Rosenberg-Gruszczynski (noble family)

Family coat of arms Poraj derer Gruszczynski

Rosenberg-Gruszczynski is the name of an originally Polish , later Prussian noble family .

history

The Gruszczynski are an old Polish family that can presumably be traced back to the Slavnikids and whose progenitor Johann, the brother of St. Adalbert , is said to have been. Under the pressure of persecution from the Přemyslids , he left Bohemia and went to Poland. His son is said to have acquired the rule of Gruszczyce near Kalisch , after which the family borrowed their name. The established family line of the sex begins with Jan Gruszczynski († after 1430). In Poland, the Gruszczynski were able to occupy influential positions on several occasions, including some castellans and senators .

The family came to Prussia through the marriage of the Polish major general and adjutant general Franz von Rosenberg-Gruszczynski (1721–1792) with Sophie Countess Rittberg (1742–1809), who gave him the Littschen estate . Here, due to the presumably the same ancestry, she took the name of the Bohemian Lords von Rosenberg, who died in 1611 . The Chamberlain and Hereditary Lord on Klötzen Johann Anton Franz von Rosenberg-Gruszczynski († 1817) was elevated to the Prussian baron status on September 4, 1809 with the name of Rosenberg .
