Steinaecker (noble family)
Steinaecker is the name of a German noble family.
history
The family originally came from Styria . In the course of the Reformation , the Steinaeckers became Protestant and therefore emigrated to more northern parts of the empire.
The three brothers Otto Johann, Joachim and Christoph were born in Vienna in 1637 by Emperor Ferdinand III. because of her services in the Thirty Years' War and those of her father Dietrich in the fight against the Turks in Hungary raised to the imperial nobility.
All Steinaeckers living today are descended from Otto Johann. Since the beginning of the 19th century, two lines of the family have been distinguished, named after the estates on which they were based: Steinaecker-Brumby (after Brumby in the province of Saxony) and Steinaecker-Rosenfelde (after Rosenfelde in Western Pomerania). The Brumby line has been extinct in the male line since 1963.
