Cousin of Lilienberg
The Counts Vetter von Lilienberg were an Austrian noble family .
history
The originally Dutch family , who wrote themselves "Vetter van der Lilien", settled in Bohemia and was raised to the hereditary-Austrian nobility under the government of Emperor Maximilian II .
Emperor Ferdinand II allowed an improvement in the coat of arms and the use of the title "von Lilienberg" for the imperial lieutenant colonel Knight Eusebius von Lilien because of loyalty and bravery during the Bohemian uprising.
The Feldzeugmeister Wenzel Vetter Ritter von Lilienberg was elevated to the status of an Austrian-hereditary count on December 21, 1813 in Vienna by Emperor Franz I of Austria .
It has been extinct in the male line since 1842 .
The cousins of Lilienberg and the cousins of the lily were assigned to a family (cousin) for a long time, which is not tenable from a heraldic point of view, as there are two completely different coats of arms.
coat of arms

In the red center shield on three rock peaks a golden, crowned griffin, which holds a white garden lily in the right front claw and is accompanied by a silver star at the top right. 1 and 4 in silver a crowned, golden, circular snake, which bites its tail and behind which a green laurel branch lies diagonally to the right. 2 and 3 in black a silver stream flowing obliquely to the left, which is accompanied at the top by a growing, crowned, silver eagle and at the bottom by a silver double cross.
