Family coat of arms of the Counts of Gilleis 1699

Gilleis (also knights, barons, counts of Gilleis , or Gilleiser , formerly from Gillaus or Gilauzer ) is the name of a very old Austrian noble family from Lower Austria , first mentioned in a document in 1273.

history

The Gilleisers had probably taken their name from the Gut Gillaus, a village and office of the rule of Hardenstein on the Krems, or perhaps Gillaus had first built it and given this place their name.

According to Job Hartmann von Enenkel, Conrad or Chunrad der Giläuser appears in documents as early as 1273 and 1274 in Krems, and Otto Gileis in Sancto Vito in documents from the Lilienfeld monastery in 1289 and 1308. The seal of the same gives the family's coat of arms. From the middle of the 15th century the line of trunks continued uninterrupted.

Wolfgang Georg von Gilleis (* 1530; † May 31, 1593), kk treasurer, captain of the Arcieren-Leibgárde, Colonel Court Marshal administrator etc., was given the title of Panier- and by Emperor Rudolph II on November 1, 1579 Freiherr zu Sonnberg , elevated to the status of a baron in the Holy Roman Empire and the Hereditary Lands. His wife was Catharina Freiin Teufel von Gunderstorf from 1576 († April 5, 1594).

According to the genealogical paperback of the count's houses from 1854, the imperial count class came into the family in 1699, but Wissgrill does not know the elevation to the count class. The male line of the family went out with Julius Graf von Gilleis on August 1, 1841.

The name and coat of arms association with the House of Attems zu Attems-Gilleis took place for the first time ad personam for Anton August von Attems-Gilleis according to AE Rohnstock with a diploma dated November 9, 1890.

coat of arms

Blazon of the family coat of arms from 1273: On blue shields a double barb held diagonally to the right . The figure is mistaken for an old type of sinking iron, a gil iron.

Blazon of the coat of arms from 1699: In the blue shield there is a double, golden barbed hook placed on the right; the upper point of the same turns down to the right, the lower left upwards and in the middle there is a ridge to the right and below, like an ascending and descending step, which is curved at the top in a half circle and pierced in the middle. The figure is mistaken for an old type of sinking iron, a so-called Gil iron. On the count's crown there is a crowned helmet, which wears an open, blue eagle's flight, the right wing of which is covered with an oblique left bar of gold and blue in two rows, each divided into six fields, but the left one with such a diagonal bar. As a result of the Saxons and the swinging of the wings, of course, not all fields of the cut beam can be seen. The helmet covers are blue and gold.
