The Klotz family originally came from the bourgeoisie and came from the Vogtland and settled in Hesse , Mecklenburg and Brandenburg . The Saxon branch was raised to imperial nobility in 1785 , and some lines of the family still exist today.

history

The origins of the family can be traced back to Reichenbach in the Vogtlande , where Adam Klotz († 1612) was mayor in the 16th century. The reliable line of tribe begins with his son Augustin Klotz (1586–1636). In 1677 she came to Frankfurt am Main with the fairer Gottfried Klotz . Family members emerged particularly as politicians and scholars. Johann David Klotz (1700–1769) was an art dyer and citizen captain (district head) in Frankfurt. Johann Heinrich von Klotz (1708–1756) was senator of the free imperial city of Frankfurt am Main from 1752.

From Frankfurt, the family is divided into two branches: One spread to Mecklenburg and Brandenburg and produced numerous landowners and clergymen. Christian Ludwig Klotz (1735–1813) was a church councilor and instructor to Grand Duke Friedrich Franz I of Mecklenburg. Christian Karl Friedrich Klotz (1766–1846) was also a church councilor and provost. This line last sat on Prestin near Crivitz and on Gut Streckenthin near Pritzwalk until the expropriation in 1945 .

The second branch came to Saxony, where Heinrich Friedrich Maximilian von Klotz auf Biesig (today part of Reichenbach / OL ) was raised to the imperial nobility by Emperor Joseph II in 1785 . From the Saxon line a few members of the military, foresters and poets emerged.
