Pückler

The House of Pückler, with branches named Pückler-Muskau, Pückler-Burghauss (Pückler-Burghauß), Pückler-Limpurg and Pückler-Groditz, was an old and influential German noble family which originated from Silesia.

== History == The family was first mentioned in the 13th century. They obtained the title of Count in 1690, while they were rewarded with the title of Imperial Count in 1740 by Charles VI. There was one princely line created in 1822 by Friedrich Wilhelm III for Hermann, Count von Pückler-Muskau and several comital branches of the family. The Imperial County of Pückler-Limpurg was mediatized by Württemberg when the Holy Roman Empire came to an end in 1806. As immediate, that branch belonged to the high nobility, but it became extinct in the male line in 1963.
