history
The Köhlers are a branch of the von Krosigk family, who first appeared in 1103 . The spelling of von Krosigk changed frequently and was not consolidated until the 18th century, while the Köler von Krosigk line emerged as early as the 15th century and sold the Krosigk castle to the von Trotha family in 1421 . After the sale of Krosigk, they renounced the addition of Krosigk and called themselves only Köler and finally Köhler , usually without the nobility addition of , which was only taken up again at the beginning of the 18th century.
In addition to Muldenstein , Priorau was one of the headquarters of the Köhler family, who had been there since at least 1441 or 1457. Joachim Ernst von Köhler, son of Wolf Heinrich von Köhler, died there on May 24, 1727 as heir and court lord. He was buried on May 27th in the church in Priorau at the age of 75 years, 6 months and 4 days and the funeral sermon given to him appeared in print. He was the last of his sex and left no male heirs. The Priorau estate fell to the associated and related noble family from the Winckel . Regardless of this, the Palatinate-Bavarian state government and court chamber councilor Leonhard Magnus Köhler had four nobles confirmed in Sulzbach in 1790 that he was a descendant of the Saxon noble family von Köhler. In this way, he achieved registration in the nobility register of the Kingdom of Bavaria for himself and his descendants.
