Timroth

The first records of the family are from the beginning of the 17th century, when Heinrich Thiemeroth lived in Rüxleben, Thuringia.

[2] His son Johann Thiemeroth (1630–1683) moved to Frankenhausen, where he was a teacher at a local school.

[3] The coat of arms dates to at least his son, Johann Caspar Timroth (1661–1727), though could have been granted as early as 1559.

Alexander von Timroth (1788–1848) earned distinction commanding troops in the Battle of Borodino during the Napoleonic Wars, for which he was awarded the Gold Sword for Bravery.

[6] Michael von Timroth was matriculated into the Verband der Baltischen Ritterschaften in 1971.
