The Albrecht family is a North German family whose members have been prominent as civil servants, politicians and businesspeople. The family was among the hübsche ("courtly" or "genteel") families of the Kingdom of Hanover, the informal third elite group after the nobility and the clergy that encompassed the higher bourgeoisie and university-educated civil servants.
