Bock from Wülfingen
Bock von Wülfingen is the name of a Lower Saxon nobility family .
history
The noble family was first mentioned in a document in 1175 at Poppenburg Castle near Hildesheim with "Hermann miles de Wlvingi" (Hermannus de Wulvingen) . The safe trunk series begins around 1230 with Arnold von Wülfinghausen (also Wülfingen , Bock ). The dynasty was resident as Burgmannen on the prince-bishop's Poppenburg until 1387 and in 1299 also had it in pledge possession; it was therefore also called "Bock von Poppenburg".
In 1241, Bishop Conrad mentions a Hermann Bock von Wülfingen. The village of Wülfingen is first mentioned in a document in 1290 as a founding of the knight Albert Bock, as a fief of the Counts of Spiegelberg . Until the end of the 16th century, the Wülfinger " Barchfried " (a residential tower next to the church ) remained the ancestral seat of the Bock von Wülfingen family. The Bock family from Wülfingen still has the patronage of the Evangelical Lutheran. Wülfingen parish.
The Bock family had lived there since the city of Gronau was founded in 1298 and had several Burgmannshöfe . After a fire, the Burgmannshof, which is now used as a town museum, named Engelbrecht'scher Hof after a later owner family , was rebuilt in 1590 with the back leaning against the town wall. In 1628 the line died out.
In Elze are the goats , as the sources they call, mentioned in documents in 1315 and were probably already established there. The Bock'sche Gutshaus, built in 1748 by the later electoral Hanoverian general Ernst Wilhelm Bock von Wülfingen (1707-1790) and still owned by the family today, stands on an early medieval royal court in the immediate vicinity of the Peter and Paul Church founded by Charlemagne . It is a two-story, thirteen-axis half-timbered building.
The manor Bockerode had been owned by the family since at least the beginning of the 16th century.
Alternately, the eldest of the Bockerode , Gronau and Elze lines had been Erbdrost since 1371 and Chamberlain of the Hildesheim Monastery since 1400 .
Georg Bock von Wülfingen was entered in the royal Saxon nobility register on November 26, 1913 under the number 483 .
