Bila , also Biela and Byla , is a Thuringian nobility family with the parent company Bielen near Nordhausen . In the 16th century, representatives of the family emigrated to the Kingdom of Bohemia , but returned to Thuringia and the southern Harz.

history

The legend tells of the rescue of Emperor Heinrich IV. By a family of woodcutters and charcoal burners in the southern Harz on his flight from the Harzburg in the course of the Saxon War in 1073. That family is said to have been knighted after Heinrich's power consolidation and the fief of Bielen near Nordhausen have received. According to legend, the name is derived from the woodcutter's ax, old high dt. bīhal .

The place Bielen is mentioned 1158 for the first time as Biela in a document of the Emperor Friedrich I. Barbarossa .

Thilo von Bila 1200 and then Albertus de Bele is mentioned for the first time in a document . In the 19th century the sex was divided into the three lines Bila, Biela and Byla. The family temporarily owned Hainrode and Stapelburg and had fiefdoms in Auleben , Berga , Roßla , Tilleda and Wernrode in the Golden Aue and in the Hainleite . Later they owned a manor in Zscheiplitz (Biela, 1847–1945) and from the middle of the 19th century to the beginning of the 20th century in Markröhlitz . As a result of the land reform in 1945, the goods in Gerbitz (Bila), Zscheiplitz (Biela) and Uthleben (Byla) were expropriated.

  • The coat of arms shows two silver hatchets turned outwards in a blue shield , with a triple-mutilated golden tree trunk (branch) between them. On the helmet with blue-silver covers, the tree trunk between open, silver and blue over-corner-split flight .
    The coat of arms can be found on the manor house in Markröhlitz and on the main house of the Zscheiplitz manor and at the entrance to the crypt there in the monastery church.
  • The family coat of arms with the two outward facing axes can be found in a seal of Apel von Bila from 1313 and on the grave slab of the dean Friedrich von Bila († 1327) in the crypt of the Catholic Nordhausen cathedral .
    The triple stunted branch between the axes is an addition to the coat of arms after the marriage of Christoph von Bila, initially a page to King Maximilian I , with Anna von Werthern in 1480.
