history

origin

The von Tippelskirch are probably related to the family of the Alten-Waldecker . According to an old tradition, a Waldecker named Diepert is said to have settled in the area of ​​today's Lippertskirchen and built his own church there. The place was named after this first church and the family named after it.

The family was first mentioned with the noblewoman Tita de Dietprestikirchia around the year 1070. She gave, by the hand of knight Gebolf of Karanderis, the monastery Tegernsee two their associated service people Gunthar and Hilti Castle, the annual payment of five denarii to the monastery .

The family's name-giving ancestral home was Diepertskirchen, today Lippertskirchen, part of the Bad Feilnbach community in the Upper Bavarian district of Rosenheim . The spelling of the place name and family name varies with the development of the Bavarian language and due to the shifting of sounds from Diatperhtischirchen, Dietprestikirchia, Dietprechtskirchen, Diepertskirchen and Lieberskirchen to the current form of the name Lippertskirchen. In East Prussia and Courland, the family appears in the 15th century with the spelling Dippoldskirchen, Dippelskirch or Tipoelskirch.
