Pincier

Pincier is the name of a family of scholars originally from Hesse and the noble family descended from them.

history

The family comes from the Hessian Wetter and was mainly known here in the 16th century through the theologian Johann Pincier (1521–1591). A physician of the same name (1556–1624) became professor and rector of the University of Marburg .

At least two family members came to northern Germany towards the end of the 16th century. The lawyer Ludwig Pincier founded the Lübeck branch, from which several generations of lawyers emerged who were in the service of ducal-godfathers and royal Danish. At the same time a Johann Pincier came to teach the children of Duke Johann Adolf and was a stallion in Nordstrand in 1616 .

coat of arms

Description of the civic coat of arms on the epitaph of Ludwig Pincier from 1618 in Lübeck Cathedral : "A stork standing in the Röricht with a snake in its beak, the same bird sitting on the spangenhelm and flying up."

The noble coat of arms of Elisabeth von Pinicier, wife of Magnus von Wedderkop , on the common burial chapel in Lübeck Cathedral is a further development: “In the blue field a striding stork with a crowned snake in its beak; the same bird soaring on the crowned Spangenhelm. "

When describing the coat of arms on Königsteinschen Haubarg, Christian Jensen misinterpreted the snake as an eel : a stork with an eel in its beak, above a crown.
