The family was originally a Rothenburg patrician family . Augustin Lösch (* 1471 ; † 1535 ) was Chancellor of the Bavarian Duke Wilhelm IV. In 1517 he acquired the Hofmark Hilgertshausen for 5518 Rhenish guilders. His sons were Leo Lösch von Hilkertshausen (–1559), 49th Bishop of Freising and Wilhelm Lösch von Hilkertshausen the Elder . Ä. (1518–1572), Bavarian councilor. The Lösch were raised to barons in 1653 . The Hofmark Stein an der Traun came into the possession of the barons of Lösch through marriage through the daughter of Count Carl Fugger von Kirchberg and Weißenhorn. 1790 Max Joseph was extinguishing the elector and imperial vicar Karl Theodor von Pfalz-Bayern in the imperial counts charged. Due to financial problems as a result of the turmoil of the Napoleonic era, the Counts of Lösch were forced to transfer the Hofmark Hilgertshausen (with Hirschenhausen) to the barons of Freyberg on Jetzendorf in 1813 and to the baron Maximilian Joseph in 1829 from Gut and Schloss Stein an der Traun von Käser (1800–1849) for sale.
