history

The history of the noble von Blanckenhagen family began in 1588 with the pastor Simon Blanckenhagen, who was employed as a preacher in the parish of Pernau. Its origin is related to Pomerania, since there, in the 16th century, some preachers with the name Blanckenhagen lived and Pastor Simon had close ties to Stralsund . This is documented by the protocol prescription of the Pernau city ​​council of January 15, 1624. This assumption is also accepted as the country of origin because he had his son Simon II (* 1589) study at the universities of Greifswald and Rostock . This son became a pastor at the Holy Spirit Church in Reval in 1617 , his older son Hans (1631–1684) became a merchant and the younger son Simon III. († 1681) also pastor. Hans Blankenhagen († 1684) was to become the progenitor of the now still existing noble family. His great-grandson the businessman Peter Heinrich Blanckenhagen d. Ä. (1723–1794) moved to Riga in the middle of the 18th century and built a wealthy and recognized family. A foundation was established under his leadership , which later received high attention as the basis of the Livonian non-profit and economic society. In recognition of his work and his social commitment, the Livonian Knighthood granted his widow and three sons indigenous status in 1795 and they were included in the Livonian nobility register (registration number 224). On August 21, 1794, the family had acquired the German imperial nobility with the nobility predicate “von”. Peter Heinrichs the Elder Ä. Son Johann Christoph (1764–1816) moved to Amsterdam as a merchant , two other sons Wilhelm (1761–1840) and Peter Heinrich the Elder. J. (1765–1802) became farmers and, with their descendants, became part of the Livonian landed gentry . He was followed by his son Johann (1798–1884) and under his sons Heinrich Peter Gottlieb and Gottlieb Johann, the Baltic line was divided into the houses Drobbusch and Allasch.
