Coat of arms of those of Cimburg (Cymburg)

The noble family von Cimburg (also von Cimburk , later from Cimburg und Tobitschau , Czech Cimburkové a Tovačovští z Cimburka ) was an old Bohemian noble family who later settled in Moravia and whose most famous personality was Ctibor Tovačovský from Cimburk . The family died out at the beginning of the 16th century.

origin

The family came from the small village Politschan (today a district of the city of Kuttenberg ). Their name is derived from the Cimburk Castle they inhabit .

coat of arms

Shield and helmet are each divided three times, in red one below the other three white walls with battlements. The helmet has a peacock feather as a sign. The Moravian branch had two folded eagle wings in the leg.

history

The ancestor of the family is said to have been Miroslav; he is said to have donated the grounds of the monastery to Sedletz monastery in 1143 . One of the early known members of the family was Jarosch von Slivno, also called Jarosch von Fuchsberg (1237-1271), who took part in the Battle of Kressenbrunn . Jarosch had two sons Albert and Rudolf. The family is said to have been related to the Ctiborians. An indication of this is the common identification mark: a running fox on their helmets.

Ctibor, called Hlava of Lošany, Burgrave of Glatz (1256–1262), is considered by some researchers as a common ancestor. This is likely to be the one first mentioned in 1238.

Cimburg von Kuttenberg was abandoned towards the end of the 14th century, the Bohemian branch of the noble family called themselves from now on Cimburger von Tobitschau (Czech Cimburkové a Tovačovští z Cimburka), others took the name of their respective lands. Among others, they settled in Gurim , Chwatlina, Struhařov , Beneschau, Wlaschim , Gumpoldz, Wojslawitz , Blatnice and Bochdanetsch .

The name von Cimburg, however, continued to use the gentlemen on Jemnish and Miroslav.

Albrecht von Tobitschau and his sons Johann (1416–1464) and Ctibor (1416–1433) as well as the sons Johanns Ctibor and Jarosch were the most famous representatives of the Cimburger von Tobitschau. The former Johann and Ctibor were advocates of the Hussite doctrine.
