Name bearers appear as ministerials in the wake of the Wittelsbachers . The oldest headquarters was Langenpreising , and the move to Kronwinkl Castle near Eching (Landshut district) , which is still owned by the family today , took place at an early stage.

As early as the second half of the 12th century, the Preysing held important court offices in the duchies of Upper and Lower Bavaria . In the first half of the 14th century you received the inheritance office for both areas.

The Cistercian abbey of Seligenthal was an important burial place for the family until the 17th century , where the family also had two abbesses . In the Frauenkirche in Munich there is a death shield of a Count von Preysing from the 19th century.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms is divided by two battlements of red and silver. The helmet covers are black and silver. The crest consists of a gold-crowned green parakeet with a red collar between two buffalo horns in silver and red, of which the right outside is studded with six black, the left with six silver clover leaves.

The helmet decoration is described in this way in a coat of arms of Emperor Maximilian I from 1497. However, the leaves are missing from many coats of arms. There is a multiple coat of arms, which takes up the original coat of arms in a crossing in two fields.
