history

Wolfsthurn Castle, still preserved, old part

The first documented member of the family was Joseph Grebmer (* 1497 in Sterzing; † 1550 ibid), bailiff of the German House (1529) and city and district judge of Sterzing (1540), married to Catharina Rodin. He received a letter of arms. This was followed by Archduke Ferdinand II. A nobility and coat of arms improvement on November 6, 1575 to Innsbruck with permission to call itself "from or to Wolfsthurn" for his son Christoph Grebmer (* 1524 in Sterzing, † 1582 ibid), city and Landrichter zu Sterzing (1557), purchaser of Wolfsthurn Castle in Mareit near Sterzing, with the permission to call himself “from or to Wolfsthurn”. He was married to Christine Mayerhofer zu Korburg († September 3, 1581). The title of nobility is derived from this residence, which was acquired in 1574 . The castle was not to become the property of the Sternbach zum Stock und Luttach until the 18th century .

Then it was split into a Tyrolean and a Vorarlberg line.

The first of the Tyrolean line was Maximilian († March 7, 1635 in Sterzing), imperial and archducal chamber councilor in Tyrol, 1619, ennobled April 5, 1619 and enrollment in the Tyrolean nobility register on June 4, 1620. He married Regina Aichhorn von Hall .

The brothers Josef and Rudolf Edle Grebmer zum Wolfsthurn received on September 14, 1643 in Innsbruck the archducal permission to use the title “von und zu Wolfsthurn” as well as an increase in coat of arms . This was followed by the Herbländisch-Austrian approval to change the coat of arms on July 19, 1673 in Vienna for the cousins ​​Johann Paris and Joseph von und zu Wolffsthurn. A descendant was Franz Josef (born May 16, 1687 in Matrei am Brenner , † March 12, 1758 in Innsbruck), court judge in Sonneburg , Princely Brixen Chancellor and Upper Austrian Chamber Council, from August 15, 1726 Austrian court chancellor, married to Anna Theresia Prugger von Grienberg and Jaufen .

Enrollment in the aristocratic class in the Kingdom of Bavaria took place on March 1, 1813 in Feldkirch for Wilhelm von Grebmer zu Wolfsthurn.

The Tyrolean line branched out to Bavaria in the 16th century , where it was recognized as a nobility in 1573, written as Gröbner, and (in contrast to the Tyrolean line) increased its coat of arms with a tower in its shield and a wolf as a treasure; Hanns von Gröbner, who is mentioned in 1578, is known from this time. The Bavarian line partly turned back to Tyrol, but both lines branched out to Austria and Bohemia. The Austrian and Bohemian lines, however, lost their nobility, because it was only Emperor Josef II . With a court decree of August 13, 1786, the aristocracy was inherited without regard to property. A bourgeois line that flourished in Bohemia begins its genealogy with Caspar Gröbner (* 1720) and ends there with Franz Johann Gröbner (* 1899) zu Bischofteinitz, this branch of the family returned to Bavaria after the Second World War due to the expulsion from the Sudetenland where it continues to bloom today.
