 Germany
Bavaria, Germany is the ancestral home of the Bemberg family. The Bemberg surname evolved as a local name for a family that lived in the city of Bamberg in Bavaria. Formerly called Upper Franconia and later a part of Prussia, Bamberg was the capital of a powerful ecclesiastical state between 1007 and 1702. In Bavaria, the Bemberg family was prominent in social affairs and it formed alliances with other families under the Feudal System. The family name Bemberg can be traced back to the Middle Ages, when Bavaria was a region characterized by feudalism, knighthood, and court intrigue. During these turbulent feudal times, when political and religious alliances changed frequently, heroic battles over power, prestige, and territory were fought by competing noble families. Early Origins of the Bemberg familyThe surname Bemberg was first found in Franconia, where this family name became a prominent contributor to the development of the district from ancient times. Saint Otto of Bamberg (German: Otto von Bamberg, Polish: Otton z Bambergu) (c. 1060-1139) was a medieval German bishop and missionary who, as papal legate, converted much of Pomerania to Christianity. He was Chancellor of the Holy Roman Empire in 1101 Early History of the Bemberg familyThis web page shows only a small excerpt of our Bemberg research.
