Angerstein is a German-Swedish family from Angerstein, Niedersachsen, Holy Roman Empire,[1] with indications of ultimate origins from Hungary.[2]


The Swedish branch immigrated through Anders Angerstein (1614-1659), along with accompanying smiths. In time, Anders Angerstein settled by the Angerstein forge in Vikmanshyttan, Dalarna. His issue extended the holdings, including Vira bruk, Thurbo, and Bispberg, inter alia,[3] with craft production authorisation by the Swedish Board of Mines,[4] remaining in the family until the 19th century. Donations were extended to cultural heritage protected interiors of the Hedemora church in the Diocese of Västerås.[5]


In 1981, the former Angerstein steelworks were transformed into the Steelworks Museum of Vikmanshyttan, maintained as a museum of regional industrial history.[6]
