history
In the Teutonic Order and Duchy
According to the Komturbuch des Truchsess Niotze von Oslanin, Simon von Ostichau was enfeoffed with Oslanin in 1369. Rüdiger von Ostischau, son or grandson of the above, was Commander of the Teutonic Order in Nessau (Nassaw) 1382-1388, a double position. On the one hand he was the highest official of the order castle and the next chairman of the house convention, on the other hand administrator of the district assigned to his order castle, which corresponded to the position of a later district administrator .
After that there must have been a separation into two lines, whereby even the coats of arms were led differently.
From Prussia to Bohemia and Moravia
On April 2, 1600, a sessione extraordinaria of the Hohenstein Regional Court took place in Königsberg , in which Niklas von Ostischau from the house of Seelesen ( Żelazno ), who had moved to Bohemia and Moravia and settled in the latter country, carried out a nobility trial . He needed a certificate to be recognized as a nobleman and to be accepted into the knight's matriculation. On the one hand, he demonstrated the privileges and rights for his ancestral estate Seelesen as a manor and the mention of his ancestor with the predicates and prerogatives of a nobleman, on the other hand, he placed eight painted heraldic shields , which are described in the patent with the colors very precisely, with information the relationship of the coats of arms , which proved his nobility and his ancestry. Twelve colleagues brought with them recognized the coats of arms and “acknowledged them without the coats of arms belonging to all of them”. It was only said of his two biological cousins Caspar and Andreas von Ostischau that they had sworn and confessed to their own coat of arms - also that of the producer - "as their army shield, just like the other shields that followed". The whole to Konigsberg , drawn up on 22 April 1600 on behalf of the Duke and of the upper councils signed certificate is not the protocol contained about the District Court as an advertisement, but gave the summary of the witness hearing and the crest description in your own tenor at.
In Moravia
Andreas von Osteschau auf Teichowitz († 1649/1650), probably the above-mentioned Niklas cousin or son, was elected from the knighthood of the Znojmo district in 1629 among the commissaries who were supposed to work on a better contribution system ( printed state parliament closing 1629 ). In 1629 he bought the Taikowitz estate in the Znojmo district from Count Nachod for 40,000 Moravian guilders and in 1637 the Mislibořitz ( Myslibořice ) estate in this district for 21,000 Rhenish guilders . Later on, the nobleman also came very often to estate commissions, was also the Imperial Landtag commissioner, was appointed by the Olomouc Bishop Cardinal Franz Seraph von Dietrichstein , who was also Governor of Moravia, in 1633 as one of the commissioners for taking over the land, was imperial councilor and land rights assessor 1642 District Chief of the Znojmo District. Because of his functions as imperial councilor and district chief in the Znojmo district, he was appointed by Emperor Ferdinand III. on May 5, 1642 in Vienna raised to the baron status.
Andreas' sons Niklas Hynek (Ignaz) and Johann Georg shared the estate in an inheritance from 1651: Niklas Hynek received Mislibořitz, Johann Georg Teichowitz. In July 1661, Niklas Hynek, captain of the Znojmo district, and his wife Lukretia Countess von Werdenburg, whom he married on March 15, 1653, bought Neu Serowitz ( Nové Syrovice ) from Ernst Vollmar Freiherr von Schaumburg. After Lucretia's death, her heirs shared the legacy on September 26, 1682, so that the older daughter Anna Franziska, married von Ginger, the Mislibořitz and Ratkowitz estates worth 44,000 florins, Maria Katharina Freiin von Kunitz, née von Osteschau, Neu Serowitz and Krutschitz, worth 40,000 florins, took over. A legal dispute, which the next heir from intestato , Andreas Christoph Freiherr von Osteschau, raised because of the property, ended on January 7, 1690 with both Serowitz and Mislibořitz being awarded to him. He ceded the former to his only son Franz Karl Joseph on March 10, 1709.
Franz Karl Joseph, imperial councilor and landowner in Moravia, was appointed by Emperor Karl VI. on August 16, 1719 raised to the rank of count in Vienna. He was married to Katharina Eva Freiin Sack von Bohuniowitz. He bequeathed Serowitz, Mislibořitz, Jatschkau, Krutschitz and Radkowitz willingly on July 22, 1742 to his sons Kaspar and Filipp. In 1782 the last man of the Count von Osteschau family and his 5 female heirs, Maria Franziska widowed Freiin von Zillern, Maria Anna von Retz, Maria Barbara widowed Freiin von Eiselsberg, Maria Katharina Countess von Braida (born October 28, 1729 in Brno ; † 1788 in Ratschitz ) and Maria Antonia Freiin von Locella (born October 13, 1730), all born Countesses of Osteschau, sold Neu Serowitz on November 1, 1783 for 120,000 Rhenish guilders to Count Johann von Nimptsch .
The heirs of Anton Freiherr von Pugnetti sold Weiss-Ölhütten ( Bílá Lhota ) in 1782 for 28,000 florins to Katharina Countess von Braida. Their daughters inherited their estates in 1788. Katharina's daughter Maria Anna (1750–1793), wife of Maximilian Freiherrn Putz von Rolsberg (1739–1797), inherited Weiss-Ölhütten. This property belonged to the Rolsberg family until 1945. The remaining goods were all sold by the other female members of the house over time.
