Early Origins of the Bauch family

The surname Bauch was first found in Alsace and Franconia, where the name could be considered to have made a great early contribution to the feudal society which became the backbone of early development of Europe. The name became prominent in local affairs and branched into many houses which played important roles in the savage tribal and national conflicts, each group seeking power and status in an ever changing territorial profile.

Sigmund von Bock was Bishop of Cammin in Pomerania in 1446.
