Walck (noble family)
The nobles von Walck were a Palatinate or Bavarian noble family .
Family history
With a diploma dated July 7, 1792, Elector Karl Theodor von Bayern in his capacity as imperial vicar elevated the Palatinate-Neuburg government councilor and imperial vicariate court judge Johann Simon Walck (born March 4, 1748) to the hereditary nobility, with the predicate " Noble von" . He was the ancestor of the Palatinate-Bavarian noble family of the nobles von Walck. Simon von Walck later held the office of a real secret council and 1st government secretary of the Altmühlkreis in Eichstätt . This corresponds to the current office of a district administrator .
A branch of the family lived in Speyer in the 19th and 20th centuries , where a tombstone with the family coat of arms has been preserved in the main cemetery . From this line Elisabeth Josefine von Walck (1888–1969) married the brother of the artist Hans Purrmann and for many years ran the Purrmann family's parents' painting business in Speyer with her husband Heinrich Christian.
