Martin Joseph Bauer: Family portrait of Freiherr von Mantey-Dittmer's children from second marriage (around 1809)

The successful Regensburg merchant and banker Georg Friedrich von Dittmer (1727-1811), who came from Pomerania and made great fortune through trading in salt, wine and Austrian mining products, received his diploma on February 17, 1781 with the title Edler von raised to the imperial and hereditary Austrian nobility . Of his 10 children, only two sons and two daughters grew up and the two sons also died unmarried in 1795. At the same time, with his cousin the Regensburg banker Friedrich Mantey, who also came from Pomerania and who also became his son-in-law after the marriage of Dittmer's daughter Elisabeth , Georg Friedrich von Dittmer was raised to the rank of imperial knighthood on March 14, 1789 with the stipulation that Mantey should also bear the name Edler von Dittmer in the future .

On November 25, 1800, Emperor Franz II. Georg Friedrich von Dittmer and his - after the interim marriage of their second daughter - two sons-in-law and their descendants raised to the status of imperial baron with the title of imperial baron von Dittmer .
