Since the middle of the twelfth century, the members of the clan always called themselves one of the defensive buildings belonging to them, but mostly after their tribe seat. The first knight who called themselves "of Lobming" were, in May 1149 to Friesach called. The Knights of Lobming were located in the castle of Altlobming (today Sulzbachgraben). Numerous legends and tales are ruling around the Knights of Lobming, which had a dominant position in the first half of the fifteenth century. After the extinction of the knights of Lobming, King Friedrich II handed over the rule of Großlobming to Wolfgang Zach. Afterwards the Knights of Praunfalk owned the castle Großlobming for a time. The second defensive structure remained with the Welzern and was sold in 1499 to the cousins Hans and Erasmus of Saurau. On 14 September 1730 the area Großlobming was sold to Siegmund Count Welfersheim. The next resale was on April 23, 1755 to Spital am Pyhrn, which sold the rule immediately to Count Franz Josef Wurmbrand. In 1827, Josef Sessler bought the Großlobming estate from Wurmbrand's bankruptcy. On September 1, 1866 replaced Viktor Sessler the nobility and knighthood.
