The first recorded line of the Poschinger served the prince-bishops of Passau as ministerials . It begins with Rapoto de Paskengen in 1140, who is mentioned as a witness to a donation to the Augustinian Canons of Aldersbach . Further lines existed at Posching (in the area around Mitterfels , Metten , Deggendorf and later also in Pförring near Ingolstadt ), at the Sicklasberg headquarters near Konzell and as a councilor in Straubing . The name Poschinger (often also written Paskengen , Paschingen , Baskingin or Posching ) probably comes from the Posching estate , which belonged to the bishops of Passau.

The line of the family, which has not been broken up to the present day, begins with Joachim Poschinger from Pförring (1523–1599), who belonged to the Lutheran faith and who is part of the Posching line that began around 1262. After studying law and music at the University of Ingolstadt , he was a judge and caretaker in the service of the Barons von Degenberg at the castles Linden near Viechtach and Neunussberg (1550–1568) and in 1568 bought the Zwieselau glassworks from the Degenbergers ( Regen district ) in the Bavarian Forest . The Poschinger tradition as glassworks and landlords , which continues to this day, begins . Joachim received his imperial coat of arms on October 19, 1547 in Regensburg from Petrus Apianus , Count of the Court Palatinate under Emperor Karl V. In 1592, his son Paulus acquired the Oberfrauenau glassworks in the Bavarian Forest, from then on the seat of the lineage.

Due to the possession of Oberanzenberg (from 1639) Wilhelm Poschinger was accepted by Elector Maximilian on December 18, 1643 under the Upper Palatinate Landsassen . From this point on, the gender was recognized as aristocratic in the Upper Palatinate and listed in the registers of the aristocratic country residents.
