The von Ingenheim family was an old, noble , Alsatian- Lorraine noble family . In the 18th century a Bavarian line was formed, which quickly made a career in administration and the military under Elector Karl Albrecht .

Family history

The von Ingenheim family can be traced back to the year 1377 with a Götz von Ingenheim. At the end of the Middle Ages, a branch line based in Metz was formed . From this came Daniel von Ingenheim, who entered the service of Landgrave Karl von Hessen-Wanfried and was raised to the status of imperial baron. He married the Landgrave's daughter, Maria Anna Johanna, in 1703, not befitting the bride. In 1704 the couple moved to Erfurt. The couple's three children, Maria Carolina Charlotta, Carl Wilhelm and Franz August, entered Bavarian services as chambermaids and pages . Charlotta also became the most important mistress of the future Elector Karl Albrecht . A common, illegitimate son founded the noble family von Holnstein . She used the influence resulting from their relationship to intensively promote the military and court careers of her brothers. Two generations later, in 1807, the male line died out.
