They are one of the oldest extant German noble families, going back to at least 1129.[1] By 1400, they had moved to Austria, where they were created barons, in 1574, and Imperial Counts, in 1610. After Brandenberg-Prussia annexed Silesia in the First Silesian War, a branch of the family joined the Prussian nobility.[2] In the nineteenth century, they had seats in both the Austrian and Prussian Herrenhauser, or House of Lords.[3]
