The Dittlinger family was a Bernese patrician family belonging to the Zunftgesellschaft zu Schmieden .

history

The family, possibly from Tittling , Dittlingen or Dittligen (formerly the municipality of Längenbühl ), was first recorded in Bern with the widow Greda Tittlinger in the Udelbuch around 1400. In 1431 the kessler Clewi Dittlinger received the mill in Sulgenbach as a fief from Anna von Krauchthal . Clewi became a member of the Grand Council in 1435. His three sons Hans, Heinrich and Ludwig also all made it to the Grand Council. The Kannengiesser Heinrich Dittlinger belonged to the Middle Lions Society by 1475 at the latest . Ludwig Dittlinger became a member of the Small Council and was from 1480 to 1497 Venner for forging. In the 17th century, the people of Dittling were no longer represented in the Grand Council, held subordinate municipal offices (land clerk, Weinschenk, Weibel) or took up the profession of notary or pastor. The majority of the family members practiced the professions Kessler, Kannengiesser, Sporer, Hafner etc. In 1745, Anton Albrecht Dittlinger (1704–1780) became the last family member to join the Grand Council.

Karl Victor Gerhard Dittlinger (1787–1864) joined the Dutch army in 1830 and founded a family branch in Holland that died out around 1970.

The Dittlingerturm , built in 1345 and demolished in 1825, north of today's Heiliggeistkirche in Bern, was named after the Dittlinger family.
