Markus Christoph Koch von Gailenbach on a portrait by Johann Elias Haid

Markus Christoph Koch von Gailenbach , also Marx Christoph Koch von Gailenbach (* 1699 , † 1768 ) was an imperial councilor and imperial bailiff of Augsburg .

He came from a 1654 by Emperor Ferdinand III. ennobled ("Koch von Gailenbach") and accepted into the Augsburg patriciate family, who had their seat at Gailenbach Castle in Edenbergen . His father was Johann Christoph Koch von Gailenbach (* 1653 or 1654; † 1717), his mother Susanne Helene von Scheidlin (* 1666; † 1746).

From 1729 Markus Christoph was a member of the council and from 1751/52 until his death Stadtpfleger of Augsburg, which today corresponds to the title of mayor . Immediately after taking office, he and his wife Christine Katharina, née Schnurbein (marriage: February 17, 1730) donated 2,000 guilders for charitable purposes. Half of this was intended to benefit the Salzburg exiles , Protestant religious refugees from the Prince Archbishopric of Salzburg , who had to leave their homeland due to an expulsion decree of 1731. In the same year Markus Christoph was jointly responsible for the repair of the Merkur fountain in Augsburg, for which he was immortalized in an inscription on the fountain.

After his death without male descendants in 1768, the castle and the associated Gailenbach estate were assigned to his sister Susanna Helena († 1771), now a widow from Paris , who was unable to inherit as it was an Austrian male fief. However, she was able to achieve that her son Johann Christoph Sigmund was enfeoffed and so came into the possession of Gailenbach in 1771 with the associated title of nobility ("from and to Gailenbach").
