List of German noble families
This list only includes aristocratic families in the German-speaking area ( Germany , Austria , Switzerland , German Bohemia and German Moravians and - in some cases - Poland and Italy ) that are already included in the German-language Wikipedia. Foreign genders who do not belong in the German-speaking area or in the Holy Roman Empire are not recorded here. Genders not included in the German-language Wikipedia are also not included. If aristocratic families are added to Wikipedia, this should also be done here.
The list contains the name of the sex (without title of nobility ), the period of its existence as well as notes on origin, local distribution, elevations of rank and the coat of arms .
