The tribe continued and came to great prosperity through marriage, mining and banking. Karl Anton Gotthard Ducius von Wallenberg (1729–1787), chief tax auditor of the Wroclaw Chamber of War and Domains , and his wife Dorothea Elisabeth, b. von Pachaly (1745–1798) were able to have the Wallenberg-Pachaly-Palais built in the inner city of Breslau in 1785–1787 based on the design of the architect Carl Gotthard Langhans . The family owned the G. v. Pachaly sel. Nephew , founded in 1679. Around 1837 was the secret councilor Carl Anton Gotthardt von Wallenberg (1773–1842), lord of Peterwitz bei Canth ( Kąty Wrocławskie ), married to Julie Florentine, née. von Pachaly (1785–1841), owner.

Around 1857, Carl Franz Gideon von Wallenberg owned Kattern and Grünau in the Breslau district, Paul Gideon von Wallenberg Schmolz , also in the Breslau district, and Guido von Wallenberg Klein-Wilkawe in the Trebnitz district . In May 1920, Commerzbank took over the bank.

Wallenberg-Pachaly

The Pachaly family line begins with Georg Pachaly († 1665), pastor of Strebitzko near Militsch . The Breslau councilor and cloth merchant Gideon Pachaly was raised to the bohemian nobility in 1730. In 1752 the family received the Silesian Inkolat . In 1753 Gideon's sons Gideon and Johann von Pachaly received confirmation of the Prussian nobility.

Carl Gotthardt Gideon Ducius von Wallenberg (1817–1869) received on August 11, 1841 (published January 21, 1842) the royal Prussian permission to add the name and coat of arms of the Pachaly family, which died out with the death of his mother in 1841, to his own and from To name Wallenberg Pachaly .

The name and coat of arms association should actually only ever pass to the family senior, which is why Ernst von Wallenberg (1821–1898) did not use it; today it is used as a family name .
