Georg of Limburg, count of Limburg (died 1552), son of Adolf of Limburg, count of Limburg.

He married in 1539 Irmgard von Wisch, Lady van Wisch of Wisch op Oud-Wisch, Wildenborch, Overhagen and Lichtenvoorde, Hereditary Countess von Bronckhorst (ca 1520-1587). They had issue:

  • Hermann Georg of Limburg, count of Limburg and Bronckhorst (born 1540, died 1574);
  • Maria (died 1637), married in 1567 Werner, Altgraf von Salm-Reifferscheidt (died 1629).

    • After the death of her husband, Irmgard von Wisch was regent for her son, Hermann Georg of Limburg. Finally she inherited the possessions of her uncle, Count Joost van Bronckhorst-Borculo and brought those territories to the Limburg Stirum.
