Salomon pepper

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Peppers from Salomon are a Lower Rhine family who moved from Düsseldorf to Neuss in the middle of the 17th century, from there to Geldern in 1783 and from whom Friedrich Pfeffer married Josephine von Salomon, the daughter of Ludwig Cassian von Salomon , in 1813 . Their son Ferdinand Pfeffer, a Prussian Rittmeister, was taken over by his uncle, the Royal Prussian Major a. D. Felix von Salomon, adopted. The King of Prussia raised the adoptive son to the Prussian nobility on July 14, 1862, who thus became the progenitor of the new epistolary family "Pfeffer von Salomon". In the Third Reich the family name was changed to "von Pfeffer".
