history

In the Ancien Régime, the Henzi from Orpund belonged mainly to the parish priests for generations , individual branches were bakers , red tanners and tailors and silk weavers . Two members of the family got on the grand council. In the 19th century the family produced several notaries . With the conviction of Henzi, the descendants of Samuel Henzi lost the Bernese civil rights. The Austrian general Heinrich Henzi was raised to the nobility in 1844 and applied for the banishment to be lifted and for the citizens to be reinstated in Bern. The branch on the Zunft zum Mohren was founded by Samuel Henzi's brother, the silk weaver Gottlieb Henzi (1714–1736).
