Dörnberg (noble family)
The barons of Dörnberg belong to the Hessian nobility. They have belonged to the Althessian knighthood that still exists today since its foundation. Since 1732 the family held the court office of the hereditary kitchen master (this corresponds to the Truchsess or Seneschal ) in the Landgraviate of Hesse .
