Gundling (family)

Gundling family coat of arms

The Gundling family ( plural : Gundlinge ) is a German gender . According to current research, there is only one family with this family name in Germany . The family was initially Protestant. The lines that settled in what is now the north of Baden-Württemberg converted to the Roman Catholic faith. The lines in Prague and Cracow arose from them .

origin

Coat of arms de Glymes van Berghe with similarity to the family coat of arms Gundling

The family goes back to a Balthasar named Gundling . Balthasar Gundling is said to have participated in the Reformation himself. His son Jörg Gundling got in on July 17, 1531 Nuremberg , the civil rights . There are various theories about the ancestry of Balthasar called Gundling, which agree that the family was of aristocratic origin and should come from the Duchy of Brabant (especially the Glymes family ). First indications of ancestry are recorded in 1731 by Aletop Hilo, 1733 by Jean-Pierre Nicéron and 1756 by Andreas Würfel and Carl Christian Hirsch , 1772 by Johann Christoph von Dreyhaupt and 1795 by Anton Balthasar König .

Family names and name variants

According to family tradition , Gundling is said to be derived from Gunstling or favorite, and therefore the nominal name of Balthasar, who is said to have been in the favor of Emperor Maximilian I. This theory is also supported by Andreas Würfel. It is the earliest theory mentioned in writing. Roman von Procházka interprets the name Gundling as a matronic name for the son of a Kunigunde or Adelgunde (Gundel for short). Hans Bahlow, on the other hand, derives the name from the Germanic gund (fight). This derivation is also represented by Theo Konrad Gundling, who derives Gundling from gundo (fighter).

The name variants of Gundling include, in addition to the ennobled lines, Gundel or Gundl , which appeared as a short form of the name, especially in the Hohenlohe - Taubertal ( Tauberfranken ) area. Also in this region, the slang variant Grafe (n) Gundling was widespread, with the legend that the Gundlings lost their rule in a war. In fact, the variant probably resulted from the frequent position of members of the family as centgraves in the region. There was, however, a burgrave, Philipp Gundling, of Lichtel-Finsterlohr (1636–1691).

coat of arms

Epitaphium ( Bornstedter Friedhofskirche ) with Gundling's baronial coat of arms

The family coat of arms of the Gundlinge is emblazoned as follows : split silver and green, in front three posts in red, behind nine openwork rhombuses in gold 3: 3: 3; Ceilings in front red silver, rear green gold; Helmet crown, a peacock feather pile of 6 feathers. In the Freiherrenstandsdiplom the diamonds are not broken and indicated on a blue background.

With the ennoblement in 1724 Jacob Paul von Gundling was awarded the following improved coat of arms: Green divided three times over a shield base, divided twice in the first and third part and three times in the second part; 1 blue, a crown gold; 2 silver, an eagle's head black, gold armored; 3 gold, a green wreath; 4 and 7 silver, black wing with the Saxons inward; 5 silver, three stakes red; 6 blue, 9 diamonds gold 3: 3: 3; 8 and 10 gold, outward-facing griffin claw red, gold armored; 9 silver, an eagle's tail black coming from the upper division in stakes; Ceilings front gold red silver black and rear silver blue gold green; 3 silver ostrich feathers raised by three peacock tails, mirrored five times, of course.

In Siebmacher also a third, civic crest variation for is Nicolaus Hieronymus Gundling handed. It mainly represents the right half of the coat of arms of the family coat of arms and is emblazoned as follows: silver, three stakes red; Cover red silver; Helmet crown, three ostrich feathers red silver red. This variation of the coat of arms handed down in the Siebmacher is probably due to a transcription error resulting from a misleading formulation of the Freiherrenstandsdiplom for Jacob Paul von Gundling . There is no reliable evidence that this coat of arms variation was actually used.
