origin

His family of origin Adler was one of the old bourgeois families of the Egerland , which has been proven to be resident at the ministerial seat of Treunitz near Eger since 1392 . The Egerland eagles are probably descendants of the old Bohemian noble family of Adlar from the Janovice clan, which takes its name from the ancestral castle Janowitz an der Angel in the Bohemian Forest and derives its descent from a comes Johannes. The Janovice with their descendants, historically significant in the past, had an eagle in the family coat of arms, covered with a horizontal crescent moon with clover-leaf tips.
