Brodtkorb
Brodtkorb is a Norwegian family.
It has its alleged origin in Saxony, Germany, and came to Norway in 1643 with Tobias Brodtkorb († 1676), who was a coin-writer (Norwegian: myntskriver) in Akershus and later a customs and export officer in Fredrikstad. His son was Christian Brodtkorb, goldsmith in Oslo, and his grandson was Tobias Brodtkorb (1685–1763), colonel, whose three sons established the family's principal branches:
- Eilert Christian Brodtkorb (1721–1806), weigher and measurer in Kristiansund.
- Christian Johannes Brodtkorb (1725–97), captain and owner of Kirkesæter Farm (Kirkesæter gård) in Hemne.
- Niels Gierbrandt Brodtkorb (1729–96), council of justice and owner of Tjøtta Farm (Tjøttagodset) and estate in Alstahaug.
