Coat of arms of the von Barsdorf (also Barstorf)

The von Barsdorf , also Barstorff (and similar spellings), is the name of an aristocratic family in the Mark Brandenburg that has been documented since the 14th century and which became extinct in the male line in the 18th century.

history

The von Barsdorf came from the village of the same name south of Fürstenberg / Havel ( Oberhavel district , Brandenburg ). In 1327 O. von Barsdorf and his brother-in-law, the Templin citizens Otto Landrider (also Lantrider), acquired the villages of Beutel and Densow (today both places are districts of the city of Templin , Uckermark district , Brandenburg). In 1375 Coppe Barstorff and his father were the sole owners of the two villages, which they sold to the Glutzer family in 1376. Only the lease of 2 Hufen in Densow went to the Templin citizen Hans Grote. In 1375 a Hermann Barstorp had the lease of 9 Hufen in the village of Gandenitz . Before 1440 they had acquired 1/3 of the desert village of Krams , which they sold to the Himmelpfort monastery in 1443 .

Even before 1527, the family was in the possession of Baumgarten (today part of the municipality of Sonnenberg , Oberhavel district , Brandenburg), which they sold to von der Groeben in 1617 . Before 1524 they had already acquired part of the village of Wulkow (today part of the city of Neuruppin , Ostprignitz-Ruppin district ), which they sold to the Tönnies family in 1673. Before 1524 until after 1621 they were raised by a two-hoofed farmer in Bechlin (now a residential area of ​​the city of Neuruppin), which they sold to the Kriele family in 1621. Also before 1525 they were able to acquire the village of Ribbeck (today the district of Zehdenick , Oberhavel district) and maintain it until 1579/80 before they sold it to von Trott ( Badingen rulership ). From 1580 to 1657 they are also documented with ownership in Schönfließ (a district of the Mühlenbecker Land municipality, Oberhavel district). From 1648 to 1680 they owned in Radensleben (today part of the city of Neuruppin). Before 1663 until after 1684 the family had 3½ knight's hooves in Pessin ( Havelland district ); in 1864 this part was transferred to von Knoblauchs . In the second half of the 17th century, the family still had property in Barsdorf , today part of the town of Fürstenberg / Havel (Oberhavel district), at that time still part of Mecklenburg-Strelitz . Adolph von Bahrstorff, heir to Barsdorf, died there on May 6, 1694. A Christoph (or Christian) bought the villages of Dewsberg and Latzig in what was then the Belgard Pomerania district in 1719. The estate that his brother Ewald Christian allegedly owned in Schönwerder near Prenzlau could not be verified using the historical local dictionary. In 1764 Adam Dietrich and Caspar Bernd von Barsdorf were still alive.

annotation

  1. According to Ledebur, the Barsdorf family is said to have had property in Kerzlin (today the Temnitztal community , Ostprignitz-Ruppin district), Schönwerder (part of the city of Prenzlau , Uckermark district) and Schönerlinde (district of the Wandlitz community , Barnim district ). This could not be confirmed on the basis of the historical local dictionary.
