Hombergk zu Vach (noble family)

The sex of Hombergk to Vach dates back to the Civil althessische Gender Hombergk from the city Homberg back. Tobias Hombergk, a Hessian councilor and teacher of Landgrave Moritz , was enfeoffed by him on January 9, 1596 with the village of Vach, now Kleinvach . This is how the House of Hombergk zu Vach was founded. His great-grandson Johann Philipp Anton Hombergk zu Vach achieved imperial nobility on June 23, 1718 .
