House of Fenrich
House of Fenrich is a European aristocratic house from the Holy Roman Empire dating back to the late 17th century. The first name bearer was Achatius Eduard Fenrich von Chrone (Grone), from Lower Saxony, who became a bannerman (=Fenrich) at the Brunswick-Lüneburg Court. He was the youngest son of the heir to the House of Chrone (Grone) from Göttingen. He married a maiden of Fenner lineage, and started to call himself Fenrich thereftear. His grandson, Johann Leopold Fenrich von Chrone, who was born in 1773 in Göttingen, married Eleonora vom Hofe, a daughter of Friedrich Leopold Henrich vom Hofe, a nobleman from Lüdenscheid, and fathered four daughters and three sons: Friedrich von Chrone-Fenrich (1844), Karl August von Chrone-Fenrich (1846) and Wilhelm von Chrone-Fenrich (1849). This branch subsequently gave rise to Danzig lineage of the family with hereditary title of Erbschulzen.
The younger grandson of Achatius Eduard was Johann Heinrich, born 1774, who married Johanne Katharina Elisabetha Heinemann from Hildesheim. He fathered five daughters and two sons, Michael (1800) and Heinrich Konrad Melchior (1813). This branch later gave rise to Fenrich zu Bingen, Fenrich zu Kirrlach and Fenrich von Gjurgjenovac lineages.
Michael's eldest son was Johann (1819-1887), his younger sons were Joseph (1821) and Georg Anton (1826-1897). Micheal also fathered three daughters, of which the eldest, Barbara Ludwina, married a knighted officer Ferdinand von Kremer. This is the first connection between Fenrich and Kremer family; later, at the beginning of the 20th century, Ana Fenrich (born 1887), daughter of Johann Fenrich von Gjurgjenovac (1873-1939), will marry her great cousin Ottomar von Kremer and thus rejoin the Fenrich and Kremer houses.
