Tannberger
The Tannbergers were a ministerial family of the bishops of Passau. As such, they first appeared in 1111 with the Truchseß Sigebot. They had their headquarters near Pischelsdorf am Engelbach (Bischofsdorf) in the Innviertel. In the following centuries they came into the possession of various rulers in the Mühlviertel and Innviertel.
