Koschembahr (noble family)
Koschembahr is the name of an ancient Silesian noble family that first appeared in a document in 1361 with Jeske Kossebor, a knight in the entourage of Duke Johann I von Troppau - Ratibor . Presumably Jacobus Kossebor, mentioned in Heinrichsauer Gründungsbuch and Codex diplomaticus Silesiae, XIV under June 7 and 19, 1304 , as well as Thymo von Koschebor auf Buchwaldsdorf, mentioned in a document in the Breslau diocesan archive on October 23, 1359, belong to this family .
The form of the name changed over the centuries between Cosebor, Kossebor, Koschebor and Koschen (m) bahr. Until the end of the 18th century, the family called themselves “von Koschenbar and Skorkau”, at times also “von Skorkowski”, after their ancestral seat in Skorkau in Upper Silesia .
The safe trunk line begins with Hans (Jan) Kossenbohr called Skorkowski, Lord on Skorkau and other goods. Around 1564 he was assessor of the land rights of the Principality of Opole .
coat of arms
The family carries a version of the Doliwa family coat of arms . The coat of arms shows a white diagonal bar in blue, which is covered with three five-petalled red roses. On the crowned helmet with red and silver covers between two buffalo horns divided by blue and silver across the corner, three red roses are arranged one on top of the other.
