The Timroth family, also Tiemroth, Thiemeroth, Thimroth and Timrod (in Russian Тимрот), is a noble family of the
Netherlands,
Livonia,
Courland, Russia and
Finland from
Thuringia. The family is registered in the Genealogisches Handbuch des Adels.
The family is believed to originate in the village of
Timmenrode in the Harz mountains. It is believed to be associated with Henrikus Dimorode, who is mentioned as early as 1277 and appears in the "Collection of documents of the Teutonic Order, Bailiwick of Thuringen" ("Urkundenbuch des Deutschritterordens Ballei Thuringen"). 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.[4] From there, the family splits into Livonian, Dutch, and Danish lines.
In 1894, the family was included in the registry of the
knighthood of Courland.[6] Michael von Timroth was matriculated into the Verband der Baltischen Ritterschaften in 1971.
