origin
The Schrenck have the same coat of arms as the Ridler and Ligsalz families, who also come from the Munich patriciate , but with different crests . However, it is not clear whether they also have a common origin. According to tradition, the coat of arms cooperative is said to have come from an old Schrenck who married his two daughters to a Ridler and a league salt.
The family is mentioned for the first time in 1269. The uninterrupted family line begins with Perhtolt Schrench (Berchtold Schrenck), who is mentioned in documents from 1295 to 1297. He was a citizen, merchant and member of the Munich City Council. In 1308 the Drächsel and the Schrenck of the customs were prescribed at the upper and lower gate of Munich.
Spread and lines
The family founded two lines early on, named after their headquarters in Notzing and Egmating . After Kneschke , the progenitor Berchtold Schrenck was the first owner of the Notzing parent company. He is said to have been a son of Triphon Schrenck, court servant of Landgrave Eckhart of Thuringia. Berchtold married Thekla, a daughter of the old Munich patrician family of the Khrai. Nicolaus, a descendant of this marriage, acquired the Hofmark Egmating in 1290 by marrying Gertraut Impler , who also came from an old noble family in Munich . According to the Genealogical Handbook of the Nobility , Notzing came into the possession of the family in 1380.
Lorenz (I.) Schrenck was field captain in the battle of Alling in 1422 . His son Lorenz (II.) Was field captain of the Poles when they stormed Marienburg in 1457 in East Prussia . During the siege there was an argument between him and the Polish gentleman Nikolaus Zarnotzky. This refused him the duel because he did not know whether Lorenz was of noble descent. Duke Albrecht III. Lorenz then confirmed that he was a Bavarian knight and heraldic comrade and descended from four respectable people.
The Schrenck belonged to the city council for over 300 years and provided several city treasurers . They achieved wealth primarily through long-distance trade and shares in the Tyrolean mining industry. This is how the family became prosperous. Bartholomäus Schrenck (* 1450, † 1519) was the city's representative and councilor to Duke Albrecht IV of Bavaria . As such, he was one of the co-signers of the Primogeniture Act in 1506 on the indivisibility of the Duchy of Bavaria . He was also a member of the guardianship of the underage Duke Wilhelm IV of Bavaria .
With the entry into the ducal Bavarian service during the 16th century, the Schrenk succeeded in the transition from the urban bourgeoisie to the landed gentry, which ended in 1625. Already in 1408 Michael Schrenck († 1429), the Munich Civil Rights had given up and was as Country aces , because of the inherited property to Notzing, a member of the knighthood in Bavaria-Landshut . In the first half of the 16th century the family lost the Notzing parent company. Nevertheless, in 1575 relatives received confirmation of imperial nobility as Schrenck von Notzing . Around 1500 the brothers Bartholomäus († 1519), Hieronymus († 1510) and Johann divided the family into three tribes. The family came to Saxony through the latter . Johann got to know the Saxon dukes Ernst and Albrecht in Innsbruck , who appointed him to their council . The tribe died out in 1630.
During the 17th and 18th centuries, branches also settled in the Upper Palatinate and the Bavarian Forest . From there a branch came to the Kingdom of Bohemia . In the middle of the 19th century there were still three lines, one Bavarian, one Bohemian and one North German.
Bavarian line
The Bavarian treasurer Ignaz Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1721; † 1774) came from the Bavarian line . A year before his death he married Maria Barbara Weissmann von Weissenstein. His son Sebastian Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1774; † 1848) became royal Bavarian treasurer, minister of justice, and imperial and state council. From his marriage to Leopoldine Freiin von Asch (* 1778; † 1840) came Anton Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1800), lord of the gentlemen Gutmaning, Birnbrunn, Hüllstett and Thann. He became a royal Bavarian appellate judge . Anton married Johanna Freiin von Asch (* 1809; † 1842) in 1833 and left three sons in addition to a daughter. Two sons, barons Leopold (* 1835) and Eduard (* 1838), entered royal Bavarian military service. Her uncle, the younger brother of Freiherr Anton, Carl Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1806, † 1884), Herr zu Wetterfeld, became royal Bavarian chamberlain, former Bundestag envoy and later State Councilor as well as Minister of the Royal House, Foreign Affairs, Commerce and Chairman in the Council of Ministers. From 1868 he was a lifelong Reichsrat and from 1871 until his death the second president of the First Chamber . He married Augusta Freiin von Frankenstein in 1845 and had two daughters.
Austrian line
The founder of the Austrian line was Johann Christoph Adam Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1700; † 1764). He became a curb-Bavarian treasurer and married Maria Antonia Countess Henckel von Donnersmarck . Their son Franz Seraph Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1747, † 1810) was Lord of Zbenice in Bohemia, imperial chamberlain and major . Joseph Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing, son of Freiherr Franz from his second marriage, married in 1791 with Theresia Cajetane Freiin von Aßfeld and Widrzi ( Asfeld z Vydří ; 1765–1805), was an imperial treasurer, district president of Budweis and an honorary citizen of several Bohemian cities. Of his brothers, Ignaz (* 1800) became Imperial Chamberlain and Court Secretary of the General Court Chamber and Anton (* 1806) became Imperial Lieutenant Colonel . Both were able to continue the tribe with sons and daughters. Alois Joseph Schrenck von Notzing (* 1802, † 1849), who was initially Auxiliary Bishop of Olomouc and later Archbishop of Prague, also came from this line . His nephew Ernst Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1845, † 1909) was the imperial major general . The line became extinct in the 20th century.
North German line
The north German third line goes back to Franz Xaver Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing. His father Johann Gottlieb (* 1685; † 1748) married a distant cousin. The family fell into poverty as a result of an inheritance dispute and the chaos of war during the War of the Austrian Succession in the Upper Palatinate . Franz Xaver entered the Theatine order and taught philosophy in Munich. After a change of denomination, he fled to Holland , where he settled as a doctor near Groningen . In 1745 he married Catharina Wallburger von Cönnern. All later relatives in Hanover and Oldenburg descend from him . His son Philibert Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1750, † 1792) became the landowner of Hoogezand . He was married twice, his first marriage from 1775 to Gepke Ludolphs († 1779) and his second marriage from 1784 to Hillegina Hoving († 1798). From the first marriage came son Franz Xaver Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1776; † 1860) and from the second marriage also a son Philipp Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1786; † 1851), both of whom moved to East Friesland . The former became the Hanoverian Rendant of Aurich and married Helena Jacobs in 1800 (* 1778; † 1853). The marriage resulted in numerous descendants who could continue the tribe. His son Albert Philibert Schrenck von Notzing (* 1800; † 1877) became the Grand Duke of Oldenburg Upper Chamber Council , land survey director and member of the grand ducal land registry. Under his leadership, 3000 land maps and parish maps, a topographical map series and a general map were created. His son Wilhelm Freiherr Schrenk von Notzing (* 1828; † 1892) became Lord Mayor of Oldenburg . Albert's younger brother Franz Freiherr Schrenck von Notzing (* 1806) became a royal Prussian tax officer in the Rhine Province . The older son Franz von Schrenck-Notzing (1824–1905) was Rittmeister whose son Albert emerged as a medic. From the marriage with the industrialist daughter Gabriele Siegle (1872–1953) came Leopold (1894–1970), from 1929 to 1945 member of the supervisory board of IG Farbenindustrie AG, and Gustav (1896–1943) Prussian cavalry master, as well as father of the journalist Caspar von Schrenck -Notzing .
