history

Cyriacus von Bischwang came from Swabia around 1470 and was first mentioned in Körchow . When Ulrich von Pentz wanted to get Körchow into his hands from 1488 on, he encountered strong resistance. Körchow originally belonged to Ratzeburg , then came to the County of Schwerin and with this from 1358 to Mecklenburg. In a later letter from 1672 it says: The von Bischwang have exercised the Jus patronalis zu Körchow since 1478. They also put their first feudal letter, which the dukes Balthasar and Magnus of Mecklenburg issued.

In 1496 Cyriacus von Bischwang owned the Körchow estate and was the patron of the church. His son Cyriacus, as the ducal Mecklenburg councilor, then owned the Körchow and Zühr estates until 1535. A Georg von Bischwang on Körchow had to pay 300 guilders in 1536 for manslaughtering master draper Hans from Crivitz . Hartwig von Bischwang, who was in the service of others, gave money to the Dobbertin monastery in 1613 for his sister Anna, who was a conventual there until 1634 . It is noted in the monastery account book: In 1613 Hartich Bisewanck gave the pröuengeldt (tax money) to his sister Anna. Hartwig returned to Mecklenburg in 1626 to collect debts from Mathias Pentz.

Already between 1625 and 1646 there was a dispute about the return of the Körchow estate in the Wittenburg office by Daniel von Mithoff (1593–1673) as Chancellor of the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin for his father-in-law Jürgen von Bischwang against Daniel von Weltzien on Sammit in the Lübz office .

Between 1665 and 1673 Hartwig von der Lühe and around 1690 the Secret Rath von Witzendorff had shares in Gut Körchow. In 1701 the ducal chamberlain and lieutenant colonel Hartwig von Bischwang Körchow pledged to the Hamburg merchant Joachim Mutzenbecher , who from 1704 also exercised church patronage . Hartwig was a royal Swedish ensign in Bremen in 1688 , then took part in the Battle of Stenkerken in the Netherlands in 1692 , was then in Dutch service, was active in the battle of Malplaquet in 1697 and then still in Holstein.

The ducal Holstein court squire and Colonel Friedrich August von Bischwang, who was without a body heir, sold Körchow in 1726 for 24,405 thalers to the ducal Holstein Privy Councilor and Canon Matthias von Clausenheim .

After 1500, the sons Georg (Jürgen) from Jürgen (Georg) von Bischwang and Carl von Cyriacus von Bischwang sat on Zühr. In 1640 shares were pledged and in 1641 Christian von Bischwang sold the Zühr estate to von Züle .

Jürgen (Georg) von Bischwang had also owned the goods in Tüschow and Granzin since 1550. As the ducal Mecklenburg captain of the castle and Vogtei Wesenburg, he and his brother Cyriacus had to put 12 armored riders and knight horses against the Lübeckers in 1506. As the ducal Mecklenburg council of the dukes Balthasar and Magnus, he was a witness in Rostock and in Ribnitz monastery in 1491 . In 1556 his son Georg (Jürgen) von Bischwang sold Granzin with the Wendish Feldmark of the lost village of Solkow to Albrecht von Lützow for 1000 marks.

By 1700, many of the Bischwangs were in the military and in the Swedish service. Christoff Daniel was Royal Swedish Rittmeister in Narwa in 1684 . Christian Ulrich was royal Swedish lieutenant colonel in Wismar in 1714 and Adolf Friedrich in 1701 royal Swedish captain in the Guards on foot in Stade . On November 4, 1726, Adolf Friedrich had sent a request to the Swedish King Friedrich to accept himself and his brothers into the Swedish knighthood. No information is available about the outcome.

Maria Dorothea von Bischwang lived from 1751 with her sister Hedwig in Neubukow , who was a widow. She cared for her sister until her death in 1775 and then went to the Malchow Monastery as a conventual , where she died in 1794 as the last of her family. In fact, the Bischwangs had already lost their property and thus their independence at the end of the 17th century. The von Bischwangs have died out.
