Heritage

Strattners is shaped by a long-established Central European lineage rooted in centuries of stewardship, governance, and institutional responsibility. The firm’s heritage reflects a tradition of continuity, discretion, and disciplined leadership across generations.

This lineage encompasses historic European lordships and hereditary dignities traditionally associated with the houses of Wohlau, Leveville, Auberoche, Montclar, Montbrun, Bidestroff, Mattersdorf-Forchtenstein, Güns, Kőszeg, and Medimurje (Murinsel), together with the associated historic ranks of Count Palatine of the Holy Roman Empire, Ban, and Voivode. The continuity of these hereditary distinctions and their lawful transmission within the family have been formally affirmed through recognized legal proceedings and recorded determinations, confirming long-standing public and peaceable possession of these historic predicates.

Today, Strattners carries this legacy forward through a philosophy of long-term capital stewardship, institutional discipline, and a commitment to building enduring value beyond market cycles.
