Coat of arms of those von Bagewitz

Bagewitz , also Bagevitz and sometimes Bagritz is the name of a Pomeranian noble family that is now extinct and who were especially wealthy on the island of Rügen .

history

The sex is of Slavic origin. It is said to come from Poland-Lithuania . Branches are said to have come to Brandenburg and Pomerania at the beginning of the 15th century . In fact, however, the family line begins with the Stralsund citizen and elderly brewer Paul Bagewitz († 1628). In three generations, the family rose first to the Stralsund council and then by acquiring land on Rügen into the landed gentry and the Rügen knighthood . In 1628 the family acquired the former Güttin domain , together with the Dreschwitz, Burckwitz and Möllen estates (all of which are now districts of Dreschvitz ). In 1714 Johann Jacob Bagewitz bought the Neuendorf estate. Gustav Friedrich Bagewitz bought the Ralow estate around 1737 . His son Gustav Gottfried von Bagewitz expanded the property to include Salkow and Unrow (today the municipality of Ummanz ). In the following generation, Wilhelm Friedrich Ludwig von Bagewitz acquired Bergelasen and Tolkmitz (both now districts of Samtens ) as well as the island of Hiddensee in 1800 , and Gustav Friedrich von Bagewitz acquired the Drigge estate (community of Gustow ). The Bagewitz brothers belonged to a group of noble landlords on Rügen who denounced Ernst Moritz Arndt because of his critical writing Attempt a History of Serfdom in Pomerania and Rügen in 1803 with the then sovereign, the Swedish King Gustav IV Adolf : "The gentlemen had me gladly set a majesty lawsuit on the neck. "

On October 12, 1741 Carl Christian von Bagewitz and on November 6, 1742 his brother Gustav Gottfried were raised to the hereditary knightly imperial nobility.

Since Adolph Friedrich von Bagewitz (* July 19, 1813 in Drigge; † December 27, 1893 there) died without male offspring, the male line with him died out.

coat of arms

The split family coat of arms showed an arch in the golden field and 3 white roses in the red field. When it was raised to imperial nobility in 1742, the coat of arms was increased; since then the shield has been squared. In the first and fourth quarters a wild man with a quiver and bow stands in golden fields , in the second and third quarters the white roses, actually a rose branch with a rose, three green leaves and two buds, are depicted in red fields. On the helmet lies a band decorated with five ostrich feathers that change in red and white. The helmet covers are gold, red and blue.
