Klinkowström or Klinckowström is a noble house of German origin with Prussian-Austrian and Swedish branches.[1][2]
History
The family probably originated from Klinkow near Prenzlau, Germany. They held positions in the city of Stralsund, such as Template:Ill serving as its mayor during the 1559–1599 period. Members of the family that served in Sweden were first raised to hereditary nobility in 1678, when colonel Johann Klinckow was ennobled as "Klinckouenström". Some of their descendants moved to Prussia; Template:Ill was given the title of Count by King Frederick William III in 1798.[1][2]
