The Strattner family has a significant historical connection in Hungary, Germany and Austria and to Frankenburg in 1625 during the Counter-Reformation in Austria. Georg Christoph Strattner, born around 1645 in Gols, Hungarian Burgenland (now part of Austria), was a notable German church musician, composer, and hymn writer of the Baroque era. Strattner, active during the late 17th century, made significant contributions as a church musician, composer, and hymn writer. He spent a substantial part of his career in Weimar. Though there is no direct interaction between Johan Sebastian Bach and Strattner due to the difference in their lifetimes, Bach’s work in Weimar did occur in the same musical environment that Strattner had influenced​. In the late 17th century, the descendants of Georg Christoph Strattner, noted for his musical contributions in Weimar, found themselves woven into the political fabric of the Holy Roman Empire through a series of some unfortunate events but also fortunate and strategic alliances. During a critical period of succession disputes and political unrest the Strattner descendants migrated to parts of France mainly Alsace and Provence but also in region of Wohlau (now Wołów, Poland). The House of Strattner holds noble titles through a combination economic and legal victories, cultural patronage, crucial alliances, securing their place in history..
