The Tersmeden family, originally tor Smede, is a noble Swedish family originally from Stade that rose to prominence in the 15th-century[1][2] with Thomas tor Smede, founder of one of the most prominent trading companies in northern Germany. The family was elevated to noble rank in the Kingdom of Sweden in 1751, and got introduced at the House of Nobility in 1752. The Tersmeden family consists of several branches of different noble ranks.[3]
During the 19th century, the Tersmeden family possessed the most ironworks in Sweden.[4] The family's wealth declined over the 20th century, once they had wound up their business interests in ironworks.
