history
The family was first mentioned in a document with Nicolaus von der Lochau on November 11, 1445.
Whether the Peter Lochau named after Kneschke, who was bailiff of Upper Lusatia at the beginning of the 14th century , and the general commissioner of the Cistercians Martin Lochau († 1522) belonged to the family described requires verification.
Viktor Albrecht von der Lochau was enrolled in the aristocratic class of the Bavarian knighthood on September 7, 1813 .
Individual members of the sex used the title of baron without objection .
The von der Lochau family of knights has been owned by Rehsen since 1495, and Gohrau also belonged to their aristocratic possession until 1711 and 1726 . Johann Balthasar von Tießel und Taltitz sold his Kromlau estate in the Duchy of Sagan to Ludwig August von der Lochau before November 1707. Until September 1728 the manor Schköna belonged to Friedrich Amandus von der Lochau. Viktor Freiherr von der Lochau took over the rule of Rettenberg to full ownership on November 6, 1798 .
In the village church of Niederglaucha, municipality of Zschepplin , there is a grave plate (1817) with the inscription: Carl Ernst von der Lochau, Royal Saxon Privy Councilor and his sons , on the wall in the western area of the churchyard .
