Extracts from the memoirs of Josef AMI SALZBERGER give great insite into the orgins of the SALZBERGER family. Izsak SALZBERGER was a sephardic Jew who was born in Pasika near Munkachevo, Ukraine (Munkacs). The SALZBERGERs were "land Jews" (property managers) for the Graf von Schönborn, an Austrian aristocratic family. Presumably, the Empress gave the Graf an land grant (bounty to a loyal feudal lord) in the Ukraine (then Munkacs, Hungary). The Graf built a hunting lodge in Pasika (aka Paszika), near Munkacs and apparently recruited some his "land Jews" from his Austrian estates to harvest lumber and grow grapes for wine. Josef AMI believes they were recruited from Schoenborn estates in Salzburg, Austria (but more likely they were from the Schoenborn's primary castle in Bavaria as I can't find a Schoenborn castle in Salzburg). Josef's theory is that the name SALZBERGER literally means from SALZBURG. Austrian Jews were required to adopt Germanic surnames in 1787 and did often adopt the name of the location from which they came. However, SALZBERG literally means "Salt Mountain" whereas Salzburg means "Salt Castle" so the names are not exactly synonymous. According to Josef, when the Jews got their civil rights in the Austro-Hungarian monarchy, the royal family and the aristocratic families gave honor titles to their yard Jews. The honor title that was given to the Salzbergers in the area of Munkacevo disappeared and was erased by unknown reasons, but there were "Von SALZBERGERs" in the areas of the Schönborn family to whom honor titles are kept today (Chernovich, Bukovina). If Josef is correct that the SALZBERGERs were Sephardic Jews, they were probably evicted from Spain around 1492 before settling later in Salzburg, Austria.
