The von Tillier family was a Bernese patrician family who had owned the city of Bern as a citizen since around 1400 .

history

The oldest common ancestor was Ludwig Tillier, who can be found in Bern from 1414 to 1420. Two main lines emanated from it. The family had belonged to the Middle Lions Society since 1455 and the male line died out with him in 1854 . Other branches belonged to the Mohren (1524 to 1583), to Pfistern (1555 to 1788) and to Schiffleuten (1737 to 1835). In the 16th century, the family received the hereditary nobility (the Junk title was carried by the members of the family without the predicate “von”), in 1715 the imperial knighthood , later in the 18th century also the Austrian baron class , with Johann Anton Tillier (quartermaster general) and Joseph Maximilian von Tillier , both Lieutenant Field Marshal and Knight of the Military Order of Maria Theresa .

From 1731 to 1940, the Château de Champvent in Vaud belonged to the Tillier.
