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. 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.
