Berg is the name of a noble family from Lower Saxony . Branches of the family persist to this day.

history

The lineage of the family begins Veit vom Berg , also: Vitus de Monte (* 1541; † 1610), who was a pastor in Rüdisbronn, Middle Franconia . In 1838 the Grand Ducal Oldenburg Secret Council Dr. jur. Günther von Berg (* 1765; † 1843) was promoted to the status of Austrian baron . In the same year there was the Oldenburg recognition of the nobility for the Oldenburg privy councilor, state and cabinet minister. His son Edmund Freiherr von Berg (* 1800; † 1874) was the royal Hanoverian chief forester in Lauterberg and received the Hanoverian nobility recognition in 1844.

In 1890, the Baden nobility was also recognized for the pharmacist in Offenburg, Philipp von Berg . Even for the descendants of the Grand Duke of Baden's Privy Councilor Eberhard Friedrich von Berg (* 1776, † 1843), the nobility in Baden was not objected to.

The relationship between the Baden tribe and the Oldenburg-Hanoverian tribe could not be determined, nor could the social status (noble or middle-class) of the family before 1838.
