The coat of arms of those of Barfus

Barfus is the family name of a German nobility family from the Altmark , which still exists today.

Origin and meaning

The von Barfus family first appeared in a document with Henricus Barfot in 1251 in the Altmark. A family line begins with the knight Hildebrand Barut , who was Vogt of Lebus in 1252 . In the Mark Brandenburg , the village of Malchow on the Barnim was owned by the von Barfus from before 1375 to 1684, as was the village of Batzlow from before 1412 to 1872.

They had also been settled in Pomerania and Silesia since the 16th century , but the Pomeranian line, which inherited the presidential post in the Schöppenstuhl in Stettin , already died in the middle of the 16th century. However, Eginhard von Barfus was born again in Pomerania in 1825 on Gut Tetzleben near Treptow on the Tollense . The Silesian line died out in 1718.

With Hans Albrecht von Barfus, the sex was raised to the rank of imperial count in Vienna in 1699 , which was confirmed in the Electorate of Brandenburg in the same year. After Count Hans Albrecht in 1701 at the royal coronation of Frederick III. von Brandenburg represented the army and was the first knight to receive the Order of the Black Eagle , donated on that day , he soon became governor of Berlin. However, when he attempted to overthrow the powerful Minister Kolbe von Wartenberg in 1702 , he fell out of favor with the king and was replaced by Alexander Hermann von Wartensleben . Barfus then retired to Kossenblatt , where he died in 1704.

coat of arms

  • The talking coat of arms shows a green bar covered with three bare feet in a silver shield sprinkled with drops of blood . On the helmet with red and silver covers, a flight covered like the shield .
  • At Siebmacher the sign is erroneously shown in red - see illustration; in Danmarks Adels Aarbog of 1885 the bar is also shown in blue, as is half of the helmet cover.
  • The coat of arms of the Counts of Barfus was shown in 1776 in Johann Friedrich Seyfart's “The Serene World Complete Book of Coat of Arms” with three red, two-handled vases, each with three natural silver lilies on their stems , as a helmet ornament . This is how it was represented during the lifetime of the first count, Hans Albrecht von Barfus .
  • Deviating from this, the facade of his property, the Kossenblatt Castle, shows a quartered shield with the family coat of arms in the heart shield , a Maltese cross (cross of the Black Eagle Order ) in the first and fourth fields , and a six-spoke wheel in the second and third fields . Three lily sceptres placed in a fan shape on the helmet .

Others

Franz Heinrich von Barfuß (1740–1796), the son of Paul Konrad von Barfuß (1684–1748), joined the Prussian Army in 1759 . On February 5, 1760 he had the rank of ensign , advanced to second lieutenant on September 17, 1762, prime lieutenant on July 30, 1770, captain of staff on September 3, 1780, company commander on August 21, 1783 and finally on April 1, 1789 to major. His entire career he was in the infantry regiment (No. 1) , with which he participated at the end of the Silesian War (1760/62), the War of the Bavarian Succession (1778/1779), and the War in Poland (1792/94). His first marriage was in 1781 with Louise Sophie von Krosigk († 1784) and his second marriage in 1784 with Leopoldine Wilhelmine Ernestine Charlotte von Young (1769-1816). From the latter came his son, who later became the Prussian Major General Franz Wilhelm von Barfus-Falkenburg , who still had two sisters. Barefoot's burial site in the garrison cemetery in Berlin is the oldest, precisely verifiable burial site that still exists in the cemetery today. His grave monument is a block made of sandstone with an urn on it and was erected after 1796.
