history

Name and lines

The name Lochner is a common surname.

Epitaph of Christian Lochner in the castle church of Theuern

The genealogist Johann Gottfried Biedermann named a castle Loch and a village of the same name as the most original starting point of this family, which referred to itself here as von Loch . The later desolation of Loch was therefore between Wiesentfels and Freienfels on the Wiesent . The Lochner named themselves after Otto Hupp from the place Loch near the ruins of Hauseck, east of the former free imperial city of Nuremberg .

As a noble Franconian family, the Lochner appear in secondary lines with various additions to their names. The names Lochner von Loch , Lochner von Waischenfeld and Lochner von Winterstein are related to localities in Franconian Switzerland . From 1528 the Lochner owned Hüttenbach Castle in Hüttenbach (Simmelsdorf) and from 1519 to 1662/64 Winterstein Castle (now both in the municipality of Simmelsdorf ), northeast of Nuremberg, and accordingly called themselves Lochner von Hüttenbach . In the Nuremberg Chronicle of Johannes Müllner they are listed as vom Loch or Lochner . Hüttenbach was previously home to its own knightly family, which at the time the seat was transferred to that of Loch, mostly called Hüttenbeck (without von). Although Hüttenbach and Winterstein were sold to the Nuremberg patrician family Tucher in 1662 , the relatives continued to call themselves Lochner von Hüttenbach.

Of the families with the name Lochner who lived in Nuremberg, only the oldest had the same sign. Whether there was a relationship is questionable, as the family only had the coat of arms confirmed by the German King Sigismund in 1431 . This family included the Dr. jur. Johann Lochner († 1484), canon of Regensburg , provost of Forchheim and pastor and first provost of St. Sebald in Nuremberg, as well as his father of the same name († 1491), who was city doctor in Nuremberg in 1438 and was the first scholar to mention the city rise.

The Lochner von Theuern (also Deuert) and the Lochner von Lindach in the Amberg area emerged as lines from the Lochner von Hüttenbach. Another line, the Lochner von Palitz , had its starting point in Palitz, south of Eger , today a district of Lipová u Chebu .

Theuern hammer lock , built in 1780

In 1709 the Lochner zu Hüttenbach came into the possession of Theuern . Joseph Christian von Lochner (1714–1789) rose in the middle of the 18th century in the service of the Würzburg prince-bishop Friedrich Carl von Schönborn to the court and government councilor, in 1746 became Würzburg Truchseß and in 1757 a privy councilor. From 1780 he had the hammer castle Theuern built for his son Christian Ferdinand, Chamberlain and Privy Councilor of Würzburg. The hammer mill - a company for iron smelting and processing - was located outside the castle complex on the Vils.

In the Kingdom of Bavaria , the Lochner von Hüttenbach were registered in the baron class of nobility in 1814 . Christian Freiherr Lochner von Hüttenbach, captain of the III. Medical company, married Adelheid from the baronial Heusslein von Eußenheim family, which became extinct in 1870 . On January 19, 1871, he received permission from the King of Bavaria to combine the name and coat of arms of the Heusslein von Eußenheim with his own.

Possessions

Johann Georg Lochner von Hüttenbach was married to Maria Sophia Johanna von Sparneck , who in 1709 inherited half of the Trausnitz Castle in the valley . After a dispute with the co-heirs, Trausnitz was sold in 1714.

Because of their possessions, the family was organized in the knight canton of Gebürg . In 1714 they acquired the Riegelstein castle ruins . Johann Christoph Ludwig Lochner von Hüttenbach acquired the Lindenberg manor near Kasendorf in 1730 . At the end of the 18th century, the family belonged to the knightly canton of Rhön-Werra in the Franconian knightly circle because of the ownership or partial ownership of Querbachshof ( Hohenroth ) and Rödelmaier . Members of the family were probably also enrolled in the canton of Steigerwald .

coat of arms

A silver bar in a shield split by red and blue . On the helmet with red and gold covers, two buffalo horns, red and blue, each covered with a silver bar. Variants of the coat of arms for the different lines introduce pairs of symbols on the bar. Some coats of arms are colored squared instead of just split. Dr. Due to the similarities of the coat of arms, Bernhard Peter assumes a tribal relationship between the Lochner and the Gross von Trockau and Pfersfeldern .
