The House of Fürstenberg (German pronunciation: [ˈfʏʁstn̩ˌbɛʁk] (listen)) is the name of a German noble family of Westphalia, which descended from Hermannus de Vorstenberg. He was a liegeman of the Archbishop of Cologne, who was among the prince electors of the Holy Roman Empire. Hermannus held a castle for his lord called Fürstenberg ("Prince´s Hill") at Ense-Höingen in Soest; this castle would give the family its name.
