Wingård (Template:Lang-da, Template:Lang-de), is a Danish-Swedish family of German origin from Stuttgart, Duchy of Württemberg, Holy Roman Empire.[1] Hans Wyngarthener (circa 1500–1559) emigrated and settled the first printing press in Denmark in the 16th century. His great-grandson Anders Nielsen Wingaard (circa 1600–1649) relocated to Sweden as the fourth Lutheran Vicar in Krokstad parish, Diocese of Gothenburg, in Bohuslän.[2] His great-great-great-grandson Carl Fredrik was ennobled af Wingård (n:o 2159) in 1799 on the merits of his father[3] during the reign of King Gustav IV Adolf of Sweden.[4]
