Bismarck family

The Bismarck family is a German noble family descending from Herebord von Bismarck, the first verifiable holder of the name from the 13th century. A Prussian Junker family until 1871, their most notable member Otto von Bismarck, gained the status of "Fürst von Bismarck". Two ships of the German Imperial Navy ("Kaiserliche Marine"), as well as a battleship from the World War II-era, were named after Otto von Bismarck. Also named in his honour were the Bismarck Sea and Bismarck Archipelago (both near the former German colony of New Guinea), as well as Bismarck, North Dakota (a city in the United States).
