Forster from Philippsberg
The Forster von Philippsberg are a noble family of the letter nobility .
A Forster family, a family name that is widely represented in the German-speaking area, came from the area of the later Grand Duchy of Posen , from which an imperial field captain received a nobility diploma from Emperor Maximilian I on July 5, 1508 . As his descendants, the royal Bavarian Chamberlain and Rittmeister of the Guard-Du-Corps on horseback Gottfried Ernst Forster von Philippsberg was confirmed for himself and his family by the Bavarian crown of the nobility and the coat of arms with the predicate "von Philippsberg" on March 18, 1823 .
Today the family is divided into three lines who live in Austria, Bavaria and Switzerland, about whose namesake nothing is known.
A relationship to the Bohemian-Austrian civil servant and minister Zdenko von Forster zu Philippsberg (1860–1922), whose father Emanuel received the nobility status as "von Forster" in 1873 and who was raised to the baron rank with the predicate "von Phillipsberg" since 1909, is not to be proven.
