    A monument for Ebener von Eschenbach.

    The Ebner von Eschenbach are one of the oldest patrician families in the Imperial City of Nuremberg, first mentioned in documents in 1251. Originally known only as "Ebner", they received their full name from the manor house in Eschenbach near Hersbruck, which they acquired in 1508 through marriage and purchase from the patrician family Harsdörffer1.

    The family was represented in the "Inner Council" from 1319 until the end of the Imperial City period in 1806 and was one of the twenty old families eligible to sit on the council. They increased their wealth through financial transactions with Emperor Ludwig and the textile trade in Flanders1.

    A well-known member of the family is Hieronymus Ebner, whose ex libris was designed by Albrecht Dürer. The Ebner von Eschenbach family were enrolled as nobles in the Bavarian nobility in 1813 and elevated to the Bavarian baronial rank in 1825.
