History

In Norway, the name von der Lippe is most frequently associated with the descendants of Jacob von der Lippe (died 1702), who immigrated from Bremen, Germany and became a citizen of Bergen, Norway in 1655. In Bergen, family members were merchants and business people. Later, the family had clergy members and other officials, as well as theater people, and various other professions.

Within Scandinavian countries, there have been several members of von der Lippe family, without lines known between them.
