history

Diethard von Aspelkamp was mentioned 1221–1244 as a ministerial of the Count of Tecklenburg . He switched to the service of the Bishop of Osnabrück . In 1229 he acquired the Cistercian convent Levern , located about 10 km west of Espelkamp, from an afterleman Diethard for a tithe. Diethard's marriage to Frederundis resulted in a daughter who became a nun in the Obernkirchen monastery . Hermann Aspelkamp , probably a brother of Diethard, was mentioned in 1226–33.

Heinrich von Aspelkamp , Hermann's son, was a knight and ministerial of the Bishop of Osnabrück in 1256 and was also found very often in the vicinity of the Count of Ravensberg . In 1285 he arranged for his two daughters to be admitted to the Levern Convent and pledged a tithe to the monastery, which he carried as a fief from the Bishop of Minden . Bishop Volkwin V. von Schwalenberg stated in the document on this legal transaction that part of the pledge was the consideration that was usually given to the monastery by the family of a new conventual. Around 1300 he was enfeoffed from the diocese of Minden with a tithe from Hüffe and Hedem in the parish of Alswede .

Hermann (II.) Von Aspelkamp , son of Heinrich, pledged a tithe to Levern Monastery for four years in 1306/07 with the consent of the Bishop of Minden and gave the nuns 20 marks in return for the admission of his daughter Oda von Aspelkamp to the convent.

In 1420 the Aspelkamp family sold their tithe to Bernd Teckenborg.

Dietrich von Aspelkamp zu Haklenbeck was mentioned 1482-1518. He married a daughter of Arnd von Zerssen . With her he had a daughter Anna.

Around 1500 Anna von Aspelkamp married Junker Berthold Bischopinck , Herr zu Telgte, Rumphorst, Dieckhof and Allharding, heir to Münster.
