The Pflachern family, which after their possession also led to the ratings to Oberbergham (after the castle in Plötzenedt near Ottnang am Hausruck ) and to Schörgern (after the castle near Andorf ), derives their original origin from Tyrol. Her ancestor Julius Pflacher received the imperial nobility from the Roman-German king and later Emperor Ferdinand I on January 10, 1532 in Prague as an imperial silver warden. The family came to the northern Innviertel in 1699, when Johann Baptist von Pflachern († 1742) bought the Schörgern estate from the widow of previous owner Georg Ferdinand von Maur, who had died the year before. One year after the acquisition of Schörgern, Johann Baptist von Pflachern asked for a confirmation of nobility, which was granted to him by Emperor Leopold I on the basis of the diploma of 1532 dated Vienna September 5, 1700 together with the privilegium denominandi .

Johann Baptist von Pflachern left two sons: Johann Wolfgang († 1767) and Ferdinand Rudolf I († 1783). Johann Wolfgang succeeded his father in 1743 as the owner of Schörgern Castle. Ferdinand Rudolf I was born in 1761 by Elector Maximilian III. Joseph of Bavaria was given the status of baron including the improvement of the coat of arms . Johann Wolfgang von Pflachern left no heirs, while Ferdinand Rudolf I left behind at least two sons, Franz Xaver († 1813) and Ferdinand Rudolf II († 1814). After the death of his father, Franz Xaver Freiherr von Pflachern received Hackenbuch Castle near St. Marienkirchen , Ferdinand Rudolf II. Freiherr von Pflachern received the Meierhof of the Passau cathedral chapter in Andorf , which they had received first as a fiefdom in 1740 and finally as inheritance rights in 1783, and Schörgern . In 1779 the Innviertel came to the Habsburgs after the Treaty of Teschen . Since then it no longer belonged to the Burghausen Rent Office , but to Austria ob der Enns . The Bavarian barons von Pflachern came under Austrian sovereignty with their property in the Innviertel. On April 10, 1813, the children of Ferdinand Rudolf I were registered in the baron class of the Bavarian aristocratic registers. After the death of his childless brother Franz Xaver, Ferdinand Rudolf II also became the owner of Hackenbuch Castle. After his death, the property fell to his son Ferdinand Rudolf III. († 1853). He sold Andorf, but left the rest of the estate as heir to his daughter Caroline Josepha, who was married to Colonel Rudolf Ertl von Seeau, who was ennobled in 1870. She died in 1881 as the last of the branch in the Innviertel in the spa town of Franzensbad in Bohemia.

Numerous marriages took place with the von Hackledt family . A Baron Pfacher is named as a participant in the war against Italy 1813-1814 or the Third Reserve Division is commanded by Franz Freiherr von Pflacher (* October 12, 1745, † November 5, 1815).

In addition to the Bavarian line, there was also an (Upper) Austrian branch of the Pflachers, which was based at Oberbergham Castle in Plötzenedt near Ottnang am Hausruck. This line did not become a baron, but was wealthy in the Hausruckviertel, where the Pflachers appear in Zell am Pettenfirst , Atzbach , Ottnang and Grünbach . In 1727 Franz Matthias von Pflachern zu Oberbergham is named after the moated castles of Eggendorf and Weitersdorf in the Traunkreis. Other properties belonged to the Upper Austrian Pflachers in Achleiten near Linz in 1766, in Seeling near St. Georgen im Attergau in 1769 , and in Irnharting at the beginning of the 19th century . The Upper Austrian line of the family still exists today, for example Eleonore [von] Pflacher (1910–2002) worked as a businesswoman in Ried im Innkreis .
