My name is Basil Hohl and I am researching the HOLL/ HOHL family name in OberOsterreich.
I have come to a Hans Holl (Hollin) "auf der Bruck" Wastilgut 7 Mosl Ungenach b. etwa 1555 - tot 1644 (Hochmoos) Ungenach OberOsterreich and ehe Margarete gestorben 1643 Ungenach.
1500AD - 1580 Bruck Zell am Pettenfirst who were the landowners?
I would like to know where they actually originated from which country whether it is OberOsterreich or Augsburg or they came from Voralberg or Lorch or some where else and the time line of their emigration to OberOsterreich. I do know of a Wolfgang Heller was a Witness and I think a mayor of Vocklabruck in 1508 married to a Dorothea. - Possible relative.
My deceased father Karl Hohl told me when I was young that they seems to be able to go back to ~890 AD ?? and they where Franken. He was of a noble descent similar to a Graf and fled to Austria around Vocklabruck. This could be from the defeat of the Swiss wars , Turkish wars, Farmers wars or had enough of war . So many wars. Possible belonged to the Hapsburgers as they all lived under the Hapsburg rule. I was very young about 13yrs old.
Holl wappen of OberOsterreich?
One thing that does get me is that he said they had a wappen that was Mauve (light faded Purpure) and white striped Fahnen on about six lances I would say this is on the crest as for the shield no idea possible striped arms of the shield. I cannot for the life of me find anything of these colours used and I have looked at every variant of the Holl name. I would say it maybe similar to the Holstein wappen use of lances and Fahnen.There is no use of Mauve in Austrian Heraldry. Red and blue yes not Mauve.
If you can assist me with any information that would be of great help Monika or if anybody else can assist me that would be great . Any questions I can answer or help you with please ask.
