House of Brunswick-Lüneburg

The House of Brunswick-Lüneburg was a prominent German noble family whose members ruled various regions and territories in Northern Germany from the 13th to the 19th centuries. Originating from the Duchy of Brunswick and the Principality of Lüneburg, they held significant political and territorial influence, often dividing into different branches that governed different areas. Their members sometimes held elective positions, such as the German king, and many became rulers of territories that later formed part of modern Germany. Their legacy includes important contributions to regional history, culture, and royal lineages across Europe.
