Schleinitz (noble family)
Schleinitz is a Meißnisches nobility family , from which (according to Balbins sources not proven information) the royal Bohemian cupbearer Ulrich von Slynicz is said to have belonged to the Bohemian gentry as early as 1184. The main seat that gave it its name was the Schleinitz moated castle in the municipality of Leuben-Schleinitz near Meißen .

His two sons are Heinrich, at Hohnstein Castle (* around 1450; † 14 February 1518), Obermarschall in Meißen and Hugold (the younger), at Schleinitz Castle (* around 1455; † around 1512). The Schleinitz headquarters remained in the family's possession until 1594, when Abraham von Schleinitz bequeathed it to his daughter Maria and her husband Christoph von Loß (1574–1620) .
