Dyhrn
Dyhrn (also Dyherrn ) is the name of an old Prussian - Silesian noble family that originally came from the Meissen nobility .
history
The Dyhrn family was first mentioned in the 13th century. At that time she moved from Saxony to the Duchy of Silesia , where the Rudelsdorf - Reesewitz branch was settled until the end of the Second World War.
The Dyhrn family divided into three main lines in the 15th and 16th centuries:
- the nobles in Lusatia
- the baron in the Principality of Glogau
- the Countess in the Principality of Oels
In the course of time, all three lines were divided into numerous legitimate and illegitimate branches, which also flourished outside of Silesia and Prussia and whose status was still raised in some cases. In the 17th century, two branches of the family were elevated to the baron status and another to the count. In the 18th century, all branches of the oil niche line had the dignity of a count. A noble, untitled branch in Lausitz also became a baron at the end of the 18th century, but soon died out.
