Dear lord

history
The lineage of the family begins in the 16th century with Joachim Liebeherr , a merchant from Stargard , who was married to Anna Fahrenholz , daughter of the Szczecin councilor (1541–1568) Gerd Fahrenholz . The Rostock mayor in 1663/81, Matthäus Liebeherr, was a great-grandson of the Stargard merchant. In 1703 Matthäus Heinrich Liebeherr (1664–1714) from Kolberg became a member of the city council of Stettin, in 1714 he was treasurer .
His son of the same name, Matthias Heinrich Liebeherr (1693–1749), was elected mayor of Stettin in 1727 and in 1731 he was raised to hereditary imperial nobility by Emperor Franz I. In 1745 he bought the Woitfick estate in the Pyritzschen district. His younger son Karl Albrecht von Liebeherr (1726–1793) was a councilor in Pomerania. Bogislaw Friedrich von Liebeherr was Royal Swedish Tribunal Assessor from 1740–1751 and Gustav Friedrich von Liebeherr was Prussian War and Domain Councilor in Silesia in 1740/51 .
