In 1558, Johann von Birgel was named after him. He left behind three daughters. The youngest of them, named "Coda", married Peter von der Ehren and passed Birgel on to her son Johann von der Ehren.
He rebuilt the destroyed castle and created the complex, the layout of which has been preserved to this day.
