The extant Hofrath Sack'schen Stiftung is a foundation created in 1781 by Simon Heinrich Sack (Privy Councillor to Frederick the Great of Prussia), financed by his once immense estate. Since then, it regularly publishes the so-called 'Silberne Buch der Familie Sack' (their 'Silver Book'), which records the history of the foundation and the family's evolving genealogy, reporting some 17,500 descendants as of 2010. It is principally concerned with the Sack family's so-called Ernestian, Wilhelm, and Cramer lines of descent. The Sack family had connections to many notable families in Prussia and is related to the Sethe (and through them, the Bleeks), Haeckel, Lindner, v. Beguelin, Dewitz, v. Frankenberg, v. Flotow, v. Obernitz, v. Pionski, v. Rabenau, and v. Richthoven families.
