History
Like the Princely Counts of Grz and the Princely Counts
of Tyrol the Von Graben descended from the
Meinhardins. The earliest known members of the Von
Graben family, Konrad and his brother Grimoald von
Graben, lived around 1170. Konrads father can be a son of
Count palatine Engelbert I or his younger brother Count
palatine Meinhard I of Gorizia.
[5][6]
During the later 13th
century the princely family Orsini-Rosenberg descended
from a member of the Von Graben family lived at the

During the Middle Ages, the success of that family arose from the
steady accumulation of land, and loyalty to the Counts of Grz
and later to the Habsburg Emperor. The first prominent member
of the family was Ulrich II von Graben (named between 1314
1361), who was elevated to the Styrian title of Burggraf of
Hohenwang. After the death of Leonhard of Gorizia in 1500 they
became his succeeder as stadtholders of Lienz and East Tyrol. The
last member was Felix Jakob von Graben; the family died out in
1776. The Dutch family De Graeff said, that they descent from
Wolfgang von Graben, member of the family Von Graben.
Andries de Graeff and his son Cornelis became Free Imperial
knights of the Holy Roman Empire. That diplome dadet from 19
July 1677.
