Brömsen (also Brömbsen, Brömmsen, Brömsen, Broemsen, Brömse or Bröms) is the family name of a Baltic noble family whose origins can be found in Lüneburg and Lübeck or Jönköping . In Livonia , the name can be traced back to Johann von Brömsen , who was mayor in Dorpat and who died in 1684.

history

The different description of the origin, which according to Swedish sources is based on a Jöran Jönsson Bröms († 1663) from Jönköping in Sweden and begins in German sources with a Brömbsen family from Lüneburg , unite according to both descriptions with Johann von Brömsen , the mayor of Dorpat , today's Tartu in Estonia . Thus, he is considered to be the common progenitor of the Baltic noble family von Brömsen.

" Broembsen . An ancient noble family, and partly a baron family in Holstein and Franconia, where it belongs to the immediate imperial knighthood of the Steigerwald district. The news about the name and origin of this thriving family is mixed with traditions, and not all of the Lübeck and Lüneburg historians have the same wording. "

Swedish variant

According to older information, the sex should have its origin in Livonia, but modern research indicates that the family came from Jönköping and the oldest ancestor is Jöran Jönsson Bröms († 1663), a boiler maker.

His son Johannes Bröms († 1684) was born on June 16, 1678 in the Swedish headquarters of King Charles XI. (1655–1697) knighted under the name "von Bröms" . He then changed his family name to "von Brömsen" and was registered on March 11, 1680 under the registration number 932 in the Swedish knight's house . On March 11, 1778, the Swedish family was accepted into the, reinstated, second knight class. From the Livonian line of Johann Brömsen, two Swedish branches formed, from which some members moved to Russia , while one branch remained in Livonia and later in Estonia .

The Brömbsen family, according to the German genealogical description, probably came from Lüneburg and came via Lübeck to Reval , today's Tallinn . The naming began with Heinrich von der Netze, who had married Margarethe Brömse († 1356) in Lüneburg in 1342. His son Diedrich is named in his will as "filius Margarethae, sororis M. Thiderici Broemes" and, according to his uncle's decree, had adopted his mother's family name, ie "Diedrich von der Netze called Brömse". He was a councilor in Lüneburg in 1371 and had been married since 1397. Their son Diedrich Brömse († 1460) was also a councilor in Lüneburg from 1433 to 1460 and married to Gesike Töbing.
