history

origin

Lombardy / Friuli and Austria / Bavaria

The family is first mentioned in a document around 1350 with Bettino Andri de Boaris de Gandino . Francesco appears in documents between 1439 and 1510, among other things as consul in Gandino . His son Simon Andrinis de Gandino is mentioned in documents from 1482 to 1548. Like his father, he was consul in Gandino.

Of the sons of Simon Andrinis de Gandino , Piero (documented mentions from 1529 to 1548) was the founder of the inner-Austrian line and Jacomin, documented mention in 1548, the founder of the line in Friuli , which however already expired in 1716. Together with their brother Andrea, who appears in a document in 1587, they were the first to use the name Andrian .

On December 12, 1610 in Graz , the cousins ​​Elias and Peter Andrian received a confirmation of nobility with the privilege of sealing them with red wax. Elias Andrian was accepted into the Carniolan estates on January 19, 1624 . Nicolaus Andrian from the Friulian line was accepted into the imperial aristocracy in Vienna on April 19, 1629 with an improved coat of arms .

A grant of lower jurisdiction over the estates in and around Fiumicello as well as the right to call oneself von Clandorf ( Parwa villa ) took place by Princess Anna Maria von Eggenberg on July 15, 1649 in Eggenberg for Nicolaus Andriani and all his male descendants.

Thomas Ignatius Andrian was accepted into the Styrian estates on January 19, 1650. Giacintho Andriani von Clandorf, Oberstwachtmeister , received the old Bohemian knighthood with an improved coat of arms on August 6, 1667. Ferdinando Barone d'Andriani, electoral Cologne treasurer and colonel , became patrician of Gorizia on September 28, 1769 .

Nicolaus Andrian, apostolic protonotary and abbot of the Fünfkirchen monastery, Johann Joseph Adrian, captain in the Portia regiment and Max Joseph Andrian were elevated to the imperial baron status in Vienna on August 27, 1692 with the title of Andrian Freiherr von Verburg and an increase in the coat of arms.

The baronial strain is reached by the son of Barons Franz Carl Elias, Joseph Ferdinand Leopold Freiherr von Adrian Werburg, to Bavaria. With the dowry of his wife Josephine Sidonia von Baumann, whose mother was a Schillerer von Regenstauf, he received extensive goods in the Nordgau . An entry in the aristocratic registers of the barons' class in the Kingdom of Bavaria was made on October 3, 1812. The family still exists.

South-Tirol

In older literature, a Tyrolean origin of the Lombard family is suspected, although it has not been conclusively clarified whether the Andri (a) nis de Gandino descended from the Tyrolean nobility , which named itself in the 13th century after the place Andrian in South Tyrol , which is also today whose family coat of arms leads. The Lords of Andrian were ministerials to the Counts of Eppan at Andrian Castle , first mentioned in 1237 , and around 1280 they built Wolfsthurn Castle a little below this , which in 1430 came to the family of the Wolves of Mareit by marriage, after which it was named. The Tyrolean family originally called themselves Murentheim (also Murentein or Murentheiner ) from Andrian and appeared around 1200 in the county of Gorizia, among other places .

The fortified castle near Prissian came to the von Andrian family in 1332 through the marriage of Eghard Murenteiner von Andrian with Adelheid von Werberg, daughter of Heinrich von Werberg, who died in 1323, but initially only in part, from 1411 in full. Until 1587, the fortified castle also owned the Wolfsthurn Castle in Andrian , the Schenkengut in Terlan and the Mayrhof am Thurn (Saltenbüchl), the Kemathof and the Fahlburg in Prissian . After the death of Erasmus von Andrian-Werburg in 1587, these possessions were divided. In 1798 the Tyrolean family with Joseph Bernardin went out, whereupon the feudal estate Wehrburg was confiscated by the Tyrolean royal chamber. However, the Styrian line of the Lombard family shown above could not prove their alleged descent from the Tyrolean family, although they had already been elevated to the status of imperial baron as Andrian Barons von Verburg in 1692 . She could not prevail with her demand for the transfer of feudal rights, so that the fortified castle was sold to farmers by the Merano Rent Office.
