⇨ Through my Great-Grandmother I am a descendant of the courtier Caspar Holderbaum. He was born in Litzig / Rhineland-Palatinate in 1470. Many of his descendants still carry his name (surnames Caspar, Caspari, Caspary etc.). Caspar Holderbaum's ancestors had relations to the noble house "Grafen von Sponheim" and due to that they were in a way related to Hildegard von Bingen.
In the other direction also Ludwig van Beethoven descended from Caspar Holderbaum.
