Boßler family
[2] Again, the Mosbach line, and thus its Boßler named branch, originates lawfully from the aristocratic House of the Rüden von Bödigheim (Uradel).
Rüde is a nomen gentilicium, which was changed for business reasons and to conceal family relationships to the dialectal occupational surname Boßler at the request of the bearer of the name between 1633 and 1640.
[12] By 1779, William and his son John Heinrich (Henry) Bossler (1747–1790), also named Bassler,[13] owned a combined 280 acres of plantations.
Georges daughter-in-law Catharina Weiser was related to the Muhlenberg family, a United States political, religious, and military dynasty.
[24] Formal the Mosbach line changed its coat of arms to obscure its aristocratic ancestry to a black, smooth-haired Rüde pointing upwards towards the jump with open mouth, craving red tongue and tail curved over itself on a yellow or golden escutcheon with a frog-mouth helm.
[27][28] To use aristocratic rights even as burghers in 1607, prince-elector Frederick IV of the Palatinate confirmed the above blazoned family coat of arms by grant of arms with feudal fief article and granted an augmentation of honour consisting of a tilting helmet with black mantling on the outside and a yellow or golden on the inside, from which two black horns emerge at the top and a yellow or golden six-pointed star between them.
[1][29] An imperial or electoral issuance of arms with a feudal fief article is recognised as a patent of nobility by the Almanach de Gotha.
[30] In the field of music and drama, the fine arts were shaped by two descendants of the South Hessian dynasty who were among the cultural elite of their time.
All in all, these family members have achieved a high social standing, are part of Hesse-Darmstadt's hunting history and have attained pioneer status through their famous creative art in the manufacture of air rifles.
[39] The air rifles of the hesse-darmstadt court gunsmiths Johann Peter (1689–1742) and Friedrich Jacob Boßler (1717–1793) so famous that they were copied during the lifetime of their creators.
[44] Members of the younger family line are considered pioneers of passenger shipping on the Neckar, as they were already active in this business field in the 1920s.
The guest list of the passenger companies run by the younger line included high personalities from the state and politics as well as furthermore foreign representatives.
Thus a family branch of the younger line is involved in one of the largest tourism companies in the shipping industry in southern Germany.
