Gabelkofen , also Gabelkoven , is the name of an old, originally Bavarian noble family . The family, whose members later also acquired ownership and reputation in Lower Austria , Styria , Carinthia and Swabia and Franconia , belong to the nobility of Lower Bavaria .

history

origin

The family is first mentioned in a document in 1343 with Linhart Gabelkofer . The secured line of trunks begins with Berthold Gabelkofer , who died in 1436. Gablkofen, which gave the family its name, is now part of the Reisbach market in the Dingolfing-Landau district in Lower Bavaria .

It was only relatively late that members of the gender included the predicate of in their names. Like many other Bavarian nobility families, they initially called their surnames adjectivistically, Gabelkofer or Gabelkover .

Spread and lines

According to Kneschke , Bernhard Gabelkhofer von Freyenberg, who appeared in a document in 1223, belonged to the family. He was the feudal owner of the castles and estates at Gavelkhofen and Griesbach. The family also included Peter Gabelkofer, who founded an anniversary in the church in Griesbach in 1230, and Bernhard II, who appeared as Canon of Regensburg in 1241 .

During the 15th century members of the family settled in Austria and Styria, and later also in Carinthia, Swabia and Franconia. Paul Gabelkofer († 1496) married Ursula Schott von Hollernthal (also Schott von Holdernthal ) for the second time . The marriage resulted in nine children, of whom four sons continued the sex in four lines. Wolfgang founded the Styrian Line, from which the future barons and counts come. Leonhard founded the line in Carinthia, which expired with the death of Joseph Anton at the beginning of the 18th century. Zacharias II was the founder of the later knightly line in Austria and Ruprecht founded the line in Swabia. The Swabian line died out with Ruprecht's grandsons Wolf Ruprecht and Georg in the 17th century. Oswald Gabelkover (* 1539; † 1616) came from this line . He became the Duke of Württemberg's personal physician and was also an important archivist , librarian and heraldist . His son Johann Jacob Gabelkover († 1635) was also employed in Württemberg and continued his father's work as an archivist and librarian in Stuttgart . A Christoph Gabelkover was mayor of Esslingen from 1627 to 1631 .

The branches based in Franconia and Thuringia emerged from the Austrian line. From these branches came Johann Balthasar Gabelkover von Gabelkoven, who lived in 1717 as a ducal Saxon-Gotha privy councilor and president of the upper consistory. Hans Siegfried came from his marriage to a daughter from the von Hopffgarten family. He became the ducal chamberlain of Brunswick . At the end of the 18th and beginning of the 19th century, only the baronial line in Styria and the line in Austria flourished.

As one of the last counts from this family, Johann Philipp Anton von Gabelkofen left only two daughters, Antonia and Carolina, from his marriage to Maria Antonia Rosamunde Freiin von Sinnich. The latter died in 1751 as a married Countess von und zu Auersperg . Martin Joseph Anton, who was raised to the rank of count in 1715, also died without male descendants.
