History edit

The family first appeared in a written document in 1007. They were noted as having estates there since at least 1472.[1] The family eventually became hereditary chamberlains of the Prince-Bishopric of Trient and were raised to the counthood in August 1648. In the 19th century, branches lived in Austria and Prussia.[2]
