The first documentary mention took place in 1230 on the occasion of the sale of a stove in Ebern by Hermann Hirzheider.
The Hirschaid were Ministeriale of the Bishop of Bamberg and spread in the Archdiocese of Bamberg . They provided several canons in Bamberg and Würzburg and belonged to the free imperial knighthood in the canton of Gebürg .
They administered Pottenstein , Senftenberg, Böheimstein and Gößweinstein , among others . The headquarters were Hirschaid , Behringersmühle ; Contz von Hirschaid built Kohlstein Castle in 1486 . In 1404 at the latest, Boden near Creußen came into the possession of the family.
The reliable family line begins with Christoph Hirsch (* 1548, † 1611), pastor in Frose , Anhalt. For his descendants who emigrated to Sweden, the Swedish nobility was recognized on October 25, 1662, the introduction to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood in 1664 under No. 680 and the enrollment with the Livonian knighthood in 1747 and with the Estonian knighthood in 1965.
The Franconian main line died out in the 17th century, the Swedish in the 18th century. The Livonian Line still exists today.
