The Gienger (Giengen Gaenger, goers) of Grien Pichel (Green Büchel, Grünbüchl, Grünbichl, Grien Pichel), of Wolfsegg (Wolfseck) and Rotteneck ( Rottenegg ) were a from Ulm derived Austrian noble family , which according to their Veste Grien Pichel , today Castle Grünbühel (municipality Kilb ) is named. In 1608 they were raised to the Austrian baron class, and in 1635 to the lower Austrian gentry class. The Austrian line died out in the middle of the 18th century, in Bavaria Baron Joseph von Gienger is still mentioned in 1769.

history

The Giengers can be traced back to Leo Löw, who was named as a citizen of Giengen an der Brenz in 1265 . His grandson Heinrich Löw von Giengen (Heinrich Gienger I.) moved to Ulm in 1286, he was the progenitor of the Löw (Löw) von Giengen , a patrician family from Ulm . Jakob Müller, who came from a rich family of traders, married Petronilla Gienger from the Löw von Giengen family around 1420 and named himself Gienger afterwards. In 1440 he became a citizen, from 1451 to 1452 he was a hospital nurse and in 1453 a judge. His son Hans (Johann) Gienger was the richest citizen of Ulm in 1469, his son Ernst Damian (Damian I) Gienger († 1556) was knighted by Emperor Ferdinand I for his services in the Swabian peasant uprising . He had eleven sons and five daughters. Around 1550 to 1560 his sons went to Austria and took on various offices. No Gienger lived in Ulm since 1625.

The first-born son of Damian I. Georg became Vice Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire , Bailiff in Upper and Lower Swabia, secret council and was Lord of Rotteneck and Bailiff of Enns. But he had no male offspring. The Gienger split into two lines. The descendants of Jakob Gienger named themselves after their seat at Kilb Gienger von Grünbühel (Grienpichel) and became extinct after 1700. The Deszendenz after Cosmas called themselves Gienger von Wolfseck after the castle Wolfsegg in Hausruck, this line died out in 1623 in the male line. Niklas Gienger von Grünbühel and his cousin Johann Friedrich were given the status of baron by Emperor Rudolph II on May 1, 1608. In 1635 the Gingers were included in the Lower Austrian gentry. Johann Franz Freiherr von Gienger went to Bavaria and so the family died out in Austria in the middle of the 18th century.
