Apostles
Acts gender or country apostles are those old noble families of Austria above and below the Enns called that at the time of Babenberger were already resident (976-1246) and the forecast for the first Mansion panel formed. Since there are 16 genders, the term apostle does not refer to the exact number of twelve , but to the ancient origin of these genders.
In 1620 these were the following sexes († then already extinct):
- Lords of Polhaim
- Lords of Liechtenstein
- Count of Salm
- Lords of Traun (today Abensperg and Traun )
- Lords of Losenstein †
- Lords of Zelcking ( Zelkinger ) †
- Lords of Stubenberg
- Lords of Puechhaim ( Puchheim ) †
- Lords of Strein (Streun von Schwarzenau, Streun zu Schwarzenau) †
- Lords of Stahrenberg ( Starhemberg , Starenberg)
- Lords of Scherffenberg ( Schärffenberg )
- Lords of the Wild and Rhine Counts †
- Lords of Zinzendorf
- Counts of Fürstenberg
- Lords of Rappach †
- Counts of Collalto
In what is now Austria's territory, only the Abensperg and Traun , Liechtenstein , Starhemberg , Stubenberg and Fürstenberg-Weitra families still live .
Important medieval families of Austria, which for various reasons do not belong to the Apostle families, are for example the Habsburgs , Walseers and Schaunberger .
