Croatian and Austrian noble family
The House of Kulmer is a noble family originating in the Duchy of Carinthia. The family ancestry is traced back to the 14th century under names of Kulmer and von Münzenbach. Georg Kulmer (?–1567) had the Rosenbichl Castle built near Klagenfurt, while his brother Hermann Kulmer (?–1546) built the Hohenstein Castle near Sankt Veit an der Glan. Johann Balthasar Kulmer (?–1683) was awarded the title of baron in 1654 and the title of von Rosenpichl und Hohenstein. His three sons, Georg Ferdinand (1638–1706), Christoph Andreas, and Ferdinand Ernst are deemed the progenitors of the Carinthian, Styrian and Croatian branches of the family respectively.

Styrian branch.
Christoph Andreas Freiherr von Kulmer is deemed the founder of the Styrian branch of the Kulmer family. He married Judith von Staudach and was succeeded as the head of the family branch by his son Georg Heinrich (?–1670). He was succeeded by his son Wolfgang Andreas (1658–1719).
Otto Herbert (1688–1746) of the Styrian branch had possessions in Croatia, and his son Ferdinand was a captain in the Petrinja Regiment in the Croatian Military Frontier and served as an adjutant to the Ban of Croatia Franz Leopold von Nádasdy.
In mid-18th century, the head of the branch was Emerich who married Johanna von Rechbach had sons Johann Nepomuk (1763–1796, killed in the Battle of Castiglione), Franz Xaver (1760–1793, killed in the French Revolutionary Wars near Tirlemont), and major general Ferdinand (1763–?). Ferdinand's son Ignaz (1798–1861) married Countess Josepha Kuenburg and pursued judicial career in Split (Habsburg realm of Dalmatia) and Graz where he was the president of the regional court. Ignaz had two daughters—Johanna Nepomucena and Teheresia Maria in 1837 and 1847 respectively. Johann Nepomuk was succeeded as the head of the Styrian branch of the Kulmer family by Karl (1812–?) who remained in that position until at least 1865.
