Boeselager , also Böselager , is the name of a German noble family that originally came from the ore monastery of Magdeburg .
history
In a peace charter of Archbishop Dietrich von Magdeburg of 12 April 1363 Gender was first documented. She calls the Boseleg with dren buren zu Stemmern near Magdeburg as arch-penal. In the first half of the 15th century, Henning Boseleger , feudal bearer of a manor in Wolmirsleben , began the uninterrupted line of trunks in 1466 .
After his descendants sat at the Ritterhof until 1562, they established two lines in the county of Mansfeld in the following years . One line took possession of the Meisberg manor , the other the Quenstedt manor . Both belonged to the knighthood of the Mansfeld counts. Another line found a new home in the Frisian Jeverland . This lineage gained great influence and wealth, and it continued to expand over time. So she was able to acquire Honeburg near Osnabrück around 1600 , Eggermühlen in 1654 and Grumsmühlen in 1672 (today part of the municipality of Langen ).
Moving further south, members of the family bought the Haus Nehlen estate in Welver - Berwicke in 1682 and the Höllinghofen castle in Arnsberg - Voßwinkel in 1754, and in the next few years they also acquired the Heessen rule with the Heessen castle as well as the Wolfsberg , Dahl , Kurl manors and Middelburg in Westphalia . In the 19th century, the manors Peppenhoven , Heimerzheim (today part of the Swisttal municipality ) with Heimerzheim Castle and the former Schillingscapellen monastery , the former Belderbuscher Hof (now Boeselager Hof ) in Bonn , Kreuzberg Castle and Selikum (today a district of the Community Neuss ) in the Rhineland .
Three lines newly founded in the 17th century, the members of which belonged to various Westphalian-Rhenish knighthoods , then carried the baron title under customary law. The oldest of these lines, the Honeburger , was already extinguished in 1793. The members of the Heeßen line received a royal Prussian confirmation of the baron status on December 20, 1823, the members of the Eggermühlen line carried the baron title according to customary law .
