In 1795, Emperor Franz II granted the dignity of Count to Johann Baptist Freiherr Pilati with the extended title “from Thassul zu Daxberg”.

The most famous member of the Pilati family is Carlo Antonio Pilati (Tassullo 1733–1802), governor of Trento, lawyer and professor in Halle and Leipzig, philosopher of the Enlightenment, member of the Bavarian Illuminati (nom de guerre: Lucretius Caro). He wrote the following works: Di una riforma d'Italia, Lettres sur l'Hollande, Letters from Berlin, Plan d'une Législation criminelle .

Count Oskar (born May 13, 1817), son of Count Anton, who died in 1834, was the heir of the Schlegel feudal lordship in the County of Glatz and was not married. His brother Maximilian (* 1819) had given up his nobility. A son of this Maximilian, Eustachius (born September 20, 1870) is the author of the etiquette and etiquette of manners, published in 1900, “Labels Chatting”.

The family owned the (partly) eponymous Dachsberg Castle in ( Prambachkirchen / Upper Austria ) from 1775 to 1827 , and today there is a grammar school run by the Salesian Order there . By inheritance from Prince Khevenhüller , the Lower Austrian Riegersburg Castle and the nearby Hardegg Castle have been owned by the Count Pilati since the 20th century .

Edmund Johann Niemela from Ratibor had fought as a royal Prussian captain in the First World War, first in the infantry regiment King Wilhelm I (6th Württembergisches) No. 124, then later in the infantry regiment No. 183 and was last as a result of the army reduction by the Versailles Contract as captain dismissed from service.

Already on New Year's Eve 1920 he received authorization to use the simplified name Graf von Thassul zu Daxberg at his own request .
