The name comes from Nuremberg. Here the family had extensive forests, mainly ash, the wood for the production of buckets was used. So the name for wood spoon. It was apparently a very successful merchant family, since they are 15-16. Century, was knighted. The family of wooden spoon or wooden spoon by Collberg is now often to be found yet. When in the course of the Reformation Franken was a Protestant, a branch of the family remained Catholic. This branch was withdrawn so the title of nobility.
