Coat of arms of the Brunstein, barons of Brunicki

Brunstein (also: Braunstein , Bronstein or Bernstein ) is the name of a widely ramified family from Southeast Europe. A branch of the family was ennobled in 1815 in the baron class with the predicate of Brunicki (formerly also: von Brunitzky ), which in 1818 became his main name. The Brunicki branch of the family appeared above all with rich property in Galicia and Bukowina and in the Austrian military. Most of the Brunsteins now live in the USA, Canada, Poland, but also in France, Argentina, Norway and Israel.

history

origin

The Brunstein family is of Jewish origin. In Southeastern Europe , in the border area between Romania , Poland and the Ukraine , the Brunstein ramified widely in the middle of the 19th century. At that time, some of them went over to the Catholic or Protestant denomination. The nationality of the individual family members is confusing. Galicia , Bukovina , Bessarabia , Podolia and Moldova are named as home countries , which, under ever changing rulers, with ever changing borders, are among the politically most troubled areas in Europe.

He was the leaseholder of the lighting tax as well as the kosher meat tax and Mr. von Zaleszczyki and Uhrynkowce, as well as the leaseholder and later owner of other estates in Galicia and Bukowina. He applied for the Austrian knighthood as early as 1797, but was rejected with his application. On June 1, 1808, he was baptized a Catholic with the name Ignaz . On payment of double tax of 6,300  .

Chernivtsi branch

Another branch of the Brunstein dynasty lived in Chernivtsi and its immediate vicinity, in Bukovina . A large number of its members stayed in Vienna, capital of the Austro-Hungarian Dual Monarchy, which also included Bukovina, for a shorter or longer period of time. Salomon Brunstein was a landowner in Chernivtsi. His marriage to Agnes came from Dr. jur. Josef Ludwig Brunstein (* 1840, † 1916), knight of the Austrian Franz Joseph Order and the Iron Crown Order 3rd class since 1905 at the latest , with which the hereditary knighthood was connected until 1884.
