Keller (noble family)
Keller is the name of an old family from Swabia ( letter nobility ). Members were in the service of the imperial city of Esslingen , the dukes of Württemberg and the dukes of Saxe-Gotha-Altenburg , the emperors of the Russian Empire , the kings of Prussia and the kings of Saxony . Its main seat since the 18th century was Stedten Castle near Erfurt .
history
In 1229, Olricus de Cella is mentioned, whom the family considers to be their ancestor. It follows in 1247 Heinricus de Cella , who appears as a knight in Ulm in 1247 . Albertus de Cella , possibly his son, was in the entourage of the Duke of Teck from 1268–1278 . Ulrich II, de Cella, mentioned 1268–1291, was again a councilor and judge in Eßlingen. Albrecht der Celler was a guild master and judge in Eßlingen in 1291 .
The GHdA-Adelslexikon describes that the further ancestry goes back to Heinrich den Kelner, winery owner near Eßlingen. The officially secure trunk series begins with Georg (Jörg) Keller, Mayor of Stuttgart.

coat of arms
The 1595 the Esslingen council and court relatives Alexander III. The coat of arms awarded to Keller shows a red shield with an iron-colored key turned upwards at an angle to the left , the beard swept over itself. On the stech helmet with red and silver blankets a growing man in red, holding up a key in each hand, on his head a silver-topped red heather hat with a gold tassel.
The family coat of arms , as it was already used in his seal before 1667 by Johann Heinrich Keller (1622–1693), duchy of Württemberg bailiff of Gochsheim 1667, Vogt of Laufen 1668 ff. , Shows three (2: 1) eagle heads . One of the eagle heads growing on the crowned sting helmet. Portraits of Johann Heinrich and his brother Matthäus have survived, an oil painting of the former; by Mathäus Keller an engraving by Jacob von Sandrart after a lost painting by Rudolf Werenfels . Matthäus Keller in Nuremberg, born in Siebmacher's coat of arms, was born. 1620, probably identical to Matthew (d. 1661). He had three (2: 1) griffin heads (eagle heads with ears) in the coat of arms , a griffin head growing on the helmet. Incidentally, on the copper engraving mentioned, the coat of arms is drawn with eagles' heads (i.e. without ears). He was the stepfather of the pharmacist and philosopher Johann Leonhard Stöberlein (1636–1696), who after Matthäus Keller's death in Nuremberg continued his pharmacy to the golden jug under the haters .
John Henry's son, the lieutenant-colonel and commander of Hohentübingen Friedrich Heinrich Keller (1653-1738), had, most recently as Obervogt and bailiff to Merklingen , the parent coat of arms in its seal multiplied out, namely, by the free spaces between the eagle heads with three ( 1: 2) stars were filled. In addition, his coat of arms was crowned with a count's crown with nine visible pearls; To which his grandson Christoph von Keller (1757-1827) was authorized under nobility law after his elevation to the Prussian count status in 1789 .
The noble coat of arms (since the grandchildren of Johann Heinrich (1622–1693)) then shows, since 1737 (already increased again), a shield divided blue over red, with three (2: 1) black, gold-armored eagle heads on top, accompanied by three (1: 2) gold stars, and below a resting, looking silver lion on a green lawn. Shield holders of the count's coat of arms (since 1789) are a black eagle and a silver lion.
