Nesselrode is the name of a Bergisch noble family . The gentlemen of Nesselrode belong to the primeval nobility of Grafschaft Berg . Branches of the family still exist today.

history
origin
The family is first mentioned in a document in September 1303 with the knight Heinrich Flecke von Nesselrode as the feudal man of Deutz Abbey . A descent from Albert Sobbe von Leysiefen is likely. The main seat that gave its name was Nesselrath Castle on the Wupper near Leichlingen . 1335 becomes the son of Heinrich Flecke von Nesselrode , Flecke von Nesselrode , feudal man of Count Rainald II. Von Geldern . In 1368 the knight Johann von Nesselroide appears , who appears and seals the feudal man of the Counts of Berg .
Lines and possessions
Wilhelm von Nesselrode († 1389 or 1399?) Married Jutta von Grafschaft , daughter of Adolf von Grafschaft zu Ehreshoven and Jutta von Sayn . Through this marriage he became lord of Ehreshoven near Engelskirchen in what is today the Oberbergischer Kreis and co- lord of Stein. His sons Johann the Elder zu Stein and Johann the Younger zu Ehreshoven were the progenitors of the two main lines Stein-Reichenstein and Ehreshoven.
Members of the Stein-Reichensteiner line received the office of hereditary marshal and treasurer of the Duchy of Berg as early as 1481 . The son of Johann the Elder of Nesselrode zum Stein and Katharina von Gehmen, Wilhelm († 1499), married Elisabeth Nyt von Bürgel and in 1478 received the imperial county of Rheydt . His great-grandchildren, the imperial barons Bertram and Johann Matthias von Nesselrode, founded two further branches of the family. Bertram († 1678), Lord of Herten , Stein and Ehrenstein , electoral Cologne privy councilor and governor of Vest Recklinghausen , was the progenitor of the Reichenstein line. He was married to Lucie Countess von Hatzfeld . Baron Franz von Nesselrode-Reichenstein his son imperial chamberlain and chancellor in the Bishopric of Münster , 1698 acquired the rich direct rule Reichenstein and received in 1702 the imperial estate shaft seat and a vote in the Lower Rhenish-Westphalian Graf College . With the death of his son Franz Wilhelm Anton, governor in Vest Recklinghausen, on September 22, 1776, this branch went out. The founder of the Landscron line, Johann Matthias, was married to Elisabeth von Wylich . From this marriage came the Freiherr Johann Wilhelm von Nesselrode, who received the rule of Landscron through marriage to Franziska Margaretha von Brempt, heir daughter of Johann von Brempt. His grandson, Count Johann Wilhelm († 1800), after the Reichensteiner Line had expired in 1776, was able to acquire their imperial property and inherit the seat in the Westphalian Counts College. The line died out in 1824 with Franz Joseph (* 1755) in the male line .
In § 24 of the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss of February 25, 1803, the Counts of Nesselrode-Reichenstein was granted a pension of 206 guilders for Burgfey and Mechernich . Franz Joseph's daughter Maria Carolina (* 1776), from her marriage to Felicitas Johanna Countess von Manderscheidt-Blanckenheim , married Johann Felix Bernhard Freiherr Droste zu Vischering in 1799 . His son Felix was made a universal heir by his maternal grandfather, Johann Franz Joseph von Nesselrode-Reichenstein († 1824). The name, the coat of arms and the goods of the Nesselrode-Landscron / Reichenstein line therefore passed to the Droste zu Vischering family after the death of Maria Carolina on January 21, 1858. Today they bear the double name Count Droste zu Vischering von Nesselrode Reichenstein .
The founder of the Ehreshoven main line, Johann the Younger zu Ehreshoven, was married to Helene von Bock. His descendants were bailiffs and councilors in Bergisch services and canons and canons in Rhenish , Westphalian and Liège cathedral monasteries . Wilhelm Franz († 1732) was canon of Liège and Paderborn , provost of Münster and Stuhlweissenburg and, since 1703, bishop of Fünfkirchen . Franz Karl († 1750), Imperial Real Privy Councilor, received indigenous status in Hungary on November 20, 1729 . His son Karl Franz († 1798), jülich-bergischer Chancellor and Electoral Palatinate secret State was, from 1776 to 1794 Electoral Palatinate governor of Julich-Berg. He associated with Goethe and promoted the public libraries. In Düsseldorf he ran the Palais Nesselrode and was protector of the electoral art academy . His younger brother Wilhelm became the Russian ambassador in Lisbon and Berlin . His son Karl Robert von Nesselrode (* 1780; † 1862) was the Russian Chancellor and one of the leading diplomats of the 19th century. The Ehreshoven rule received the cooperative of the Rhenish knightly nobility to establish a "pen for unmarried Catholic noble ladies" from Maria von Nesselrode (* 1853; † 1920).
Another Johann von Nesselrode was 1508 Hugenpoet invested . His descendants Johann and Wilhelm founded the Nesselrode-Hugenpoēt line, which still exists today in Bavaria and the Netherlands . From the line came u. a. a great-great-great-grandmother of the poet Annette von Droste-Hülshoff , Johanna, who in 1670 Bernhard III. von Droste-Hülshoff (1634–1700) married. Her granddaughter, in turn, Richmod von Droste zu Hülshoff (1704–1715), married Christian von Nesselrode-Hugenpoet, a general in Austrian service. Also from this branch came among others Johann Leopold Freiherr von Nesselrode-Hugenpoēt († 1768), Vicar General zu Speyer and the Bavarian General Maximilian Freiherr von Nesselrode-Hugenpoēt (* 1804; † 1886).
