarian marriage contract, dated 1831: "Der Verlobte N.N. bringt in diese Ehe ein Wohnhaus zu Rodesgrün, nebst dazugehörigen Küchengarten, dann ein TagwerkFeld am Selbitzer Weg, welche Immobilien derselbe pro fünf Hundert Gulden Rhl. übernommen, wovon ihm jedoch nur 51 [?] 6⅔ [?] als Erbtheil innengeblieben sind, laut des vorgezeigten gerichtlichen Uebergabsvertrags vom 6 April 1830..."

I understand that the prospective groom was bringing into the marriage a house, garden and field, which real estate he had taken possession of for 500 Rhenish guilders, but the rest is unclear about the inheritance. The information apparently comes from a legal deed of conveyance, dated 6 April 1830, which was presented to the court. I think the word "innengeblieben" is the key to the problem here.

Kept/Withheld as an inheritance (part)


Explanation:
I believe innenbleiben in this case means to keep/to withhold or to remain: 51% remained inheritance

innenbleiben /ihm als Erbtheil innengeblieben
reserve /reserved to him - personally - as a share of inheritance


Explanation:
I agree with Marcel R's idea, but think it could be expressed differently.

On a possible future inheritance, the notional Erbteil might have been brought into 'hotchpot' with, so angerechnet/ credited against/ the Pflichtteil as an automatic entitlement of next-of-kin.

The figures might be 51% fr. 'only' > possibly as a fractional percentage with the bride taking 49% and equivalent to 6⅔ as a fractional balance, the bride taking 6⅓ out of a carve-up of the estate into 13 parts? odd, but not unknown even nowadays, though I would have expected 3⅓ on a split into 10 parts > o. rsk./ ohne Restriktion > unconditionally, depending on such indecipherable handwriting etc.

Example sentence(s):
  • Entrenched portion > § 774 ABGB/ AUT Gen. Civ. Code bestimmt, wie der Pflichtteil zu hinterlassen ist; zB als Erbteil oder als Vermächtnis. – Der Pflichtteil muss zwar nicht als solcher bezeichnet werden, aber er „muss dem Noterben ganz frei bleiben

Notes to answerer
Asker: In the meantime, I think I figured out the abbreviations, which refer to monetary units, so--based on your interpretation--I think the passage reads: "which real estate the same has taken possession of for five hundred Rhenish guilders, of which only 51 Rhenish guilders and 6⅔ kreutzer remain as his hereditary portion, according to the presented legal deed of conveyance dated the 6th of April 1830..."
