The coat of arms of the Groland

The Groland von Oedenberg (also: Gralant ) were one of the oldest patrician families of the Free Imperial City of Nuremberg , first mentioned in a document in Nuremberg in 1305. The Groland were in the "Inner Council" from 1346, with brief interruptions, until they died out in 1720 represented and belonged according to the " dance statute " to the twenty old sexes eligible for advice. The Oedenberg manor, acquired in 1489, was the eponymous seat of the family.

history

The origin of the Groland is not certain and is largely in the dark. The first members of the family appear in the Nuremberg records at the beginning of the 14th century. In 1305 a Grailess accepted Nuremberg citizenship and in 1307 an Albrecht Grailant followed . The Groland must have been wealthy before they were first mentioned in Nuremberg, because Heinrich Groland became a member of the Inner Council as early as 1346 . They operated long-distance trade and were represented in the Flemish cloth center Tournai, among other places. In the early 15th century, Hans and Jakob Groland represented Stromersche Handelsgesellschaft in Vienna and Ofen. Between 1417 and 1445, three members of the Groland were goldsmiths and metallurgists who were officials of the Imperial City Münzschau.

With Paul Groland von Oedenberg, the family died out on April 11, 1720
