history

The family comes from Kilian Zeumer, who was mentioned in the floor register of Langensalza in Thuringia as a resident citizen in 1528 , had been a treasurer since 1567 and died as mayor of Langensalza in 1575 .

His great-grandson Kaspar III. Zeumer (1613–1692) studied law in Rostock , then went to Sweden and in 1652 became assessor of the Pernauza regional court ( Livonia ), 1657 secretary of the Livonian knighthood and subsequently district judge and court judge assessor . In 1667, 1674 and 1676 he acquired the Blumbergshof, Fianden and Grundsal estates in Livonia and was elected district administrator in 1686. Kaspar III was ennobled in Sweden on October 31, 1662. In 1684, King Charles XI confirmed . von Sweden (1655–1697) the nobility with the predicate "von Ceumern" and extended it to his nephews Christian (1671–1695) and Johann Kaspar (1615–1706).

Johann Kaspar von Ceumern was followed in the male line by Gustav († 1747) and his sons Adam Burchard (founder of the Orgishof-Breslau house, 1727–1789) and Karl Ernst (founder of the Tirsen house, 1734–1791). Johann Kaspar's second son Magnus Johann (* 1690) and his son Karl Magnus I (1730–1772) are the ancestors of the Russian line (фон Цеймерны).

After his marriage to Sophia Elisabeth von Lindenstjerna (1727–1795), Adam Burchhard von Ceumern had the name of his wife as an addition, so he and his descendants continued to use the name Ceumern-Lindenstjerna to this day. His brother Karl Ernst von Ceumern ran the Tirsen house, he was chamberlain to Tsar Peter III. (1728–1762), Russian brigadier and was raised to the Russian hereditary nobility as a baron on February 25, 1762 . The recognition of the Russian nobility title baron - for both houses - was made by Senatsukas on December 7, 1854.
