Böckenförde called Schüngel (also Bockenförde, Bockenvoerde, Schungel, also Schungel von Bechenroda ) was an old Westphalian noble family .

Possessions

The family had their headquarters in Bockenförde near Lippstadt . It had this property as early as 1244. It later also owned the Echthausen or Wocklum Castle . In Neheim it also had a Burgmannenhaus as a fief, later owned by the owner. This Neheim house was the nucleus of the city and passed to the Fürstenberg family in the 18th century . House Hemer also belonged to the family at times . From 1400 until this line died out, it was owned by the manor Oevinghausen near Waltringen . At times the Bruchhausen house was also owned by the Böckenförde family called Schüngel. The family owned a burial place in Balve .

history

A Heinrich von Böckenförde was Landmeister of the Teutonic Order in Livonia in 1440 . In 1510, Johan von Schungel was the Elector of Cologne in Arnsberg. Numerous members were Droste of the Werl office since the Middle Ages . Albert von Schüngel was also Drost of the Balve office around 1370 and is mentioned as a councilor to the Archbishop of Cologne. The family retained the office until the end of the 16th century. In the Duchy of Westphalia , the family provided several Landdrosten. They were thus secular representatives of the Elector of Cologne in their Westphalian part of the country.

As part of the Westphalian collegiate nobility , the family produced numerous canons, many of them in Hildesheim, and other religious dignitaries. Heinrich von Bockenförde was abbot of Berge monastery near Magdeburg in 1415 . A Gerwin von Schüngel was head ("provost") of the Wedinghausen monastery until 1455 . An unusual case was Johann Christoph von Bockenförde, who was in the Turkish military service in 1521, married a Turkish woman in his first marriage and a French woman in his second marriage, before he became a monk in the Liesborn monastery after her death .

According to Kneschke , the family in Westphalia is said to have died out in the 18th century. In fact, there was still a line in real houses at least until the 19th century. In Livonia, too, there were members of the same sex at least at the beginning of the 19th century.
