Bönninghausen (noble family)
Bönninghausen is the name of a Westphalian nobility from the county of Mark . It is to be distinguished from the Counts of Bönninghausen.
The family was given the status of imperial baron in 1634 . A bourgeois line descended from a natural son was admitted to the nobility in the Netherlands in 1822.
history
The noble family probably takes its name from the village of Bönninghausen in the Soest district , now part of the city of Geseke . The first members of the family appear in the early 15th century with the name Bodinchus. They belonged to the knighthood of the Iserlohn office . There she owned the Apricke estate from around 1500 . There was also a branch, inherited in Neheim and the gentlemen in Bram in the Hamm district .
Field Marshal General Lutter Dietrich von Bönninghausen (1598–1657) was the most famous representative of the family. He was raised to the hereditary imperial baron status on May 20, 1634 .
His illegitimate son was Colonel Ferdinand Bönninghausen , who was killed in action against the Turks on September 24, 1684 in Raab, Hungary. Ferdinand's initially bourgeois descendants were later counted as "von Bönninghausen" to the Westphalian nobility, without any formal elevation to the rank of nobility or baron. Descendants were accepted into the Dutch knighthood (1816) or the Dutch nobility (1822) as letter nobility.
The Dutch line of the family, descended from Ferdinand, acquired the Herinkhave estate near Tubbergen in Twente in the 18th century , which they still own today. This branch was accepted into the knighthood of Overijssel on February 24, 1816 . In 1905, Ludwig von Bönninghausen inherited from his sister-in-law Viginia von Heyden the high house at Nienborg Castle in the Münsterland, which Lodewyk von Bönnighausen (1909–2005) lived in until his death and which today belongs to a family foundation.
