Cappelen is the surname of a prominent Norwegian family of merchants, land owners, civil servants and politicians. The family belonged to the historical Patriciate of Norway.〔 ==History== The family originated in Cappeln near Wildeshausen in Oldenburg in Lower Saxony, Germany with Johan von Cappelen (1627–1688), who immigrated to Norway from Bremen in 1653. Johan von Cappelen bought several properties and ended as a bailiff in Lier in Buskerud County, Norway. The family's main branches originated from three of his sons: * Johan von Cappelen junior (1658–1698), after his father was bailiff in Lier, Norway * Ulrich Friderich von Cappelen (1668–1722), timber merchant and ran a sawmill in Skien in Telemark County, Norway * Gabriel von Cappelen (1674–1758), timber merchant in Bragernes in Drammen in Buskerud County, Norway Jørgen Wright Cappelen, a later member of the family, founded the publishing house J. W. Cappelens Forlag. The family in Norway had stopped using the ''von'' in the 19th century.〔(''Cappelen'' (Store norske leksikon) )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cappelen (family)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
