Some thoughts on the incumbents between 1660 and 1704

Note

This discussion is part of the Vienese heralds list.
The file name and the title are not consitent. I thought there is no discussion point in the eighteenth century, actually there is.

End of "full promotion"

 When Ferdinand I instituted his heraldic college, it had a promotion system, in which a herald is promoted from the most junior (Bohemia at that time) to the most senior (Römischer at that time). Thus Francolin who styled himself Hungary in 1560 was in 1565 Romanus and Pellenstraß promoted from Bohemia (1560) to Germanicus (1565). Likewise Poinsot, Bohemia (1565), reached the highest position, Römischer by 1582. This is clearly confirmed by the 1624 petition. Here I call this "full promotion".
This system must have ceased to exit by 1704. From that year, the Yearbook started to record the then heralds' names, by which we can trace the incumbents entrances and exits. We can here observe the promotion system had been applied to the two Reichs ("diminished promotion").
When did it end? This is a question whiche needs to be cleared to draw a chart which shows the shift of incumbents,
I will examine this backwards — starting from 1704, I will try to prove the non-existence of full promotion retrospectively.
Among the 1704 incumbents, the first person who catches our eyes is Haaß, as he was Austria in the 1704 list, and since 1661 he occupied the same position (he was sometimes called Reichs — I will discuss this elsewhere later). During the 43 years, there were a number of heralds died or left, yet he never got promoted. Does this mean full promotion ended by 1661? One problem is, there was no instance someone who held Austria promoted to a higher office (i.e., Bohemia). The 1624 petition does not mention Austria, which can be simply because the office was then vacant. We can, however, also assume Austria was excluded from the promotion system, as it was a new addition by Matthias c. 1608-12 — not in Ferdinand's original plan. Also, while other four offices are all Reichs in their respective own right, Austria was not. Even in the nineteenth century, it was placed below Lombard-Venet, presumably because it was not a Reich.
The next person is Haßlingen: he was Bohemia at least from 1687 to 1704 (d. in the latter year). It is obvious, despite the several departures of his fellow heralds during this period, he remained in the same position, that indicates there was no more full promotion. If we go back further, his first mention as a herald occurred in 1681. We here should bring the 1687 list — a full list of five heralds with titles as of 1687 (one of whom is Bohemia Haßlingen). If the full promotion was active between 1681-7, the three senior colleagues must have entered the heraldic college before him, i.e., before 1681 with the order as mentioned in 1687 (Grädel – Heiß – Johann Kollman Gögger). Is it possible? The transition shown as fig. 2a is a possible option. This signifies, the full promotion came to an end by c. 1683, when Heiß was driectly appointed to the Second Reichs. As Grädel filled the vacancy caused by Pfaller in 1678, Heiß and J. K. Gögger must have come to the offices between 1678 (Grädel) and 1681 (Haßlingen). There was, however, only one chance. If we put Heiß in 1681 as shown in fig. 2b, it will cause a conflict in 1683: while Heiß needs to promote from Hungary to the Second Reichs (that means there was full promotion), Haßlingen needs to remain in Bohemia, and J. K. Gögger needs to be Hungary directly (that means there was diminished promotion). The conclusion from these is, full promotion ceased to exist by c. 1683. Note that it does not mean it really ceased in that year. It could have ended before that also, which I will examine more in next section.

Note: in both charts, Churelichz, Gasser, Baier and Pfaller do not necessarily reflect the actual appointments and vacations. The two charts show a simulation just to prove non-existence of full promotion even if we make all the vacancies fully and deliberately available.

The 1660 list

 We need to take another approach to give up going back more from 1681. Before 1681 back to 1660, other than Haaß, all the incumbents were mentioned as Reichs in all their occurrences which makes it impossible to determine the precedence, who is senior and who is junior (and not to mention there is no complete list available).
Now the 1660 list shows the five heralds, however without their titles. If we consider their seniority in terms of their proefssional career, Beringer was the eldest (and also he occupies the top of the list), then comes Krautenhuber. These two were, by far, must have been senior to the other three, and in terms of age also they were by far older. As for the other three, Öllmann the son was a herald since at least 1652 (here again ignoring his title) which can be further extended back to 1647 when his father died. Churelichz was first mentioned as Bohemia in 1658. It is not likely Churelichz was senior to Öllmann as a herald, as the former's professional career started only in 1654. It is difficult to determine when Gasser started his career (even not as a herald). His record before 1660 is not known, and also he died in 1683 implies he belongs to the same generation as the younger two. (If he belongs to the same generation as the older two, we can expect his occurrence(s) long before 1660.) As for the age, both Öllmann and Churelichz were born in the same year, 1621. Gasser also may have been born in around the same year.
We come here to a problem: while the most normal precedence is R1-R2-H-B-A, it however does not align with their career nor age (for the latter, even though I never saw such a list). 1. Why did Krautenhuber come to the last, even junior to Gasser? There is a mention to the former as herald in 1637 (again ignoring his title — I shall discuss this later). 2. Likewise why did Churelichz enjoy the second highest position? Or, was the list arranged like R1-B-H-A-R2? Does this make any sense? Why did this order need to be preferred, rather than the normal order?
My suggestion, then, is, R1-R2-A-H-B. To be honest, it more aims to solve the promotion system problem, and thus it makes the questions I have raised only "half-resolved". That said, the precondition for this list in the first place is, it is not in a random order. There must have been a background idea. This is kind of a belief. I do not believe, in those days, people did not stick on the precedence in such an occasion as to be mentioend in a published book. While A-H-B is rare and can be found in the 1702 list only, it still means the order makes sense (that is why it was adopted in 1702). What is the good reason for this order? I will start with the question in the previous section, when the promotion system got shranken.
The sytem must have been dimnished in 1660 when the emperor restablished the heraldic institution. There was a restablishment. Churelichz stated Ius Heraldis per Augstum LEOPOLDUM restabilitum Opera Laurentÿ de Churelichz etc. 1660 in Churelichz 1661, frontispiece. It was, in my understanding, a two-fold change: 1) one is change of system (a permanent change), 2) the other is change of nomination (or swap of the titles, and a one-shot change). 1) Under the new system, promotion is limited to the two Reichs, and other three officers stay in the same position (the only exception happend in the nineteenth century, when the Kingdom of Lombard-Venetia vanished Koderle promoted to Reichs 1866-8). I have no amibition to find out what was Leopold's motivation to make such a change. However, if we need to choose one occasion when the change took place, it must be 1660. In other years between 1660 and 81 (as proven above as terminus ad quem), there is no clue to indicate such a change. 2) If there was no more full promotion, Haaß' predecessor must be Öllmann (the other herald deceased in 1661 is Beringer who however died after Haaß' mention as Austria in that year). Gasser (died in 1683) must be Hungary, as Haßligen was Bohemia from 1681. Then the last office, Bohemia goes to the last person, i.e., Krautenhuber. This focuses, as already indicated, more on the promotion — to reconstruct the shift of incumbents. On the other hand, I have no justification for why Öllmann and Krautenhuber were (probalby) obliged to be degraded to Austria and Bohemia, respectively. As for the senior two offices, no one would object Beringer's (the first of the two) supremacy. He boasted, by far, the longest heraldic career. Also he seems to have been the sole provider of the material for Flori Europæi, V.. Even J. C. Öllmann whose father had been a herald since around the same time as Beringer, did not contribute anything. Krautenhuber also. Churelichz, the other of the two and the last person to examine, is the only herald who had the right to get promoted. He had been active since 1658 when he published his first (I believe it is the first) work and would publish more volumes towards 1666 (see his biography). He must have been instrumental for the heraldic part of Flori V as can be understood by the sentence Penes Heraldum Cas. Laurentium de Chureliz in the title page. The work was the first (and the only) attempt to describe the overall picture of the heraldic institution at the Vienese court (the quality is not comparable with the English heralds works, still this is something the French heralds never accomplished). This is another proof to believe there must have been kind of momentum that renovated the institution of which he was the leading figure, even though we do not know whatsoever background there lies (or, was it Churelichz's personal zeal? — for now cannot be confirmed).
Now we got two conclusions one for the order of the 1660 list, and the other for the start of the dimnished promotion. Based on these, and the occurrence of the heralds, together with some assumption, we can reconstruct the shift of incumbents.
If I can point out one more thing, institutional change always happened always in the starting years of the then monarch's reign: Ferdinand I's foudnation of the heraldic college, Matthias' (re)introduction of the Austrian office, Joseph I's creation of Wappen Inspektor. Of course this can be mere coincidence. As I shall show later, the separation between Hoffouriers and heralds seems to have been completed towards the end of Leopold I's reign, there is at least one exception.

Too many Reichsherolds

 In this section I will examine my assumption (see above), the appellation Reichsherold in those days must have meant any herald who served the Emperor. Of the 20 incumbents under current consideration, only two (Haaß and Haßlingen) were styled other titles than Reichs when they were mentioned separatedly from their other colleagues (obituary, for example). Even Haaß and Haßlingen were called Reichsherold (see below). Since they never got promoted, it is impossible they held the senioir office in the middle of, and at the end of their careers. There are other such occurrences as shown below. In a reversed manner, sometimes all the five heralds were collectively called Reichs-. This happened in 1666 and 1681. Similarly in 1627, they were all styled Kaͤyserl. Herolden.

There was certainly a German preference for the title Reichsherold. (This can be understood as a sign of a schism which put an end to a medieval unitary heraldic institution among the countries; also why was it Herold, and not Reichswappenkönig? — they wanted something like Wappenkaiser who serves the Emperor...? Probably we should consider that the emergence of Reichsherold coincides with disappearance of pursuivants in the German world). It is beyond my ambition to here give an extensive survey on the origin and development of the term, still I shall touch upon its history to make my conclusion I stated at the beginning of this section more convincing. The ever first Reichsherold formally mentioined as such occurred in 1582 when Martin Stöckl (or Stöckel) was styled Reichs Heroldt. As he was most likely promoted on Hans Francolin's death (or retire) c. 1580, the office Reichsherold also must date back to that year (note: I am concerned with the Reichsherold at the Vienese court, meaning, it is possible there could be another Reichsherold elesewhere earlier than 1580 — Dennmark or Sweden, for example). However, it seems, long before Stöckl, the Emperors' heralds styled themselves by that title, and it became a commonly used title to refer them. As far as I searched, the first two events in which Reichsherold are mentioned occurred in 1474, when Romreych was called as such: des Reichs Eerenholden Romreych genannt (with the premise it is correct to understand des Reichs Eerenholden is the precursor or Reichsherold). However this is a retrospective mention, as the manuscript was complied c. 1555-9 (still it is before 1580). (Note, before 1474, there was: Romerich ayn kunyng der wappen des heiligen Romyschen reiches und Erhalt in Grant in German by Romerich, king of arms of the Holy Roman Empire ... Dated at London on the Feast of the Nativity of St. John Baptist, 1467, in Proceedings of the Society of Antiquaries of London, Second series, vol. 16, 1895-7, pp.341-2. (Internet Archive.)

I am, however doubtful of the authenticity of this grant. So far this must be the only grant of arms by a German King of Arms.) The first contemporary (and unsuspicious) mention I could find is that of 1526 (see the table below). From that year on, there were numerous mentions.

What the term Reichs signifies is ambiguous. Theoretically, Hungary and Bohemia are also Reich per se, same as Sweden, Norway and Bavaria. In fact, in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there are narratives which describe the coronations or oaths mention Hungarian Reichsherold (curiously however, I could not find any Bohemian instance). The occurrences include: 1712, 1741, 1792, 1825, 1830. The examples given in Table 2, on the other hand, show the special reference to the Heilige Römische Reich: des hailigen römischen reichs ernhold or des heyligen Reychs Eerenholt. The 1559 instance gives the most definite and distinct picture of the office in the form of two Reichsherolds are opposed to the other two heralds, one Hungary, and the other Bohemia, that must denote, only the two (Römishcer and Deutscher) represent the Reich. King of the Romans and that of the Germans were kind of pre-requisite to be an Emperor while Bohemia was not, and Hungary was even not a part of the Empire. Here the Reich premises more Imperial sense. As a consequence, the two offices needed to change the title to Kaiserlicher östereichischer Herold in 1807 when the old Reich came to an end. The new empire was, unfortunately, not a Reich but a Kaisertum. However, the story could be simpler, that those who look like a Reichsherold were called as such. The senior two must have worn the tabard with a Reichsadler, and a herald with Reichsadler — he is a Reichsherold. There was one more such usage that the two junior officers in Reichsadler to act in the capacity of Reichs. In the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries the Emperors' heralds were busy to travel within the Empire for making declaration (mostly for Reichsacht). Such an announcement needed to be done by a Reichsherold or an Emperor's herald (and not by a Hungarian nor Bohemian herald). That is why Pierbaumer and Preger both of whom must have been then Bohemia were called Emperor's herald and Reichs Herold. J. C. Öllmann also was probably Hungary in 1652, as Beringer occupied the First, and Krautenhueber (with lesser possiblty than Beringer) occupied the Second. Likewise Krix can join the group when he styled himself Imperii Heroaldum in 1595 in that year he must have been Bohemia.
The following list summarizes the several usages: 1) Reichsherold as a generic term to denote all the heralds or any herald who served the Emperor. 2) Reichsherold as a generic term to denote any herald who represented any Reich. See especially the Hungarian examples shown above. 3) Reichsherold as again a generic however more specific term to denote the senior two heralds who represented the Empire. Later it became the formal heraldic title for them. 4) Reichsherold in appearance, the heralds with Reichsadler (usually those who belong to the third category). There is kind of laziness here which however cannot deny the idea that, for most of the people in those days, he looks like a Reichsherold, that is why they understand he is a Reichsherold — this only was the practically available definition for them. 5) Heralds acting in the capacity of Reichs (thus they fall in the fourth category also). Back to our question, the problem for the current discussion is, a Reichsherold occurrence does not necessary mean the herald was a Reichsherold in the third sense.

Nepotism and end of Hoffourier-Herold

Note: this discussion impacts on the last c. 10 years of the timespan under concern.
The period under our discussion is marked by nepotism. While in England, France, the Low Countries, and Spain, we observe many heraldic dynasties, at the Vienese court it was quite sparse, After 1559 down to the fall of the Empire, all such occurences are found in these c. 40 years, except one Strobl case which occured in the middle of the eighteenth century (note that 1. I counted heraldic dynasties, i. e., heralds more than one generation only. Besides those I mentioned, there was Poinsot dynasty, which was founded by one Johann the father who was a Hofquartiermeister (and not a herald) followd by Johann the son who rose to Römischer. See AT-OeStA/AVA Adel RAA 322.35 Poinsott, Johann, Johann, sein Sohn, kaiserlicher Herold, Adelsbestätigung, Wappenbesserung, 1564.11.28 (Akt (Sammelakt, Grundzl., Konvolut, Dossier, File)) (here in my understanding, the son was kaiserlicher Herold) and AT-OeStA/AVA Adel RAA 322.34 Poinsott, Johann, kaiserlicher Hofquartiermeister, Adelsstand, Wappenübertragung vom Vetter Johann Poinsard, 1559.07.20 (Akt (Sammelakt, Grundzl., Konvolut, Dossier, File)). See also AT-OeStA/AVA Adel RAA 322.33 Poinsard, Johann, aus Hericourt, Wappen mit Lehenartikel, 1548.06.04 (Akt (Sammelakt, Grundzl., Konvolut, Dossier, File)). This is kind of half or semi heraldic dynasty. There can be more such occurrences. 2. I did not check the female line through which there can be more instances). All the founders were Hoffouriers, this must be because, heralds had been no more a profession to chase its career (like from pursuivant to king of arms), instead a position which can continue to exist only by an incumbent who already secured another position. (How did, on the practice level, they succeed? Was there any kind of survivance by which the father secured his post in favor of the son? At least, the Gögger dynasty was not realized by it, as, the father surrendered in favor of son, i. e., not through inheritance; and if it was by the virtue of survivance, how could Johann Christian Wilhelm complained about it? This is a question yet to be surveyed.)
Hoffourier had been since 1554 the major supplier of heralds. In that year under Ernholdt, Quartiermaister and Hof Furier were listed together, and among whom we can find two (futur) heralds, Thomas Dorner (or Thorner) and Hans Francolin, the famous herald. In the 1612 Hofstat of Rudolf II and of Matthias, there are total three Hoffouriers who would be heralds in the coming years. The 1653-4 list shows three (the then incumbent or futur) Hoffourier-Herolds.
This is probably because of their overlapping functions in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries. During this period, heralds often traveled into the Reich, mostly to declare the Imperial Ban. The Hofquartieramt was responsible to organize and prepare such travels (Rescher 2016, p.96). It must be convenient (at least for whom who commands such missions) the one who arranges and the one who goes are the same person (or belongs to the same office).
Of the 20 heralds examined in this discussion, 10 held Hoffourier office concurrently, at least for a while; 3 were also Hoffouriers however they were one-shot heralds; 2 were sons of Hoffouriers however they themselves were not Hoffourier. The heralds who form the three dynasties (yes only three) are included in this list, except J. C. Öllman's father Johann Öllman who was also a Hoffourier. Hoffouriers could make influence the recruiting of heralds as we can observe in J. K. Gögger's case, and that is (and simply that is) why the founders of the three cases here were Hoffouriers. If it is the case, it is not comparable with the court arms painter Krahls for whom it was a kind of family business (same as heralds in England and elsewhere).
The 1687 list shows the the hight of the nepotismic recruitment: Other than Haaß, all the four heralds came from the Hoffourier pool. Probably this monopoly cauesd the anomaly of the three heraldic dynasties (however this in turn brings another question, why during this period, were the Hoffouriers so successful in securing the heraldic offices).
By 1687, at the same time, trend had started to change. The 10 Hoffouriers can be further divided into two groups: the earlier group, J. C. Öllmann, Krautenhuber, Liedel, Pfaller, and possibly Baier held the two offices concurrently till their respective death, while the later group, Grädel, Haßlingen, Heiß (probably), and Faber left one of the two offices sometime after they held the two offices concurrently (the last one, J. K. Gögger also but his career was somewhat irregular; see below).
In the ever first Yearbook, the 1702 Yearbook, Hoffouriers and heralds were no more listed together (compare with the 1554 list). In the next Yearbook, the 1704 Yearbook, the Hof-Quartier-Ambt was placed under Instanzen, ... Expeditionen, als Aembtern, ..., pp.1ff., while heralds were under Hof-Staat, pp.160ff., making the two offices completely separated (with the premise the Yearbook reflects the actual organization structure). The former was subordinate to the Hofmarschall as told by Rescher (Rescher 2016, p.96). The latter must have been subject to the Obrist-Hofmeister (p.161), under whom were those who were responsible to Küche und Tafel, Ärzte und Chirurgen, Kapelle, etc. (Rescher 2016, p.4), and in the Yearbook also heralds were mentiond together with them — in the same page were, for example, Mund- und Hoff-Koch, or Hoff-Medici. That meant heralds were expected to serve the Emperor for his body (but how? entertain visually by the gorgeous outfit?). It can be compared with the Wappen-Inspektor who was under Reichs-Hof-Cancelley, Lateinischer Expedition, and thus underAemter, not part of the Hof-Staat (see the 1706 Yearbook, p.93 for example).
This more implies, at some time before 1702, heralds were transferred from under the supervision of Hofmarschall to that of Hofmeister. Although the Hofquartieramt yielded many heralds, they had been from time to time listed along with the servants who were in charge of Wohl des Kaisers (Rescher, p.4). In 1582, heralds were mentioned with Leib-Medici, Leib Cammer diener, Quardarobe which can be observed in 1594 also. Similarly the 1612 Rudolph's Hoff statt did not mention heralds together with Hoffurier, instead they were followed by Schneider, Hoffparbierer, Wundt Arzt, etc. It is possible to assume, while on a practice level, Hoffourier-Herold was convenient, heralds per se was thought to be an office which serves Emperor's person.
Two contrasting ideas on the nature of the office, and two contradicting processes of transition. It is beyond the scope of this discussion to bring one single story to explain all. What I can say for now is, toward the end of the seventeenth century, there was some change in the heraldic institution. It is likely the change was not part of a bigger restructure on an entire court level. As far as I checked, there was no such major re-organization in this period. One more question is, just after this period, in c. 1705 the Wappen-Inspektor was created, and William O'Kelly who held the Austrian herald's office was its first incumbent. Is there any link between this new office and previous change? Do these form a series of events within one scheme? This aain is beyond my scope; yet I needed to bring this topic as, when, and how the transition took place impacts on the period c. 1690 to 1702. I will come back to this when I disuss about Faber and Heiß.

Sub-topics (2) Officer specific discussion

What I have concluded in the previous sections covers most of the shifts and replacements of the officers during the period under current concern. There still remains several incumbents whom I need to more closely examine. Same as previous sections, I will start from the end of the period and go backward.

Faber, Heiß and Dausch (and the Grädels)

 Faber was the last Hoffourier to be appointed a herald. As already shown, there was certainly a change of trend toward the end of the seventeenth century. His appointment must have been before that. There is, however, some difficulty to determine the start and end of his tenure.
As for the end, his successor must be Dausch who was mentioned (only once) as a herald in Feb. 1703. Faber on the other hand was in his heraldic office on 26 Dec. 1702, again this is the only instance he occurred as a herald (I do not here argue the inconsitency of his first name, but question remains). He then must have left sometime between these two dates. We cannot be more precise.
The start date is much more difficult. I presume he succeeded Heiß. The other option for his predecessor is Grädel the father. Of course, we should expect there was a Grädels' succession for which, we however have no evidence to validate. If we need to bring something supportive, we can point out that, in that case, Faber's tenure will be between c. 1701 (Grädel the father's death and c. 1703. This means, the Hoffourier-herald practice came to an end in between these about three years (in 1701 a Hoffourier (Faber) was chosen to be a herald, and in 1703, instead of a Hoffourier, a Cammerfourier (Dausch) was favored). Was it really the case?
Heiß, the more qualified predecessor's heraldic career got obscure toward the end of the century. His last mention as a herald occurred in 1692 while his record as a Hoffourier regularly appeared on HZABX down to 1702, the year of his death. This does not, however, necessarily mean he left the office in 1692. There was no single entry for Gasser's heraldic activity. And, that will be same for Heiß' successor (of which Faber is the only option) if the former really surrendered his office in 1692, the new herald also lacks his trace, unless we assume a long vacancy, which I exclude in this discussion as I stated in the precondition. There is no reason to believe of making heraldic offices dormant in this period (even under Charles VI and Mary Therese, yes Hungary and Bohemia experienced such a situation, it was not the case for the two Reichs). One may question, if Faber came to the office in 1692, he needed to jump over his senior colleagues' heads. We are, so far, not so much sure for the mechanism how the seniority among Hoffouriers brings the precedence to be awarded a herald's office. The 1677 Hoffourier list puts Grädel in the second highest position. Before he was appointed to Reichsherold, however, there were three Hoffouriers who were made heralds, J. K. Gögger, Pfaller, and Baier (their respective dates of appointment is based on assumption with varied ceratainty, among which, at least, Pfaller's only chance is Liedel's death). We can, of course, assume Heiß was in his heraldic office until his death. He died on 11 Oct. 1702 shortly after that his (supposed) successor Faber was first (and last) mentioned, as already stated, on 26 Dec. 1702. This again makes the latter's tenure extremely short. It brings some doubt if it was really the case.
Comparing Faber's (and Heiß') career with other Hoffourier-heralds brings some hints. Being a herald after having been a Hoffourier for two years (Faber (1)) seems to be a too quick rise. Keeping herald's office for 1 year before leaving it (Faber (2)) also needs a convincing reason as already stated. (Heiß' three options are all okey as far as I observe.)
1696 (Faber and Heiß (3)) is the year when Faber became a herald to succeed Heiß, this is my conclusion for now. Balancing between the several heralds' careers is the only supporting factor for this. This could be corrected or updated with new sources or information. As already repeated, this was the last occasion a Hoffourier was created a herald. Probably there was no question on this practice in this year. Climate had been changed by the time when Faber surrenderred the award. This again needs new sources and information.

The three one-shot Hoffourier-heralds

The three Hoffourier-heralds who occurred for once in 1690 were one-shot appointee. No more than it, no less than it. For our current discussion there is no space to place them (and they do not have the right to claim any seat). The three intrudees, Grädel, Haßlingen, and Haaß remained in their respective offices till their (again) respective death. There were other two ordinary (if we can call them as such), Heiß and J. B. Gögger, of which, the former resigned as a herald c. 1696 (this is my assumption discussed in the previous section). By that year, Görz, one of the three intruders had already departed this life. Other two seem to have not successfully secured this only chance. By April 1701 when Grädel, the first one of the then oridiary to leave this life died, Crocus had left the Hoffourier office in 1699 and shifted to Wiener Rat. Lastly in October 1701, Kraus followed Grädel. Theoretically, he could compete with M. P. Grädel if the condition allowed (we do not know, Grädel the son had some priority or not). Not sure however, considering his age, if he really had such an ambition to apply for the position. However again, we even do not know if they were even intruders or not. We do knot now anything about the background why the three played heralds' role just for one occasion. I dedicate the rest of this section for some thoughts around this. (Just thoughts without any conclusion.)
One question we need to put in mind is, if this one-shot appointment was common or exceptional. Also, one more factor we need to consider is, that in that occasion, four were Hoffouriers, and the last one, J. B. Gögger was a son of a Hofquartiermeister. As far as I searched, at the Vienese court, the 1690 occurrence was the only instance any collective one-shot appointment was made. The lack of sources in most part of the seventeenth century makes it difficult to make this a final conclusion.
We shall not, for now, abandon the option that this was a normal practice. The simplest answer we can assume why there was such a practice is, there was simply a resource issue, i. e., the ordinary officers could not attend the ceremony due to itinerary schedule or by any reason. If it is the case, the Hoffouriers were chosen just because they were easy to hire. However we can point out, why then 1) the two ordinary officers (Heiß and J. B. Gögger) could join, and 2) why the two did not act in the capacity of their original titles.
It is, then, reasonable to assume they were Joseph I's officers. Maxmilian II tried to have his own heralds in 1564, Matthias apparently dismissed his elder brother's heralds. Same could happen in 1690. If it is the case the plan must have been not to make one-shot officers. It however failed for some reason (what was it?) and brought no fruit. Here again there comes the question why the two officers served two monarchs.
In either case the appointments look somewhat arbitrary. In place of Grädel who seems to have had left Hoffourier office, Heiß was raised to the First Reichs (was the Second Reichs, in the appointment in ordinary), and J. B. Gögger who was by far the youngest of the other seven (both ordinary and one-shot in total) heralds occupied the Second Reichs vacatd by Heiß. Haßlingen who also was no more a Hoffourier and Haaß who was never a Hofffourier were both intruded. This means the new and intruding appointments were more to replace the current incumbents (than to provide temporary solution). Just to make an ad-hoc appointment, or to institute a separate heraldic college, this kind of manipulation must have been not necessary. We can assume, behind the screen, there was J. K. Gögger, the Hofquartiermeiser. In 1689 — just before the 1690 one-shot appointments — Johann Christian Wilhelm complained about the appointment of the son of the Hofquartiermeister to the Hungarian herald's position. If there was such a plot, however, why it was reverted (as it seems) in just around one month? Was it jsut because it was hasetedly planned? Plot was there, but the appointments could be made for Joseph I only, was it the case? At any rate, despite or because of the plot (if there was any), in the next century the Hoffourier-herald system (or practice) ended completely. J. K. Gögger remained in office till his death in 1714. His son, J. B. Gögger found his fortune in another branch of the government. In his entire career, the branch of the father's patronage must have occupied little part, which the son left c. 1729. He made a brief come-back in 1740-1 (this deserves another discussion), then left it for the second time. He left this life in 1756, however having had no connection with the heraldic office in his last years.

Gögger and Baier

 J. K. Gögger seems to have had a curious ambition in his career. He was the only person who was known to hold the Hofquartiermeister and herald offices concurrently. His first mention as a herald occurred in Jan. - Feb. 1676. Then his heraldic career must have started c. 1670 to succeed Krautenhuber as Bohemia (if we consider his origin, this was a good coincidence for him). He however participated the 1687 Hungarian coronation as Hungary. He did not, however again, rise to the higher office by promotion. In Apr. 1676, just after J. K. Gögger was first mentioned, there occurred another herald, Johann Conrad Baier. To make a seat available for the latter, someone needed to leave the office. The one must be J. K. Gögger. If we consider the conclusion (so far) brought by the full promotion and the 1660 list precedence, only he could leave and come back without hindering it. If it was J. K. Gögger, it explains J. K. Gögger — Baier — Haßlingen Bohemian succession. Baier died in early 1681 and in the same year Haßlingen occurred as a herald who the latter was Bohemia in 1687. If it was someone else, J. K. Gögger's career did not experience interruption, that means, as he was Hungry in 1687, he reached there by promotion, or from the start he was Hungary. The former violates the conclusion for promotion system, and to make the latter possible, his predecessor Krautenhuber must be Hungary which again interferes with the previous conclusion.
We can check the possibilty for the then four other heralds who however have difficulty to be an option. They are Churelichz, Liedel, Gasser, and Haaß. Churelichz styled himself an Imperial Herald in 1675 and 1676, then his death register in 1681 also styles him as such. HZAB (HZABX, l. 6264) records Liedel as a Reichsherold in 1674, 1676, 1677, 1678, and 1679 (the latter two must be retrospective ones). The other two do not have enough proof for the period under the current concern. However, as for Haaß (unfotunately his record as explicitly a herald in HZABX l. 3702 lacks during the period in concern), he was invariably mentioned as Austria throughout his career. That means if he left the office once, he left Austria once and came back to the exactly same office. It is as if he ceded his office just in favor of Baier. If we need to choose J. K. Gögger or Haaß, the former has more justification. The last one, Gasser first needs to shift the office from (the supposed) Hungary to Reichs in favor of Krautenhuber and J. K. Gögger. And Churelichz needs to shift to Bohemia. Then the Hungarian line will be Krautenhuber (1660-1670) — J. K. Gögger (1670-1689). However, the bigger problem is, how he became a herald again. Yes there is no record for Gasser during Baier's tenure, still, the former was mentioned as a herald in his last year, 1683. However, by that time Haßlingen had already occupied Bohemia since 1681. The only option here is, there is another vacancy caused by Churelichz who died in 1681. The position, i my assumption it was succeded by Heiß, was instead filled by Gasser, and Heiß was appointed on the latter's death in 1683 (see fig. 3a). This makes sense as the latter first occurred as a herald in 1683. However, here again, J. K. Gögger or Gasser, Gasser or Heiß, which story makes more sense? Why do we need to re-consider the 1660 precedence? Or, in 1681, what was Gasser's motivation to come back? In 1679, he was mentioned as geweste hofcastner, that means if he retired from his herald's office, then he must have completely retired from the court. By that time he wanted to keep the more sinecure office, wasn't it the case? Or if he did want to come back, unlike J. K. Gögger (and Heiß also), who, as far as he was a Hoffourier (or Quartiermeister), had always connection with the heraldic office, could Gasser who then did not hold any office, compete with any Hoffourier at that time? (Theoretically there is yet another option which swaps Churelichz and Gasser, making the former Bohemia. See fig. 3b. Again, does this better make sanse?)

Not explicility referred to by TBPX, l. 6561 (not in the Quellenzitat, but Verwandte and Funktion must have referred to this). Note that on 14 Apr. same year Baier was mentioned as Reichs Herold which here brings a conflict, as there was no other seat for them: Liedel, Churelichz, Gasser, Haaß were the then other four officers.

Johann Bernhard Gögger von Löwenegg
DateEventSourceRemarks
1669Was born in this year, assumed by his age at his death (see below).
1689Seems to have succeeded his father as Hungary. See the father's entry. Consistent with HZABX, l. 3268, stating he was a Reichs Herold 1689-07-01. The source is uncertain, maybe HKA, HZAB 1689, fol. 135r, mentioned in l. 3271, Quellenzitat (this line confuses him and his father).
It is unusual that he was made a herald at the age of c. 20. However, his (supposed) father's death place (see his obituary) and the house where the Johann Bernhard who died in 1756 lived in 1719 and subsequent years are identical, there is, then, few doubt the herald and the Hof-Kriegs-Rat are same person. (The latter was Colloman's son, that's why he lived in that house.) It is probably because of this anomaly, [d]er Hoffourier Johann Christian Wilhelm beschwerte sich on this appointment, as reported by Mauer 2013, p.18 n. 90. Also it should be noted that, yes he was a son of a Hof Fourier, but the son himself was never a Hof Fourier.
1690-01-19Incumbent as Second Reichs and mentioned as Ritter deß goldenen Sporens. This is again kind of irregularity — he must have been the youngest of the 5 heralds present at the ceremony (again, if he was born in 1669).
1690-02-24Incumbent as Hungary.
1704Incumbent as Hungary and mentioned as deß H. R. R. Ritter. Regularly mentioned as such till 1729.
1714Mentioned as Kriegssekretär. AT-OeStA/FHKA SUS Fam.A. G-65 Göger, Edler von Lewenegg, Johann Bernhard, Kriegssekretär, kaiserlicher[ ]Ratstitel, 1714.11.30 (Akt (Sammelakt, Grundzl., Konvolut, Dossier, File))
1719Mentioned as Amts-Secretarien at the General-Kriegs-Commissariat-Amt. Regularly mentioned as such in subsequent years and, in 1729, he got promoted (see below). And, from 1722, among his colleagues, there is one Hr. Ignaz von Loͤwenegg who was a Concipist and in this year (I did not transcribed his entry), log. im Stampfischen Hauß / untern Tuchlaͤden. The latter promoted to Amts-Secretär in 1729 and last mentioned in 1737.
1729Last mentioned in the Yearbook (till 1740) as incumbent as Hungary. Between 1731-39, the Hungarian office was vacant. Promotion at the Kriegsrat forced him to retire? However, there was no appointee to fill the vacancy till he came back to the same office after more than 10 years. Then, if there was such few (or in fact, no) task was demanded for the position, why did he not just keep it...? It would not hinder him to perform his duty at the Kriegsrat.
Incumbent as wirklicher Hof-Kriegs-Raht. Regularly mentioned as such down to 1746 (see below).
1740Again incumbent as Hungary.
1741Incumbent as Hungary. VieCPro: Bernhard Gögger von Löwenegg. The source is probably ÖSTA HHStA HA OMeA Protokolle 17 Protokoll in Hofparteiensachen (1741-1744)., fol. 16v, 69v as mentioned in Quellen und Referenzen. Note that, in this year, there was another incumbent mentioned elsewhere. (Bernhard's old age possibly did not allow him to attend the coronation.)
1746Last mentioned as Incumbent as Hof-Kriegs-Rath. In the next Yeabook, 1747 (p.116), I could not find his name. I also tried to find it in that of 1756 (p.133), the year he died, which failed in vain.
1756-12-14Died on this day, at the age of 87. Mentioned as K. K. wuͤrkl. Hof-kriegs-raht. Kirnbauer von Erzstätt, Johann Evangelist, J. Siebmacher's grosses und allgemeines Wappenbuch, 4. Band, 4.

1674-08-01Incumbent as a Hof-FourierHZABX, l. 3948. The source is probably HKA, HZAB 1674, 118, fol. 186v, as mentioned in Quellenzitat. Consistent with Rescher 2016, p.444 (Haslinger, Ferdinand Lorenz von) .

His then office must have been Bohemia, as Austria must have had been occupied by Haaß, and in 1687 Haßlingen was Bohemia means he had been in same office, as, if he had promoted an higher office sometime between 1681-7, how could he step down? Also Mauer 2013, p.18 n. 90 specifically mentions his Bohemian office. Rescher 2016, p.444 also states he was a Bohemian herald.
1687-12-09Incumbent as Bohemia.

Rescher 2016, p.444 also states he left the office in 1689 (the author stated he left to shift to Tabormautner, then, Hof Fourier was an office which cannot be held concurrently with another office, while herald was not so...?). Also in other sources in 1690 till his death, he was never styled as such.

1690-09-01Incumbent as a Hof-Fourier. HZABX, l. 2393. The source is probably HKA, HZAB 1691, 136, fol. 190v-191r, as mentioned in Quellenzitat. Consistent with Rescher 2016, p.442 (Faber Edler von Faborn, Joseph): 23 Jahre Hoffourier, before promoted to Hofquartiermeister in 1714 (see below). However in p.445 the author states his Anstellung to Hoffourier was in 1693. In HZABX, Quellenzitat says he (as Hof-Fourier) occurred in 1692, 3, 4, 7, 8, 9, 1701, 2, 3, and 5 also.

Only in this single occurrence, he was mentioned as such. (Also this is the only mention to any Faber as a herald.) How to understand this? As there are Josef's occurrences from 1690 to 1724 while there is only one occurrence for Jacob, for now I have no other idea than this is just the scriber's mistake. (I know this is an easy option which I shall avoid, but so far there is no other choice.)
1703Must have left his heraldic office. He is the only possible herald to vacate his office for Dausch.
