Whereabouts of possession

The Kreisbach family was followed by the Hohenberger , Roggendorfer and Jörger as the new lords of Kreisbach, before in 1626 the rule of Kreisbach, together with the rule of Bergau and the Araburg, passed to Lilienfeld monastery .

Family coat of arms

The name Chreutzpeck is derived from Chreuzpach, which means Krebsbach, and so the family also used the cancer as a coat of arms and as a crest.

The coat of arms of the Wilhelmsburg district of Kreisbach shows a split shield. The left half of the shield shows a red crab on silver - the coat of arms of the Knights of Kreisbach.
