The Seyler family (also spelled Seiler) is a Swiss family, originally a patrician family from Liestal near Basel. Family members served as councillors and Schultheißen of Liestal from the 15th century, later also as members of the Grand Council of Basel. A Hamburg branch descended from the banker and renowned theatre director Abel Seyler became by marriage a part of the Berenberg banking dynasty, co-owners of Berenberg Bank and part of Hamburg's ruling class of Hanseaten. ==History== Among the earliest known family members are Johannes Seyler, who was a councillor in Liestal in 1445, and Martin Seyler, a Schultheiß (mayor) of Liestal in 1477. Balthasar Seyler (died 1460) was a canon and dean of the Stift of St. Peter.〔"(Seyler )," in ''Allgemeines Helvetisches, Eydgenössisches, Oder Schweitzerisches Lexicon'' (1747–1765), XVII, pp. 42–45〕 Magister Friedrich Seyler (1603–1676), a native of Basel, first served as parish priest of Bichwyl and Lütisburg in St. Gallen, later as teacher and rector of the ''Schule auf Burg'' gymnasium in Basel, and then again as parish priest, and obtained the Basel burghership in 1670.〔〔"(Friedrich Seiler )," in ''Supplement zu dem allgemeinen helvetisch-eidgenöszischen oder schweizerischen lexicon'', Vol. 5, 1791, pp. 485–487.〕〔Peter Werenfelß; Nicolaus Gürtlerus; Joh Henricus Hofmannus; Friederich Seyler; Joh Jacobus Übelin, ''Christliche Leich-predigt von dem Ampt und künfftigen Herrlichkeit der Lehreren in Kirchen vnd Schulen; Gehalten den 2.
