history

Pedigree of the house Raus

The sex is part of the Swabian nobility and the same origin with the Reuss of Reussenstein from which it seceded in the early 15th century.

The common progenitor is Kizzinus senior de Kirchhain, who is documented in 1251 as a follower of Duke Ludwig von Teck .

Jacob Raus zu Halbwangen (1510–1580) is the common ancestor of all lines of the family that still exist today. He is mentioned in a document in 1554 as the owner of a court estate in Hallwangen (city of Dornstetten, Freudenstadt district), to which the Hallwanger mill, which still exists today, belonged.

Thomas Raus was confirmed in 1597 by Emperor Rudolf II that he was descended from the “old” nobility and was given the addition of “von Rausenbach”. Towards the end of the 16th century, the family split under his sons into two lines, a Bohemian and a Swabian.

Bohemian line

The progenitor of the Bohemian Line is Johann Raus. In 1735 Johann Ferdinand Raus von Rausenbach received the incolat in the lordship (Bohemia) from Emperor Karl VI and in 1755 the herbländisch-Austrian knighthood as Knight Raus von Rausenbach from Empress Maria Theresa . He was the owner of the castle and manor in Srutsch an der Sasau and Krasanovic in Bohemia. His daughter Maria Anna married Baron Wilhelm Mac Neven O'Kelly from Aghrim in 1750 . This line died out in the male line in 1767 with the death of Johann Ferdinand.

Swabian line

The progenitor of the Swabian, still flourishing line is Thomas Raus zu Hallwangen. From this line split off at the beginning of the 19th century the so-called Spanish line, which is also known as Casa (Spanish = house) de Rausenbach .

Johannes Raus , known as "de Baviera", the founder of the Spanish line of the house, came to Mexico via Madrid in 1820, where in 1822 he was appointed 1st Duque de Mérida and Príncipe Raus by Emperor Agustín I. After the dissolution of the Mexican Empire (1823) he carried the name " Duque de Rausenbach ", which is continued to this day according to primogeniture law in the male line of the House of Raus. In 1822, in addition to the establishment of a house law, a house order, the so-called Michelas order, was founded.

origin of the name

The family name, in its early form, first appears in a document on April 11, 1271 with Heinrich (Hainricus) and his brother Konrad (Cuno) who are referred to as milites scilicet Rischo . The original meaning of the name could be derived from the Middle High German word rische , which means as much as brisk, quick or lively and should therefore be understood as an epithet. From this the spelling Rüß (e) or Ruß (e) developed in the course of the 14th century, which then became Raus (s) towards the end of the 15th century. It should be noted here that the Reuss von Reussenstein line never actually spelled that way. It is an invention of the historians of the 19th century. The spelling of the name of this line had always been soot (e) up to the end of the 15th century and changed after 1478 to Reis (s) von Reisenstein and Reys (s) von Reys (s) enstein. From this point of view, the name spelling of this line has taken a completely untypical development in that the vowel "u" ​​was stretched to "ei" or "ey", which meant that there were two completely different spellings of the name in the same family: Out (s) or Reys (s). Apart from the differences in spelling, there is a phonetic similarity, especially when you consider that the vowel “u” in family names was often still spoken as “ü” towards the end of the 15th century.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms from the 13th century shows a gold-armored and tongued silver bear in red.

  • Coat of arms from 1597: In black, a slanting silver wave bar.

The bear does not appear in this coat of arms. Which can probably be traced back to the clerk's ignorance that there was already a coat of arms. Regardless of this, both coats of arms were used side by side for a long period of time. Over time, however, the bear shield was more and more displaced by the wave beam so that ultimately only this one was guided. Depending on the line, the shield was shown either in black or in blue.

  • Coat of arms from 1755: divided; Split at the top, in front in gold a growing black eagle armored in red, behind in black a red armored and crowned golden lion; below a slanting silver wave bar in blue.
  • Coat of arms from 1822: square, 1 and 4 in gold a black eagle, 2 and 3 in black a striding golden lion reinforced and crowned in red. Heart shield: a silver wave bar in blue.
