Berthold and Haunold, two brothers, came with the Silinger tribe AD 400 from Vaestagoteland and Juteland (South Sweden and Denmark) to Silesia. The tribe settled south of the mount which was then called Siling (Zobten-Berg) after the tribe. Berthold, the leader of the tribe, was related by marriage to the Westgoten King Alarich. From him, Berthold got his war signs, the helmet and 7 point moose horns. Both signs were used later in the family coat of arms. Haunold had hi homestead 1/4 day against midday from Berthold's place. Both places became villages, named Bertholdsdorf and Haunold in the district Reichenbach in Silesia.
At the summit of the Siling, the tribe had a religious fire place, on big rocks, runes, in the field until the 19th century, when farmers used the rocks for foundations.
From A.D. eleven hundred, the family name has been Heimlich (in the old times the name was often Heymlich), with the addon of Der Silinger to show the direct ancestor Berthold Der Silinger. In war against the Slav's AD 1157, the clan fought under Kaiser Barbarossa (with the big red beard). The clan lost many members, AD 1241, with the Duke Heinrich II of Silesia, against the Mongols. Herman, the leader of the clan, was killed in the Battle of Wahlstatt, Liegnitz, Silesia, on April 9th, 1241, along with many others of the clan. Only three came home, badly wounded. In the 30 years of religious war (The Heimlich der Silinger clan fought on the Protestant side), the first family tree was destroyed, burned with the old stronghold (in 1642?). Only the coat of arms from AD 1427 was saved. The Black Pest took many members of the clan - the Haunold branch died out. In the 14th/15th Century, Silesia had been under Polish regents for a time, and the family was offered a Polish Baronet, with the name Von Silinsky-Pogoda. The clan refused this offer. The clan also was against the later Austrian Regents, because the Austrian Catholic government treated the Silesian Protestants very badly. Hans-Diethold H d S and 4 other silesian Protestants went to King Karl of Sweden for help and protection against the Austrian government. They got protection and also 6 churches for the Silesian Protestants.
The beginning of the second family tree was written down from memory by Andreas Heimlich d.S., Assistant Mayor of the city of Striegau in Silesia. He also made copies of the Nordic Runes from the rocks in Bertholdsdorf.
Silesia in 1945 (by the end of W.W.II) was occupied by Russian troops under the Yalta agreement between Roosevelt for America, Churchill for England, and Stalin for Russia. Silesia was put under Polish administration. Over 4 million German-Silesians were driven out of their home country, losing everything. Thousands were murdered by Russians and Polish. The Alsace-Greman Province was cut off from Germany and taken by France.
