Zinzendorf family

Not to be confused with Sinzendorf.

The House of Zinzendorf and Pottendorf was an old noble family originating in Lower Austria, documented from the High Middle Ages and later elevated to the rank of Imperial Counts of the Holy Roman Empire. The family belonged to the regional landed nobility of the Austrian duchies and is recorded in standard works of Austrian noble genealogy and heraldry. It is not to be confused with the princely House of Sinzendorf, as these two families do not share the same ancestry.
