The Counts Christalnigg (Christallnigg) von und zu Gillitzstein are a Catholic, wealthy Austrian noble family in Carinthia .

history

Starting from Carinthia, where Georg Christallnig is mentioned as an ironworks in the lower Görtschitztal in the second half of the 15th century , branches of the family came to Bruck an der Mur . Andrä Christallnigg appeared as a citizen of Bruck in Gültenbuche as early as 1539. His descendants stayed there as trades . Those who became wealthy through the iron trade were promoted to knightly imperial nobility in Prague in 1575 , and soon afterwards moved back to Carinthia, where they appeared in 1583 as merchants in St. Vitus and Trades in Hüttenberg. Mention was made of Hans von Christallnigg, 1582 council citizen and merchant of Graz, as well as his brother Johann Christof, court chaplain of Archduke Karl II. The latter appointed the brothers Balthasar, David and Christof as hereditary coats of arms and improved their old coat of arms.

The family consisted of two lines in Carinthia until 1600, the Hornburger and Gillitzsteiner. The former, of Protestant denomination, emigrated to the Netherlands at the beginning of the 17th century , whereupon the Gillitzsteiner Line came into possession of the goods of the Hornburg Line.

David was the ancestor of the later barons and counts. He was the first of the later five lords to acquire the Gillitzstein trade headquarters from Balthasar Kulmer von Rosenbichl in 1605 .

In 1630 Eberstein came into the possession of the Christalnigg, who had recently settled at Gillitzstein Castle because their owners, the Protestant Welzer family , had to emigrate in the course of the Counter-Reformation . The residence of the count's family was Meiselberg Castle in Carinthia from 1793 to 1919 .
