Coat of arms of the von Pausinger family (Bavarian nobility 1816).

Pausinger is the name of a family that still exists today and has owned several castles in Upper Austria since the early 19th century . In 1816 the sex was raised to the Bavarian nobility, in 1857 the nobility was recognized in Austria. The best-known representative was the landscape and animal painter Franz Xaver von Pausinger (1839–1915).

history

When the western part of Upper Austria temporarily came under Bavarian sovereignty as a result of the Napoleonic wars from 1810 to 1816, Joseph Johann Reichsgraf von Khevenhüller-Frankenburg (1768–1819) sold his Kogl and Frankenburg estates with Frein Castle in 1810 , which were now on Bavarian territory , to the Viennese lawyer Dr. Andreas Pausinger (1765-1818). He also acquired the lords of Ungenach and Unterach am Attersee from Khevenhüller . Shortly thereafter, Pausinger was appointed Imperial Court and Court Counsel and in 1816 was raised to hereditary nobility by King Maximilian I Joseph of Bavaria . The matriculation in the aristocratic class of the Bavarian aristocratic registers also took place in 1816.

After the death of Dr. Andreas von Pausingers' possessions in Frankenburg, Kogl, Ungenach and Unterach were divided between his wife Susanna and the three children Franz (1794-1850), Karl (1795-1848) and Elisabeth. The first-born received Frankenburg, which he sold to his brother Karl in 1828, who also bought the remaining shares until 1834 and thus became the sole owner of the lordship. Frein Castle in Frankenburg was owned by the von Pausinger family from 1810 to 1848. After the death of Karl von Pausinger in 1848, the property was divided between his children Karl Valentin, Felix and Julia. Karl Valentin von Pausinger sold the Frankenburg estate to Franz Schaupp in 1849 and then lived mostly in Munich , while his brother Felix later lived mainly in Carinthia and sold the Kogl and Unterach estate to the industrialist Franz Mayr von Melnhof in 1872 . He gave Kogl Castle to his daughter Theodora in 1884 for her wedding to Count Adalbert Kottulinsky .

Felix von Pausinger (1824-1893) received the Austrian recognition of his Bavarian nobility in 1857, whereby the family coat of arms had to be changed significantly, as the red-white-red shield of Pausinger resembled the Austrian national coat of arms . With regard to the other descendants of Karl von Pausinger (1795–1848), “with the highest resolution of November 3, 1867 […] his widow, or perhaps his son of the same name, and the children from this marriage […] were allowed to join the Bavarian nobility in Austria in the capacity of a foreigner to prevail ” .

After the end of the monarchy in Austria-Hungary , the parliament of the Republic of German-Austria decided on April 3, 1919, to abolish the nobility. As a result of this Nobility Repeal Act , the members of this family living in Austria also lost the right to use their titles, so that their family name became “Pausinger” without the prefix “von”.

When he was raised to the Bavarian nobility, Dr. Andreas Pausinger was also awarded a family coat of arms in 1816, namely a red-white-red shield . On the shield is a noble tournament helmet with a golden gem, a helmet crown and red and silver helmet covers. The crest consists of two growing buffalo horns, tinged like the shield image, each of which has a natural peacock bump in its openings .

The coat of arms of the Babenbergs with shield and peacock bump

When Felix von Pausinger (1824-1893) asked for recognition of his Bavarian nobility in Austria, the Imperial and Royal Interior Ministry vehemently insisted on changing his family coat of arms, as it was identical to the Austrian national coat of arms and the use of the red-white-red shield was the first In 1816, Pausinger ennobled, so to speak, on a protocol level with the Austrian rulers from the House of Habsburg and the Babenbergs . While the Reichsheroldenamt, responsible for questions of aristocracy, rank and coat of arms in the Kingdom of Bavaria , had no objection to the design of the Pausinger family coat of arms in 1816, the Austrian authorities only accepted this after a curved blue tip with three golden horns had been added the red-white-red shield was no longer the only coat of arms. The tinging of the helmet covers and that of the buffalo horns also had to be changed. According to the Austrian nobility diploma ddo. Vienna, March 29, 1857 , the blazon of the redesigned coat of arms of the von Pausinger family reads: In a shield crosswise divided by Roth over silver, an upright, curved blue tip, in which three (1 over 2) golden hip horns are placed on entangled golden cords and bell-shaped horns turned to the right . A crowned tournament helmet rests on the shield. The crown bears two horns, turned one against the other and each set in their mouths with a peacock mirror, of which the right is divided transversely by gold and blue, the left by red and silver. The helmet covers are blue with gold on the right, red with silver on the left. The three hip horns can be interpreted as references to the market coat of arms of Frankenburg and to the three children of Karl von Pausinger (1795–1848).
