Lorber or Lorbeer is a surname with German roots (Lorbeer means Laurel
in German).
(“Lorbeer”) and could therefore refer to an activity as a spice merchant.
and among the servants of the Prince Bishops
.
The family was found up to the Secularization
of the Prince-Bishopric of 1802 among the leading offices of the Bishopric
and the Council of the City. The last known name carrier was Ignatz Nepomuck Lorber von Störchen (1788-1857). The street name "Lorbersgasse" in Bamberg is keeping the memory of the distinct family.
These Franconian
, later Bavarian
noble family was mentioned the first time in 1394 : A certain Clas or Niklas Lorber is known as a master chef of the Prince-Bishop Lamprecht von Brunn. The historian Konrad Arneth expressed the assumption that there may be a connection to a (still existing) farmer familybranch from Stübig
. Therefore it might be possible that the name (after the spice "bay
"), is associated with this task as cook.
The family remained in the service of the Prince Bishops and quickly rose through the ranks to able-bodied citizens of the city council. 1412 is Clas Lorber (perhaps the chef said) named as mayor of Bamberg.
The family seems to have come quickly to prosperity in addition to their position in the Council. 1445 the family donated a chapel dedicated to Saint Pancras of Rome. 1462 on today's "Am Kranen 14" - the former town port on the banks of the Regnitz
- the "Kupferhof der Lorber" (copper-yard) was mentioned. This the copper
trading post remained at least until 1635 in family ownership.
1546 Pankraz Lorber is listed as owner of the “Haus unter den Störchen” ("house among the storks") in today's "Dominikanerstraße 4". Meanwhile, this building is located in the well-known Bamberg inn, the "Schlenkerla
".
Remaining for generations among the leading families of Bamberg, it was granted to the peerage at September 1st, 1571 by Emperor Maximilian II
. The document then lists the five surviving sons of Pankraz Lorber as the receivers of the diploma. In the course of the survey the arms of the family had been relieved. The Shield (five silver lilies on a red shield) remained, the ridge has been replaced by a coronet, which were originally silver buffalo horns in the crest now alternately red and silver divided and among them was another silver lily added .
To differentiate from other lines of bourgeois and peasant Lorber-named cousins, the family took the name "Lorber von Störchen". The epithet may refer to either the first known residents of the Austraße 33 (but of 1571 no longer inhabited by the family) or the aforementioned "Haus unter den Störchen" in the Dominkanerstraße. This property was sold in 1677 to the Dominican Order
.
Michael Lorber von Störchen, a son of one of the brothers ennobled, wrote a family chonicle in 1613. The family treasures included a silver bowl "of 2 marks and 1 ounce of weight," which Michael, Pancraz and Jobst Justus Lorber decreed in her will. The bowl showed the arms of the Lorber and closely related Haller-family, and the oldest of the family should be inherited .
The Lorber’s over the centuries produced many scholars, especially the lawyers and Councillors Thomas Johann Jakob Lorber of storks (1695-1734) or his son Johann Nepomuk Ignatz Christoph Lorber of storks (1725-1797).
The feud of the family were scattered across the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg. In addition to houses and fields in Bamberg, possessions were also mentioned in Zeil am Main
and Scheßlitz
. Last family seat was the "Lorberhof" on Jakobsplatz 15 in Bamberg. Unlike the still surviving (albeit uncommon) house name suggests, it was only a few decades in the hands of the family and is now the “Don Bosco St. Joseph's home” as a youth accommodation.
With the end of the Prince-Bishopric of Bamberg
and the integration of the city into the Kingdom of Bavaria
in 1803, the importance of the family seems to disappear. The last known representatives of the family of storks were Ignaz Nepomuck Lorber (1788-1857), a royal Bavarian captain, who died on 1857, 3 June and his sister Elisabetha von Poschinger, born von Lorber (1790-1859). Ignaz Nepomuck describes himself, in his application for recognition of his noble title, which he addressed to the King of Bavaria, as the last male heir of his family . He and his wife Maria Karolina Kreß von Kressenstein left behind a daughter, Maria Caroline Helena, whose traces disappear after her marriage to Ferdinand Freiherr von zu Rhein 1883 in Augsburg
