Osterberg (noble family)
The Lords of Osterberg (also Osterperg ) were a Bohemian noble family who were knighted in 1674 and in 1739 by Emperor Karl VI. was raised to the baron rank.
There were also other noble families of the same name, such as the Osterberg (er), a branch of the Gallenberg, after the Osterberg Castle (today in Sostro near Laibach) or the Pasqualati von Osterberg.
history
The later knights or barons of Osterberg came from a Venetian merchant family who settled in Bohemia around 1600 and became rich through trade and services. Jeremias Paschasius Osterberger is said to have been a citizen of Troppau and councilor. His son Daniel Paschasius von Osterberg was in imperial service and in 1665 was imperial councilor and assessor of the royal rights of men in the Bohemian hereditary principality of Glogau . On July 21, 1674, Emperor Leopold I raised him to the knighthood with the title "von Osterberg". His sons Johann Anton and Franz Laubert were born on October 26th, 1739 by Emperor Karl VI. raised to the bohemian baron class. With the grandson Emanuel von Osterberg, who died in Niederhannsdorf in 1761 , the barons of Osterberg died out.
Johann Michael Adam and his sister Johanna Maria were given the status of baron by the Emperor Charles V on March 2, 1712 with von Osterberg . In the Bavarian aristocratic registers the barons von Osterberg, grandsons of Johann Michael, are named: Anselm (* 1750), Herr auf Osterberg and Bichel, former kk Austrian forester in Burgau, and Fidel (* 1752), k. bayer. Forest master of Dorfen.
