| The Generation of Lobach (or as it is spelled, Lohbach, in the oldest and most general way of spelling said name in Germany) is a very old and respectable race, which has counted among the free sovereign Counts in the Genealogies of the Nobility of Vienna in olden times and originated in Steyermark in Austria.About the year 513, there lived in the mountains of Steyermark a Walo of Lohbach, who was called Duke of Lohbach (Loh meaning low, and bach meaning stream or brook, hence Lohbach in English is Lowbrook). The signs of his shield were two heads of an eagle, the symbols of watchfulness, strength, power and perseverance; and two battle axes, the symbols for desire for contest and strife. On his helmet he had a crown as an emblem of his dominion over a very extended territory. Above this he had an iron-coated arm holding a flag, as a sign that he had been a victorious leader in many battles. Such a shield and the signs of his helmet became afterward the Coat of Arms of this Race. |
