Notes:
Sources state Georg's portrait is to be found at Haagenvik and the Stavanger museum.
From 1670 to 75 Georg was in voluntary imperial service under the Electoral Prince of Pfalzland, the Duke of Lothringen. He was called home in 1675 to become a Lance-Corporal in the Brockenhus Regiment, where he took part in the siege of Wismar, in the battle by Lund. In 1677 he was promoted to regiment quartermaster, and was present during the siege of Kristianstad.
In April 1676 the Danish navy led by Nils Juel captured Gotland, and on June 1 the smaller Danish and Dutch fleet defeated the Swedes off Öland while losing only one ship, giving them command of the sea. King Kristian V led an army of 15,000 men to recapture Scania, and they seized Helsingborg on June 29; the Swedes retreated from Scania to Sweden. However, a Swedish army led by Karl XI defeated Denmark-Norway’s smaller army in the battle of Halmstad at Fyllebro on August 17, and at Lund on December 4 they crushed a larger Danish army, killing more than twice as many Danes and taking 2,000 prisoners. Surviving Danes retreated to the Landskrona fortress. Kristian’s army attacked Malmö on June 26, 1677 and lost about 3,500 men, and the Swedes beat them again at Landskrona on July 14. Nils Juel’s greatest victory was when the Danes destroyed twenty Swedish ships in Køge Bay on the first two days of July. The Danes retreated from Scania, and the Swedes’ besieged the Danes at Kristianstad. Reviving his army with German mercenaries, Kristian led them to relieve the Swedish siege of Kristianstad in July 1678, but seeing a large Swedish army approaching, the Danish king chose to evacuate all his forces from Scania, leaving the garrison to surrender on August 5.
During this war the Danes won most of the sea battles suffering only 375 casualties while the Swedes lost more than 3,000 men. Louis XIV imposed the treaty of Fontainebleau on Denmark and Sweden on August 23, 1679. Then on September 16 they agreed to a peace treaty at Lund which restored Danish conquests in the war to Sweden for a small indemnity, and Kristian Albrecht was restored in Holstein-Gottorp. Denmark and Sweden also made commercial arrangements including a common coinage. Much wheat in fields and barns had been burned in Scania, and thousands of Scanians fought as guerillas against the Swedes. Sweden and Denmark were reconciled as Frederick III’s daughter Ulrika Eleonora married Sweden’s Karl XI on May 6, 1680.
In 1678 Georg was promoted to Captain of the Trondheim Regiment, from 1680-96 he was Commanding Officer of the Outer Sogn Company of the Bergenhus Infantry Regiment, in 1696 he was promoted to the rank of Major, in 1704 to Lieutenant Colonel, and in 1710 to full Colonel and Head of the regiment. He left the military service in 1712, and died October 2, 1721 in Bergen. He was buried October 30 in Nykirken, Bergen.
Georg married three times and sired sixteen children. His 1st marriage, 1681 was to Birgitte Christoffersdtr Munthe (Morgenstierne) born July 13, 1662 in Flahammer, and died there on October 2, 1696. His 2nd marriage was to Marie Thomasdtr Montagne in 1699, and she died in 1709. His third marriage in 1713 was to Marie Elisabeth Jorgendtr Thormohlen, who died in 1742 (her first marriage was to a Councilman Laurids Weiner in Bergen).

Notes:
Danmark's 1898 Adels Aarbog
(pages 279 through 287)
This family is thought to have its origin from the area of Osterstade near Bremen Germany. Its name spelled variously as Krogh, Kroge, Kroghe, Krogen, Krough, Krug, Croghe, Croge, etc, is very old among German nobility. It appears as early as 1236. A genealogical Table from the 1700's takes the family back to the year 1400. The family was recognized as nobility by the President of the Duchy of Bremen Knighthood in a document dated June 8 1870, and by the Royal Heraldic District of Berlin in a document dated June 4 1875. Similarly the family has been recognized as noble in Denmark and has occupied high military and civilian positions. They also have intermarried with the most highly esteemed noble families.
The family Coat of Arms has been a white castle with two towers between which are four rising golden morning stars against a blue background, and on the crest a greyhound, half white, with a golden collar in between two blue and white wings.
The family's ancestor in Denmark and Norway wrote his name as BERENT von KROGH, but his contemporaries called him Berent von Kroge or von Krueg. He was the son of GEORG (JURGEN) von Krogh and a Captain of a company located in Gluckstadt in 1645. At King Frederick III's succession to the throne, he appears to have entered Danish-Norwegian service on a permanent basis. It is possible, however, that he is not the first of his family to come to Denmark. In 1653 Gehard(Gert) von Krogh, an older brother of Bernhardus, died in Trondheim. He and his wife, Alked, had three sons and three daughters, but his descendants can only be traced to the third generation. At the same time Heinrich von Krogh, died Oct 8 1655, a younger brother of Bernhardus was living in Lybaek. He was married to Anna Hasse. One of his sons , named Heinrich, born in 1655 in Lybaek, was a medical graduate. He died Dec. 6, 1679 in Leipzig, and was buried at St. Paul's church on Dec. 10th.
Bernhardus came to Denmark in 1644 with troops from Bremen to assist King Christina IV of Denmark at the end of the "Thirty Years War" (1618-1648). Though the Danes were subdued he remained in the service of the Danish King and was sent to Trondheim Norway in command of the troops there, since Norway was still under the rule of Denmark. Bernhardus married Alide von Bolton, daughter of the Mayor of Bremen, and their descendants inter-married with prominent families in Denmark, Norway and Sweden.
Bremen is a port city in northwest Germany, on the banks of the Weser River about 70 km (43 mi) from the North Sea.
The Weser River is navigable by seagoing craft up to the city's docks. Bremen was founded about AD 787. By the 13th century it was a prosperous trading town, and in 1358 it became a member of the HANSEATIC LEAGUE. It was declared a free city in 1646 and maintained its independence until 1815, when it merged with the German Confederation. The city was heavily damaged during World War II but has since been completely rebuilt. The Altstadt, or Old Town, retains its Cathedral of Saint Peter, dating in part from the 11th century, and its Gothic town hall; both were rebuilt after the war. Also still in existence are several other medieval churches and the Guild Hall of the cloth merchants.

More About Bernhardus Von Krogh:
Occupation: CAREER MILITARY, MAJOR.
Bernhardus von Krogh was in Lubeck, Germany. He first came to Denmark in 1644 with an army he had raised in Bremen, to assist King Christian IV of Denmark at the end of the Thirty Years War. His company was first stationed at Gluckstadt.
After the peace treaty of 1645 was reached, Captain von Krogh was placed in command of the Royal troops at Trondheim, Norway. He was made "statsmajor" in 1663.
He married Alida von Bolton, the daughter of the Mayor of Bremen, Germany.
On 15 January 1661, Bernt had close to a monopoly in the sale of Rhine wine, Spanish wine and liquor in Trondheim. He took over these sales directly from the City Council, which until then had the right to sell these items from the town hall. He lost this monopoly in 1670, when the Trondheim postmaster also received permission to serve wine. He also had the privilege to serve as an innkeeper in Trondheim, and to run inns outside the gates of the city in the direction of Ilen and the Leer bridge (Now called Leirbrua - the clay bridge). These inns were for travelers, who because of bad weather or the closing of Trondheim's gates in the evenings, could not get into the city.
It is also probable that Bernt von Krogh was responsible for organizing "parrot shooting" at his inn at Ilen. This was a competition where the participants fired at a bird figure on the top of a pole. This competition had been a tradition for more than 200 years, and was considered a major part of Trondheim's entertainment at festive events.
The son of Bernardus, Georg Friedrich von Krogh (1653-1721) became a Colonel and Head of the Bergenhus National Infantry Regiment.
This son, Colonel Georg Friedrich, had the three sons who became the starting points for the main branches of the large von Krogh family tree.
