Perfall (noble family)
Perfall is the name of an old Bavarian noble family . The headquarters of the Lords of Perfall was the Perfall estate of the same name in Ahamer Moos near Wasserburg am Inn . Branches of the family still exist today.
history
The family first appears in a document in 1355 with Ulrich the Pervaller . At first the relatives only called themselves the Perfaller . During the 14th, 15th and 16th centuries it was quite common in the southern German nobility to use the name of origin as an adjective instead of using the predicate of .
Benedikt Perfaller appears in Wasserburg in 1422 and Erhard der Perfaller acquired the Greifenberg estate near the Ammersee with a castle from the property of the Bavarian dukes in 1478 , which his descendants made Fideikommiss in the 19th century . Other gentlemen , such as Pehl, Schenkenau and Freienhausen, came into the family ownership over time. However, like the original headquarters in Perfall, they were soon lost through inheritance in a female line or through sale.
The sex produced important members who were mainly in Bavarian court and military service. The family has been a baron since 1685, conferring it to Johann Ferdinand von Perfall from the Bavarian region .
