Koler from Neunhof
The Koler von Neunhof were a patrician family from Nuremberg who were probably ministerials before that . It was first mentioned in a document in 1246. They went out in 1688.
A sideline of the Koler were the forest masters, who can be proven in 1243-1371. In the 13th and 14th centuries you were the owner of the forester's office in the Lorenzer Reichswald , which is located near Nuremberg. That is why they appeared several times as "Koler, called the forester".
Erkenbrecht Koler was in the "Inner Council" of the city of Nuremberg from 1319/23 and from 1340. As early as the end of the 14th century, the trading company run by Stefan Koler and his father-in-law Heinrich Füchsel had a chamber of commerce in the Fondaco dei Tedeschi in Venice. Stefan was the most important representative of the Koler family. He worked as a financier for King Sigismund and the Nuremberg burgraves . Together with Erhard Schürstab, he negotiated with Pope Martin V in 1424 his consent for the imperial regalia to remain and for the sanctuary to be sent to Nuremberg. He had also prepared the purchase of the Burggrafenburg in 1427 diplomatically. He died in 1435.
The Koler family owned large estates around Erlangen and Altdorf . In 1582 she acquired her eponymous manor in Neunhof near Lauf an der Pegnitz , as a co-owner of the Geuder. In 1688, after the death of the last male family member Georg Seifried Koler, the Koler half of Neunhof fell to his daughter Helene Juliana Jacobine, who was married to Johann Michael Welser .
In 1594 the Koler also bought Neunhof Castle near Kraftshof and in 1660 today's Zeltner Castle in Gleißhammer . In 1615 Neunhof fell to the Kressenstein family through marriage . In 1685, the tented castle came to Johann Joachim gutenel .
In 1688 the Koler became extinct in the male line. In Zerzabelshof , Kolerstrasse and Forstmeisterstrasse are a reminder of the family.
