Heraldic/Genealogical Details:
Stein zu Lieberstein - The Lords of Stein are an ancient noble family that was based in Thuringia. Their ancestral seat was Altenstein Castle near Bad Liebenstein in the Thuringian Forest. Some of their possessions were also located in the neighboring Landgraviate of Hesse. The branch of the Barons of Stein-Liebenstein zu Barchfeld still exists today. They should not be confused with the Stein zu Lausnitz family, also from Thuringia, who also trace their lineage back to a Dudo von Stein (documented in 1117), nor with the Lower Franconian knightly family of Stein zu Altenstein from Altenstein Castle near Maroldsweisach. Hermann von Stein zu Liebenstein (around 1600) – drew his lord, Duke Casimir,'s attention to the Liebenstein mineral spring and is therefore considered the founder of the village of Sauerbrunnen, whose later merger with the neighboring Grumbach led to the creation of the present-day town of Bad Liebenstein. Ferdinand von Stein-Liebenstein zu Barchfeld (1832–1912), Prussian Lieutenant General
