County Mark Coat of Arms

The coat of arms of the Courland von der Brüggen is in the renovation diploma of June 6, 1548, which Emperor Charles V (1500 - 1558) had issued in Augsburg for the Livonian order councilor Philip von der Brügen († 1556). It is painted a "anererbtes and run for centuries" and described the family coat of arms : in the divided coat of arms above the double-headed eagle , down the sloping grid , on the helmet of the flight , as it also the coat of arms of the County of Mark led. This coat of arms can be found in 1340 on the seal of Rotger to der Bruggen, who lived on the estate of the same name , today's Haus Brüggen , in the Westphalian town of Flierich ( Hamm district ). The Westphalian family grew out of this tribe. Ropert von der Brüggen, who had this coat of arms, testified "as my ancestors owned it".

From the documents of the von der Brüggen family it can be seen that the ancestors of the Courland von der Brüggen belonged to the nobility of the Westphalian county of Mark since the first half of the 14th century . Philipp von der Brüggen lived in the Duchy of Kleve around 1485 , his son Evert also Eberhard (* / † unknown) had an excellent education and stayed in Courland after a few stays, he was an order vassal in Courland from 1485 to 1499, together with his brothers Heinrich († 1501) and Gerd († 1529) there. The three brothers were vassals of the Teutonic Order , Heinrich held the office of Land Marshal in Livonia and Gerd was Commander of the Teutonic Order in Goldingen in Latvia . The son of Eberhard Philip I von der Brüggen († 1556), received the following transmission through the letter of Landmeister Hermann von Brüggenei in July 1544: “... for himself and his right heirs the man from Bruges sawing hand up all and each of his Lehngüter “granted, and such total hand justice by Heinrich von Galen , Landmeister of Livonia, and Sigismund III. has yet to be confirmed. On May 18, 1611 compare the brothers (. Barthold († 1631), Lord of Stendenund Eberhard III († 1628), Lord of Rinseln) from Bruggen: "Although seel. Philipp von der Brüggen, the grandfather, grateful memory, from time to time the masters, as this country's authority, on his heirs they acquired collective hand righteousness through merit and left to his heirs - this is how both brothers want to love, accept and hold the same sawing hand in all cases, however, the male sex of those from Brüggen, sawing companions ... ”.
