context_page_description: Bibran-Modlau was a Silesian noble family which was raised to Reichsfreiherr 1624.
  One source reports that the family descends from a Sigmund von Bibra who traveled to Silesia in the 11th century, however the different coat of arms casts doubt on the connection. The description with the published print of Schloss Modlau describes the Bibran family as having split off from the Franconia Bibras five hundred years ago. By 1480 Modlau and Profen were already in possession of the family. At the end of the family, it was centered at Reisicht and Modlau, in present-day Poland. Prominent members of the family were: Friedrich Heinrich von Bibran-Modlau, Abraham von Bibran Kittlitztreben und Woitsdorf, and Sigismund Heinrich von Bibran-Modlau who was one of the largest land owner in Silesia.
