origin

The Juncker, also Junckher or Junker, come from an old noble family in Lower Austria . They had been a patrician family of the imperial city of Eger in Nordgau since 1255 . The coat of arms of Sigmund von Junker, who was born in Eger in 1266 and died there in 1338 as sub-commander of the Eger fortress, has been preserved in the masonry of a window pillar and in the chapel of the Staufer imperial castle in Eger. It shows a young man ( young man ) on a mountain of three , holding a mace in each hand . The grave of Sigmund Junker was in the choir of the Dominican church in Eger. His descendants acquired large estates in the Egerland and were lords of the Seeberg castle from 1441 to 1497 with Kaspar Junker, who was married to Anna Schlick von Passaun and Weißkirchen . In 1483 they received from Emperor Friedrich III. a confirmation of the aristocratic origin and the coat of arms. In 1442 they were resident at Castle and Gut Gehaag .

The Juncker von Oberkunreuth in Egerland

In 1447 Johann Juncker took over the manor house of Oberkunreuth near Eger from the Eger patricians Schirnding on Altalbenreuth in Frais , their later long-term residence, where they built a fortified, three-tower castle in 1563. Through this possession they carried the title of nobility "von Oberkunreuth" and acquired the Oberpilmersreuth fiefdom ( Horní Pelhřimov ) with the associated lordship. The Oberkunreuth manor was bought in 1735 by a widowed Juncker von Oberkunreuth - according to another source by the brothers Georg Adam and Johann Junker - with the Liebeneck estate , which had belonged to the Juncker since 1688, as well as the village of Diemreuth and the house in Eger for 40,000 guilders sold to the city of Eger. The brothers Georg Adam and Johann Juncker von Oberkunreuth had been imperial barons in the Bavarian imperial vicariate since 1741 . From 1471 to the beginning of the 16th century, they owned the Pograth ( Podhrad ) castle and estate ; In 1569 they acquired the Miltigau estate in the old Bohemian Elbogen district , which was entered in the land table. Around 1600 they acquired farms in Trogau , 1696 the Oberndorf estate , 1701 the Altenteich ( Starý Rybník ) estate and 1703 Seeberg Castle and Lordship , which they owned from 1441 to 1497 and was bought back by the city of Eger.

From Georg Adam von Oberconreuth (* 1608) and his wife Katharina Theresia Freiin von Sazenhofen (* around 1610) comes a branch of the Eger patrician dynasty Juncker, whose first branch on welding with Ottokar Freiherr von Juncker and Bigatto, who was raised to baron in 1814, extinct on December 13, 1828 in the male line. Clemens Freiherr Junker von Bigatto was the lord of the castle of Schweißing in 1823 and, in succession to the Teplá Monastery, owner of the Saint Amalien silver mine in Sangerberg near Marienbad . The military Anton Carl Joseph von Junckher (* around 1780), received on March 16, 1840 by Emperor Franz II the Herbländisch-Bohemian baron and an association with the name and coat of arms of the extinct family "von Bigatto", whose property he had inherited . He was resident on Woppenhof in the Upper Palatinate and owned Großschüttüber ( Velka Šitboř ), Schweing and Oschelin in the Egerland .
