Barner , also: Bärner , Börner or Berner is the name of an old Mecklenburg noble family that was one of the signatories of the Union of Estates in 1523. One branch of the family settled in Denmark.

history

Knight Heinrich Barner with the beard is named as the progenitor of the family , who lived around 1194 at the court of Duke Heinrich the Lion in Bavaria and is said to have come to northern Germany with him. The name is probably derived from the word: barnen = to burn . The family first appeared in a document on March 18, 1302 with the knight Otto dictus Berner , with whom the family line began . The family can be traced as the owner of Koberow in the Güstrow office in 1400 and of Bülow in the Crivitz office since 1590. The family then acquired further important property in Mecklenburg. The Bülow, Necheln and Wesselin houses were built with large majorats and family foundations .

In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are 13 entries by daughters of the von Barner family from 1770–1789 from Bülow, Klein Görnow, Ganzkow, Groß Weltzien, Sülten and Trams for inclusion in the noble women's monastery there . According to the account book, which was kept from 1491 onwards, four virgins von Barner came to the monastery in 1668–1692 after paying 100 guilders. From 1687-1691, Catharina von Barner, who came to the monastery in 1649, was the head of the Dobbertiner monastery as dominatrix . Margartha Elisabeth von Barner from Groß Weltzien lived 52 years in the Dobbertin Monastery, was prioress and died there at the age of 93.

The family spread from Mecklenburg to Denmark and settled here in Vedbygaard on the island of Zealand . By the middle of the 18th century, von Barner's were also wealthy in Pomerania and the province of Brandenburg.

Several members of the family served in the Danish, Dutch, Austrian and Hanoverian armies and, since the beginning of the Seven Years' War , in the Prussian army. Christoph von Barner from the Bülow family became the imperial field warden and did great service during the siege of Vienna in 1683 . Ferdinand Albrecht von Barner commanded the Braunschweiger Jäger , a Brunswick hunter regiment in the American War of Independence .

coat of arms

The family coat of arms shows in blue an armored right arm emerging from the left edge of the shield, which holds a black fire brand with red flame in its bare hand. On the helmet with blue-silver covers, three little racing flags on golden shafts with downward swings, of which the middle one is red, the right one silver and the left one blue, on a top round, serrated blue umbrella board with a disc-like silver recess (or silver hump) at the base.

A coat of arms improvement from 1683 by Emperor Leopold I awarded to the Imperial Feldzeugmeister Freiherr Christoph von Barner, shows in a blue field a silver-armored arm emerging from natural clouds on the left edge of the shield, which in the bare hand holds a black, golden-burning torch slightly inclined to the left. On the helmet a black, golden-burning grenade, equipped with three flags on golden lances. The red flag on the left flies to the left, the other two, blue and silver, to the right. Helmet covers silver and blue on the right, silver and red on the left. The helmet was later usually worn crowned. Some branches of the family, such as the Necheln and Wesselin (Weselin) houses, have a red wheel and four peacock feathers instead of the grenade.
