Nordenberg (noble family)
The Lords of Nordenberg (lat. De Nortenberg) are an old Franconian noble family, whose name is derived from the ancestral castle of Nordenberg in Franconia . As imperial government officials, the Nordenberg carried the hereditary title “ kitchen master ” (i.e. Reich kitchen master ). They were a branch line of the Lords of Rothenburg . Lupoldus von Rothenburg, the son of the Rothenburg master chef Heinrich I von Rothenburg, can be accepted as the progenitor.
In the Golden Bull of Charles IV of 1356, the chefs from Nordenberg are mentioned twice. Emperor Karl IV decreed, among other things, "... the kitchen master of Nordenberg should be the horse and the bowl of the Pfaltz-Count near Rhein" .
Carl Friedrich Colland tells the legend of the origin of the von Nordenberg family in the book “Historical news, explained by coats of arms, of the old Franconian family: the Lords of Nordenberg, des Heil. Rome. Reich's former hereditary chefs and their blood friends and relatives, on several completeness of the Franconian and Swabian history, also on further historical explanations of the golden bull, published by Carl Friedrich Colland ” .
