Coat of arms of the von Beindorf

Beindorff is the name of an extinct noble Pfänner family from the town of Groß Salze , now part of Schönebeck (Elbe) in Saxony-Anhalt .

origin

The ancestral home of the von Beindorff family, after whom it is named, is the village of Beyendorf between Schönebeck and Magdeburg .

In the city of Groß Salze, they were among the Pfänners and for a number of years they were mayors of the town.

In the noble lexica of Leopold von Zedlitz-Neukirch , Ernst Heinrich Kneschke and Freiherr von Ledebur , the von Beyendorf family is incorrectly named, but the name of Beindorff is consistently found in the files. The information in the reference works that the tribe with Hans Albrecht von Beindorff, Mayor and Salzpfänner zu Groß Salze, who was still alive in 1629, and his cousins ​​Georg and Albrecht von Beindorff went out in the 1st half of the 17th century, can be seen from archival documents in the state archive of Saxony-Anhalt , as Hans Albrecht is mentioned there in a document in 1630. Hans Albrecht von Beindorff zu Groß Salze had a son, Johann (Hans) Rudolph von Bei (e) ndorf (f) (1611–1634). His sister was Magdalena Catharina von Beindorff. She married Matthias Henrich von Lattorff (1614–1664), with whom she had two sons and five daughters. The sons were Hans Ernst von Lattorff (1637–1685), Kurbrandenburg revision commissioner, and Heinrich Wilhelm von Lattorff (* 1655), who fell as an ensign during the siege of Stettin . The unmarried Princely Councilor Christoph Beindorff, who worked for the Quedlinburg monastery government from 1639 to 1656 , founded the Beindorff Legacy Fund in 1656 with a capital of 1,000 thalers and intended to support students from his family. The funds were deposited with the main government treasury in Magdeburg.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows a red bishop's miter in silver with a red chin strap, pinned with a silver cross on top. Three ostrich feathers (red, silver, red) on the helmet with red and silver covers. The colors of the coat of arms match those of the Archdiocese of Magdeburg , so that, together with the miter as a shield figure, an original feudal relationship can be assumed.
