history
The family of that name seems to come from the Duchy of Pomerania after Hall to be migrated and was first mentioned in the 15th century with Peter Dead Ringers as panner in Halle. A connection to Gut Unseburg (Unsenburg) in the south of the Magdeburg Börde cannot be clearly proven. His son Urban became a barefoot monk in the monastery in Halle, while his brother Wilhelm - Pfänner zu Halle and since 1495 on the city council - donated the Untzerische Geistliche Beneficium in the St. Ulrichs Church in 1513 . His son Andreas Unzer became councilor in 1552 and his grandson, the Halle city physician Matthias Untzer (Untzerus, Unzeri) (1581-1624) issued the plague ordinance for the city of Halle in 1607. He was a member of a noble council family and was accordingly able to afford a medical degree at the universities of Leipzig , Tübingen and Padua .
Further descendants were the court counselor and country cavalier Johann Christoph Unzer (d'Unzer) (1714–1773), also personal physician of Count Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode , married to Charlotte Eleonore, daughter of the b. Countess Christiane Luise zu Sayn-Wittgenstein . Charlotte Eleonore's stepsister, Sophie Charlotte, married Count Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Wernigerode on March 31, 1712. His eldest son of the same name, Johann Christoph Unzer (1747–1809), was also an esteemed doctor and practiced for a while with his well-known uncle Johann August Unzer (1727–1799) in Altona. His younger brother Ludwig August Unzer (1748–1774) became a poet and art judge.
In the Genealogical-Historical News of 1748, Leipzig, the following incident is described: “Stanislaus Alexander Joseph, Count von Sulkowski , Koenigl. Pohlnisch and Kuhr-Saechsischer Chamberlain and Major General, married on January 16, 1748 in Dresden with Augustina Sibylla Christina, widowed by Richard, bored Unzerin von Unzenburg. He is a brother of the well-known Count von Sulkowski, who was otherwise in great esteem at the Dresden court ”.
Moritz Johann Gottlieb Freiherr von Untzer (1765–1821) District Administrator and Landkavalier ( Chevalier ) as well as District Administrator of the Bochum district and holder of the Knight's Cross of the French Legion of Honor ( Chevalier de la Légion d'Honneur ).
Theodora Unzer (1820–1899), a granddaughter of Johann Christoph Unzer, married Dr. Georg Julius von Schultz.
Around 1857 there was a captain von Unzer (von Unser) in the royal Prussian 17th Infantry Regiment and a chamber judge v. Ounce.
