Ammendorf family

The earliest known member was Fritz von Ammendorf who took part in a tournament in 969 in Merseburg.

An Albertus de Ammendorf appears in 1263–71 as Provincial Governor of the Bailliwick of Thuringia in the county of Zwätzen.

There is a reference in a Latin document of 1266 to Heinricus de Ammendorf nobilis vir.

The family appears in Merseburg and in and around Halle, and later also owned estates in the diocese of Magdeburg and near Rothenburg.
