The Baltic line of the von der Brüggen noble family in Livonia and Courland went back to the tribe of Philip I von der Brüggen from the Duchy of Kleve and Mark , who emigrated around 1485. They then continued in male order:

• Heinrich von der Brüggen († 1501) was Land Marshal in Livonia from 1495 to 1501
• Eberhard (Evert) I was an order vassal of the Teutonic Order in Courland around 1490 ,
  • Philip II († 1556) was a member of the Order Council in the Teutonic Order and Lord of Stenden (in today's Latvia )
    • Eberhard (Evert) II. († 1614) receives 1499 from the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order in Konigsberg a Paßbrief, he was master of Stendel and first marriage to Anne of Dönhoff married
      • Eberhard III. († 1628) was married to Margarethe von Plettenberg . With his offspring in the second branch, the line of those from the Brüggen continued in Courland after 1759.
      • Barthold I († 1631 in Mitau , Kurland) was with Elisabeth von Medem married
        • Philip III († 1661) was Ottilie Elisabeth von der Osten-Sacken married

          • Philip IV († 1671)

Ernst's father was therefore Philip III. von der Brüggen, Lord of Stenden in Courland († 1661), who was married to Ottilie Elisabeth von der Osten-Sacken from the Ilmajen family. He also had a sister. Ernst vd B. was married to Ursula von Sacken, their children were:

• Ernst II von der Brüggen, heir of Stenden († 1726), he was a captain in Grobin and married to Elisabeth von Brüggen (around 1684 - 1757). They had no offspring.
  • Ernst III. († 1759 in Mitau), he was the heir to Stenden, he had no descendants. So the first branch was extinct. The trunk sat in the second branch with the descendants of Eberhard III. away.
