The genus probably originated from Thuringia and held alodiální land in the western foothills of the Harzu and durynských Oak fields. During the wars, which led Charles I. The great with the Saxons, were his members on the side of the franského of the sovereign, for which they received in Saxony fief of another land and apparently even different offices. Even Liudolfův origin is not entirely clear. Was born in 805 or 806. As his parents are referred to the margrave Bruno (or Brunhard) and Gisela of Verla. According to other sources she was his mother, Addida, daughter of the saxon magnate Ekberta and saint Ida of Herzfeldu.

The under then prospered under the energetic leadership of his daughters, and that on the original site after the translation to the nearby Gandersheimu in the year 881. Liudulf led východosaské troops in the fighting Louis II. German against the Vikings and Polabským the Slavs and used to be sometimes referred to as the duke of east Saxony (dux orientalium Saxonum), or the duke ostfálského.
