The Landsberg family is a noble family originating from Westphalia, whose members settled in Courland and later in Lithuania and Poland.

The earliest mention of the family dates back to the 11th century. In Westphalia there is Landsberg Castle, which was still in the hands of representatives of the family in the 20th century. Representatives of the family Wilhelm von Landsberg and Johann von Landsberg arrived in Courland in the 16th century, where they received the fief estate of Wiexeln. Wilhelm's male descendants lived in Courland until 1820.

Johann von Landsberg's descendant, Eduard Eberhard (Ewarni) Landsberg (1625-1252) settled in Lithuania where he acquired the estates in the Vilnius voivodeship. Johann had one son Georg, who in turn had two sons Rafał (born 1715) and Bogusław (born 1717), both of whom left numerous offspring. The family sprawled out and did not play a major role in local politics, nor was it characterized by great wealth, holding several, often divided estates in Lithuania and Samogitia: Albrychtów, Stare Linkowo, Tryszkany, Węgryszki, Judejki and others. Only Tomasz, great-grandson of Rafał Landsberg, who married Marcjanella Kierbedź, came to greater prominence. His son Stanisław married Salomea Szemiot, through which he came into possession of the large estate of Šiaulėnai. The second of Tomasz's sons Wacław owned Klėriškės married Malwina Römer, through which he came into possession of Terliszki. Only then did the Landsbergs become a substantial landowning family. Waclaw's son was Emil Landsberg, a railroad engineer.

Another prominent representative of the family was Gabrielius Landsbergis-Žemkalnis, an activist in the Lithuanian national revival. He came from the impoverished part of the family; his father was Wincenty Ananiasz, son of Kazimierz Ignacy and grandson of mentioned earlier Rafał Landsberg. The descendants of Gabrielus and his brother Kazimierz were prominent figures in the Lithuanian state. Gabrielus' grandson Vytautas Landsbergis was the founder in 1988 of the Lithuanian independence movement Sąjūdis.

After World War II, some Landsbergis left Lithuania for Germany. Some moved to postwar Poland, most of whom probably left no offspring.

Polish-Lithuanian branch
In 1993, he published an article in a book published by Kazimieras Garšva, chairman of Vilnius, titled Lietuvos rytai (lit. 'Eastern Lithuania'), that around 1950, in areas that were part of Poland before the war, 367 Lithuanian and Russian schools began to be converted en masse into Polish schools on orders from Moscow in order to Polonize the region. The author omitted the fact that in 1948, LSR Education Minister Juozas Žiugžda ordered the abolition of Polish schools in Lithuania.

Biography
The son of Stanisław, a member of the Kaunas uprising committee in 1831, and Leokadia née Zawisza. In 1844, he graduated with a silver medal from the Institute of Nobility in Vilnius and entered the Faculty of Law at St Petersburg University, where he came into contact with the circle of Zygmunt Sierakowski. In 1848, on the eve of his final examinations, he returned to the country in order to stop youth uprising activities, including the so-called Dalewski brothers' conspiracy. He settled on the Ignacogród estate, where he took up farming. He established the first reading room and was the first to introduce rent payments to peasants in Kėdainiai. In 1858, during the preparations for the peasant reform, he wrote his first journalistic work: The voice of a nobleman to his fellow peasants on freedom and equality of peasants. In 1861 he formed a civic organisation similar to the White party.

After the outbreak of the uprising, he became chairman of the Department for the Administration of Lithuanian Provinces. On 31 July 1863, as a result of the denunciation of the Vilnius provincial marshal Aleksandr Domeyko, he was arrested. In 1865 he was sentenced to 12 years' hard labour in Usol, and after three years was transferred to Irkutsk, where he traded in shoes. In 1872 he was allowed to return to the country. He settled in Suwałki, then in Warsaw. Between 1880 and 1882, he was a councillor at the General Directorate of the Ziemski Credit Society. In 1882, he opened an antiquarian bookshop, the stock of which was donated to the Branicki Library.

He was the author of the voluminous Memoirs, a valuable source for the history of the years 1857-1865. He is buried in the Powązki Cemetery in Warsaw (cemetery section 72-3-1).
