After the Raitz von Frentz, the family is the second oldest surviving family of the Cologne patriciate , which can be traced for the first time with the patrician Rupert Schall (Schallo, Schallin) at Neumarkt in Cologne (documented around 1150 to 1200). When Albert Schall , who was wealthy in Sinsteden and Horbell near Cologne, married the noble Christine von Holte before 1282, the Schall married dynastically . Son Johannes (* around 1246; † before 1291) was married to Engilradis, a daughter of the Cologne patrician Gottschalk Overstolz . The secure line of trunks begins with the knight Heinrich Schall von Horbell , documented from 1350 to 1361, dead in 1381, who was wealthy in Horbell.

Johann, † before 1503, on Bell and Lüftelberg near Cologne, was married to Margaretha, daughter of Daniel von Aldenrath on Vochem . Both grandson Wilhelm was enfeoffed with Mülheim and Flerzheim in 1550, succeeding his father Heinrich .

Max Damian Schall von Bell (* 1681; † 1741), on Mülheim, appears as a baron in a document. His son was Ferdinand Graf Schall von Bell , † 1783, who had received the imperial and Bavarian counts in 1745 as the electoral Palatinate Real Privy Councilor and Bergischer Landhofmeister . He was the landowner of Wahn , Haaren , Machacen and Schönrath .

In 1777 , Ferdinand's son Karl Theodor Graf Schall von Bell (* 1747, † 1832), ambassador to the Electorate of Saxony , married the daughter of Count Andreas von Riaucour , the royal Polish-Elector of Saxony envoy to the Electorate of the Palatinate court, later Minister of Conference. According to an inheritance regulation from 1770, which came into force in 1794, the family members call themselves Graf and Countess Schall-Riaucour . Through this marriage with Henriette Countess von Riaucour (* 1760, † 1831), the Schall von Bell came to Upper Lusatia (Gut Gaussig with Rodewitz / Spree and Rittergut Putzkau ). After World War II the family was in a transit camp on Rugen deported, the goods were in 1945 expropriated. The members of the family moved to Bavaria and the Rhineland.

In 1974 Haus Vorhelm in Westphalia came from Count Droste zu Vischering to Count Schall-Riaucour.
