Alnpeck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alnpeck (Allnpeck) was the name of a German ministerial and patrician family . The Alnpecks were based in Freiberg in Saxony from the 15th century .

origin

The name Alnpeck comes from the place name “Ellenbach”, which transformed via “Elnbach” to “Alnpeck”.

According to Snethlage, the Alnpeck were originally Regensburg Ministeriale and had their headquarters in today's Oberellenbach (municipality of Mallersdorf-Pfaffenberg , Lower Bavaria) in the Landshut area . The line of ancestors begins with Conrad Alnpeck zu Alnpach around 1290. Stephan von Alnpeck (the elder), a merchant first in Landshut, then in Passau and Regensburg, moved to Freiberg in Saxony in the middle of the 15th century and was involved in the local silver mining. He was councilor and mayor there for 37 years. Through his great-granddaughter Elisabeth von Alnpeck , he even became the ancestor of Tsarina Catherine the Great (1729–1796).
