'''In der Maur''' (also written as '''In der Mauer''', '''Indermaur''', '''Indermauer''') is a Swiss family. Throughout the [[Middle Ages]] and [[Renaissance]], members of the family held political offices in [[Berneck, St. Gallen]]. The '''In der Maur von Berneck''' family were first granted a [[Achievement (heraldry)|coat of arms]] in 1478, when Hermann In der Maur was appointed as the [[Amtmann|Ammann]] of Berneck of the [[Abbey of Saint Gall|Abbot of St. Gallen]]. Members of the family also served as Imperial tax collectors and as clerks of the Court of Berneck. The first member of the family to hold the position of Ammann in Berneck was Ulrich In der Maur in 1435.

A member of the Bernecker branch, Hans Indermaur, settled in [[Rheineck]] in 1590, where his descendants were granted [[fiefdoms]]. The '''Indermaur von Rheineck''' family were granted a coat of arms in 1685, first used by Johann In der Maur, and members of this family served as magistrates and clerks of the Court of Rheineck.

A cadet branch of the family based in [[South Tyrol]], '''In der Maur auf Strehlburg und zu Freifeld''', was elevated to the [[Gentry|lower nobility]] in [[Kurtatsch an der Weinstraße]] by [[Rudolf II, Holy Roman Emperor]] in 1601. They were previously granted coats of arms in 1479, 1491, and 1586.

== History ==
The In der Maur family originated in the [[Rhaetian Alps]] in [[Switzerland]], descending from the [[Alemanni]]. The surname from the [[German language]], translates to "in the wall", possibly referring to a [[fortress]], [[defensive wall]], or a geographic [[Moorland|moor]].{{sfn|Dixon|1857|p=39}} The main branches of the family settled within the territory of the [[Holy Roman Empire]] that is now [[Eastern Switzerland]], Southern [[Austria]] and [[Northern Italy]].
