Brodtkorb is a Norwegian family. It has its alleged origin in Saxony, Germany, and came to Norway in 1643 with Tobias Brodtkorb († 1676), who was a ''coin-writer'' (Norwegian: ''myntskriver'') in Akershus and later a customs and export officer in Fredrikstad. His son was Christian Brodtkorb, goldsmith in Oslo, and his grandson was Tobias Brodtkorb (1685–1763), colonel, whose three sons established the family's principal branches: * Eilert Christian Brodtkorb (1721–1806), weigher and measurer in Kristiansund. * Christian Johannes Brodtkorb (1725–97), captain and owner of Kirkesæter Farm in Hemne. * Niels Gierbrandt Brodtkorb (1729–96), council of justice and owner of Tjøtta Farm and Estate in Alstahaug. ==Brodtkorb of Tjøtta== ;Estate owners The family's most prominent branch was the Brodtkorbs of Tjøtta. Niels Brodtkorb bought in 1767 the Tjøtta Estate, which was a large and known estate in the kingdom. He married Anna Catharina Hvid, who was daughter of Johan Christian Hvid, owner of the Tromsø Estate, and granddaughter of Michael Hvid, who had been the manager of the same estate, originally a part of the Baron of Westervick's estate in Northern Norway. Their son Johan Christian Hvid Brodtkorb took over the Tjøtta Estate, and through his marriage to Maren Winther, who was daughter of estate owner Niels Winther and Anne Bech at Vevelstad, Brodtkorb extended the estate with more land. Thereafter followed their son, Niels Gierbrandt Brodtkorb, married to Marie Berg, who was daughter of Johan Ernst Berg, County Governor of Nordland. Their son was Johan Christian Brodtkorb, who became the last estate owner at Tjøtta. ;Bankruptcy When the last proprietarian, Johan Brodtkorb the younger, died on 3 July 1918, the estate was bankrupt. One sought to let Brodtkorb relatives buy the estate, and in accordance with a property deed of 1867, they had pre-emption to Tjøtta Farm. This attempt did not succeed. The final auction was held in 1929, when the government, represented by the Ministry of Agriculture, bought the farm for 83,000 crowns (90,000 crowns including various fees).〔Lillegaard, Leif B. and Mentzoni, Steinbjørn (1989): Mellom to kriger ''Og slik gikk det med storgodset'' Pag. 377.〕 The manor's interior, however, had been sold one year earlier in an auction lasting for seven days. The manor was then basically emptied for old and valuable objects, thereafter transported to other parts of the country. Among the most precious items were a cabinet from 1627 belonging to Overlord of Helgeland Peter Jacobsen Falch and Anna Jonsdotter of Tjøtta Farm, a collection of over 700 books, whereof many were old and written by hand, and a heraldic artwork displaying the Brodtkorb coat of arms. Also silver, china, and renaissance furniture were sold for relatively low prices.〔 File:Brodtkorb Johan older.jpg|Johan Brodtkorb the older (1766–1845), proprietarian and owner of the Tjøtta Estate, and candidatus juris.
