Boxberger and Boxberg is the name of an originally Franconian aristocratic family , whose lineage began with Dietrich Bocksperg around 1450.

Nobility uprisings

Over the centuries in which no use was made of the conferred nobility, the Franconian family split into two or three separate lines:

Boxberger (Franconia)

Martin Bocksperger (* 1539) is considered the progenitor of the Franconian line .

Boxberg (Austria)

The progenitor of the Austrian line is Wilhelm Bocksperger (1542–1608) from Königshofen , later Nuremberg, where he married Catharina Lindner for the first time, who died a year later in childbed. It was not until May 22, 1590 that he married Ursula Rosenhardt, called Glockengießer, for the second time, with whom he fathered 6 children, all of whom were baptized in Nuremberg. (See his surviving funeral sermon, a portrait , derived from a copper engraving, Merkel collection Nuremberg and Johannisfriedhof Nuremberg.)

Boxberg (Saxony)

Belonging to the above-mentioned family of the same name could be proven. Wilhelmm Boxberger (1542–1608) is considered to be the progenitor of the Saxon line . From Nuremberg he operated mining in Graslitz in the Bohemian Ore Mountains. During the Counter-Reformation, his sons moved to the nearby Electorate of Saxony and founded the town of Klingenthal and Untersachsenberg, and in 1635 they founded the first Evangelical Lutheran church in Klingenthal. The Untersachsenberg line later established the emigrated branch in Austria-Hungary ( Vienna ).
