Boehn (noble family)
Boehn , also Böhnen , Böhn or Behn , is the name of an ancient noble family from the Duchy of Pomerania .
history
The traditional Pomeranian family von Boehn comes from Bönen near Kamen in Westphalia , according to tradition . The von Boehn family first appears in a document on July 12, 1279 with Johannes de Bone . 1308 an Otto de Böhnen is named. As early as the 15th century, three tribes appeared, which up to now could not be integrated into a common filiation, but without a doubt belong to the same Boehn family.
In the Duchy of Pomerania , several members of the Böhnen family took on senior positions in the state at an early stage: Jürgen Böhnen accompanied Pomeranian Duke Bogislaw X on his trip to Jerusalem in 1496 . ( Crulow - later spelling: Krolow - is given as the residence of a Georg Böhnen in Hinterpommern .) In 1545 Johann von Böhnen was court marshal of Wolgast . Georg von Böhnen was Oberhofmarschall zu Rügenwalde in 1630 . Afterwards Frantz von Böhnen was ducal court master and captain of Rügenwalde.
Kulsow , which was part of the family from 1402 to 1945, is an important ancestral property of the family . Another important estate of the Boehns was Sagerke ; it is also assigned to the 1st tribe of the family. The Besow estate , after which the 2nd tribe was named, was with the family from 1480 to 1857. The Swedish line finally leads back to the Gronikow estate.
1731 the introduction into the Swedish knighthood took place for the brothers Svante Casper and Ludwig Gustav . In 1813 the family was incorporated into the Bavarian registers with permission to continue the baron class.
A family association has existed since 1874.
