Ludwigstorff
Ludwigstorff was a high nobility from Austria .
history
The family's history dates back to the 15th century in Holland , where they came from. The Ludwigstorff were originally called Katzy. Johann Katzy, Latinized Katzius, doctor of medicine, in imperial service, was raised to the nobility in 1589 by Emperor Rudolf II. Rudolf Katzy, the grandfather of Johann Rudolf, received confirmation of his nobility and an improvement in the coat of arms from Emperor Ferdinand II in 1632. Father Karl Rudolf Katzy and son Johann Rudolf were both sovereign officials, namely as regimental councilors of the Regiment of the Lower Austrian Lands, the later Lower Austrian Lieutenancy. Karl Rudolf Katzy was raised to the rank of imperial knighthood by Emperor Leopold I in 1697 with the predicate " Edler von Ludwigstorff" and in 1699 was accepted into the new line of knighthood in Lower Austria . He advised to erect the famous plague column in Vienna on the Graben. Johann Rudolph von Ludwigsdorf, the buyer of the Guntersdorf estate, worked as a secretary in the Lower Austrian regiment from 1686, was promoted to the regimental council in 1700 and received the Hungarian baron diploma on January 16, 1703 . On June 28, 1710 he obtained the hereditary Austrian baron diploma with the title of barons von Goldlamp, gentlemen of Deutsch-Altenburg , Wankheim, Steinabrunn and Prellenkirchen for himself and his descendants . In 1712 he was transferred to the old families of the Lower Austrian knighthood.
Anton Ludwigstorff, who did outstanding work for Deutsch Altenburg, was raised to the rank of count in 1910 . As one of 64 noble families, the family had a hereditary seat in the manor house , the upper house of the Austrian Imperial Council . With the death of Maria Ludwigstorff, the count became extinct, which, like the other nobility titles and nobility predicates, became obsolete with the nobility annulment law of 1919.
After Carl Hugo Ludwigstorff died in 1990, his grandson Dominik Ludwigstorff took over the property and became head of the family. He is married to a born Kinsky .
