Riederer von Paar is the name of an old Bavarian noble family . Branches of the family still exist today.

history

The family originally comes from the Danube Ried . One of the first important members of the family was Johann Riederer , Canon of Regensburg , who appeared in a document from 1368 . The uninterrupted line of trunks begins with Eberhard Riederer zu Riedheim , Duke Bavarian Landrichter and Vogt zu Aichach and Dachau .

During the 15th century, members of the sex gained great political influence and high offices. Another Ulrich Riederer , Provost of the Cathedral in Freising , was Chancellor of Emperor Friedrich III. He was murdered in 1462 by the revolting Viennese population. Michael Riederer († 1472), Provost of the Cathedral in Regensburg, was chancellor of the rich dukes Heinrich and Ludwig of Bavaria. His brother Sixt Riederer was councilor for Duke Ludwig the Bearded of Bavaria-Ingolstadt and headed several embassies to the imperial court in Vienna.

Ancestral seat of the family was the rule pair , where Michael Riederer built a castle . The property, however, had to be sold in 1563, but has remained significant to this day. In the second half of the 17th century the family found a new and permanent home in Schönau near Eggenfelden in Lower Bavaria .

The first Riederer on Schönau, the Bavarian Truchsess Georg Sigmund, was raised to the Bavarian baron status on February 16, 1692 under the name Riederer von Paar zu Schönau . His progeny are still in flower today. However, the line of his cousin Johann Wiguleus Riederer von Paar zu Pillham , baronial since March 14, 1692, has expired.
