history

origin

Friedrich Bartholomäus Wernigk von St. Ingbrecht (1653-1716), son of Bartholomäus Wernigk , who was bailiff of Meisenheim and already held the highest positions at the court of Pfalz-Zweibrücken, appears as the first member of the family . Friedrich Bartholomäus Wernigk, later from St. Ingbrecht, was secretary to the Duchess of Palatinate Simmern in Meisenheim in 1684. Then he was privy councilor of the Palatinate-Zweibrücken and was elevated to the hereditary old imperial knighthood on February 21, 1709 by the emperor with the surname of St. Ingbrecht. With the imperial knighthood, the family received the Aspach and Schönhof in the area around Zweibrücken. His wife was Johanna Colliet du Viver from Metz.

Spread and lines

In addition to the line raised to the nobility, the Wernigk family continued to exist as a civil branch without the nickname of St. Ingbrecht. Since the family had been followers of this since the beginning of the Reformation, many Reformed pastors emerged from the bourgeois line, such as B. Carl Ludwig Wernigk Pastor of Meisenheim. The Wernigk von St. Ingbrecht family finally died out in the male line in 1816. The descendants of the family still live in the Palatinate to this day.
