The House of Maltzahn or Maltzan is the name of an ancient German noble family of the counts and barons von Maltza(h)n which originated from Mecklenburg, Germany, and were first mentioned in a document in 1194. Members occupied many important positions in the Duchy of Mecklenburg and in its successor states, in the Kingdom of Prussia and later in the German Empire. The family owned large properties in Mecklenburg, expropriated by communist East Germany in 1945, where they are now once again based on several estates that they have reacquired.
