history
The family was first mentioned in 1221 with Wernhardus and Wernherus frateres de Armansberge . The tribe series began with the knight Sybotto Armansperger , who also appeared from the 13th century onwards , Truchsess of the Bavarian Counts of Kirchberg . Wiguleus Hund states that a Martin von Armansperger took part in the battle of Hiltersried against the Hussites .
Until the end of the 16th century, members of the family sat in Armannsberg, Inkofen , Gingkofen and Ellenbach near Landshut in Lower Bavaria . On July 7th, 1588 Hanns Sigmund von Armansperg († 1617) sold the Hofmark Armansberg to Peter von der Gilgen on Oberköllnbach for 3000 fl . Schönberg came to this family through the marriage of Sara , daughter of Hanns Egidi von Sonderndorf , to Hanns Sigmund von Armansperg . Also Oberbrunn , a Hofmark in district court Kling , came across this marriage to the arm Untersperger. His son Johann Wilhelm von Armansperg took part in three campaigns against the Hungarians. His first wife was (1622) Rosina von Salburg , his second (1628) was called Maria Jakobe von Elsenhaimb . The other son Jerome became a minorite . The youngest son Johann Franz († 1649 at the age of 21) succeeded Schönberg. His wife was Euphrosina Willerin (also Weilerin) von Gerazhausen . The daughter from this marriage, Martha , married a Herr von Soyer .
In 1719 Georg von Armansperg , truchess of Elector Max Emanuel of Bavaria , received the title of baron and in 1790 his grandson, the Bavarian governor Joseph Felix von Armansperg , was raised to the rank of count . He founded two lines, one of which that earlier in Austria landständisch was with Count Joseph Ludwig von Armansperg 1853 went out. He was Bavarian Foreign Minister, Greek State Chancellor and President of the Regency of Greece for the minor King Otto von Wittelsbach . The younger line is still in bloom today.
Georg Joseph von Armansperg was married twice; his first wife was Maria Anna von Ruestorf , his second Maria Regina von Neuching . The daughter from this marriage, Maria Paulina , married a gentleman from Schönbrunn . On May 26, 1703 he made his will. He is succeeded by his son Johann Anton Joseph († 1736). He was the caretaker and castler of Diessenstein. By marrying Maria Sophia Adelheit von Schrenk , he entered into a relationship with the family that owned Schloss Egg at the time and later he owned it. His eldest daughter, Maria Antonia Josepha , entered the Niederschönenfeld monastery in 1746 , while his son Joseph Ferdinand died as a captain in the Churbayer body regiment. Franz Xaver Ignatz Joseph von Armansberg now comes into the possession of Schönberg ; he only calls himself Josef Felix (* 1718, † 1792 in Munich). He was a chamberlain, councilor and Kastner on Diessenstein. His wife was Maria Josepha Elisabeth de Saint-Marie-Eglise on Grumenab . He sold his other estates (Schönberg, Khay, Grub, Fräbertsham, Allarsthann, Vilsessing) and bought Egg and Loham Castle in 1751 . The daughter Adelheid (* 1754) married Count Joner (the family from Alsace lived on Tettenweis ), the daughter Maria Theresa died unmarried in 1805 as a lady-in-waiting of a Duchess of Bavaria. The sisters Anna († 1812) and Elise († 1826) also remained unmarried.

Egg and Loham were merged into a Fideikommiss in 1792 . The son Joseph Felix (* 1756) took over this inheritance, the son Franz Seraph (* 1762), who made a name for himself as a radical enlightener and church critic, received the Grünau estate near Mauerkirchen as compensation ; he was married to a baroness von Berchem († 1843) and five children were born from this marriage. For the three sisters Therese , Annette and Lisette 15,000 fl parents were given away. Joseph Felix Ferdinand Graf von Armansperg († 1820 and buried in the castle chapel of Egg Castle), Lord on Egg, Loham, Mariaposching, Oberneuching, Breitenried, Deggenau, Chamberlain of the King of Bavaria, Councilor of Straubing, caretaker of Kötzting, had himself on May 24th 1786 with Ludovika Freiin von Verger (German Baumgarten ), from a French family, married. The marriage gave birth to four children: Joseph Ludwig (* 1787, † 1853, ultimus familiae ), Theres Catharina (* 1788), Philipp Nerius (* 1790, died in Gnesen during the Napoleonic Russian campaign on February 4, 1813 ) and Max Heinrich (* 1792, killed in the fighting for Token against the Tyroleans on September 25, 1809). What remained was the son Joseph Ludwig , Bavarian member of parliament, ministerial official and minister. He was married to Theresia von Weichs (born May 6, 1787 in Straubing, † 1859 in Regensburg), lady of the palace of the Queen of Bavaria. The marriage resulted in four daughters: Louise Carolina Margaretha Maximiliana Theresia (born October 12, 1817 in Speyer, † 1835 on the sea near Greece). She married the prince Cantacuzenos . Sophia Carolina Antonia Maria Clara (born August 12, 1819 in Augsburg, † August 8, 1868 in Egg) married the Moldovan grand boyar Demetrius von Cantacuzenos . Maria (born November 5, 1828) was married to Baron Julius von Eichthal , a leather manufacturer in Munich. The daughter Karolina (1821–1888) married twice in the USA, with Florian Moerdes and with the writer Julius Froebel, a nephew of the famous pedagogue Friedrich Froebel, and died in Algiers.
From the middle of the 18th century, the Armanpergers were wealthy with Schönberg and Oberbrunn north of the Chiemsee , the Lords of Armansperg then owned the Egg and Loham Castle near Metten on the Danube . These fell through female succession in the middle of the 19th century to the Princess Cantacuzene , born Countess Sophie von Armansperg and the last Armansperger on Egg.
