Brünnow (noble family)
Brünnow , in Courland Brunnow , is the name of an extinct, originally rear-Pomeranian noble family .
history
The Brünnow family named themselves after the village of Brünnow in the Schlawe district in Western Pomerania . The first bearer of the name is said to have been a Klaus Janigen , who after he was knighted , called himself Klaus von Brünnow from then on .
Pomerania
A document proves that Hans von Brünnow was the landowner in Brünnow in 1307 . The continuous secured trunk line began with Nemor von Brünnow who was married to Anna Swawe . In 1490 his son Claus exchanged his estate Brünnow with the Massow family for half the village of Quatzow (with the Popiel heath), which then remained with the family until 1686. In 1842 Trebenow was in the district of Cammin i. Pom. the family home. The Pomeranian line was decided by the professor of oriental philology at the University of Heidelberg, Rudolf Ernst Brünnow (1858-1917), after his son Erik (1899-1916) died a year before him.
Courland
In the 16th century the sex was divided into two lines, the Pomeranian and the Courlandic. The latter goes back to Michael von Brunnow († 1583), who in 1566 became senior counselor and chancellor of Duke Gotthard of Courland. In 1559 Michael Brunnow was enfeoffed in Courland with the Brüggen estate, located about 14 kilometers south of Dünaburg , which the family then owned until 1670. This older Courland line started around 1700.
Also in the 16th century, a younger branch from Kurland split off, donated by Jost von Brunnow († before 1561), councilor and deacon of the poor box in Rügenwalde . His sons Dionysius , Claus and Hans were born in Courland. The branch was divided into numerous branches and houses.
On October 17, 1620 Friedrich von Brunnow († 1651) enrolled in the 1st class of the Courland Knighthood . On January 26, 1817, the Russian staff captain Ivan Fedorowitsch von Brunnow († 1821) was entered in the 2nd part of the nobility register of the Moscow governorate . The Russian recognition of the baron title was issued in 1853 and 1862. The Russian real privy councilor and ambassador in London, Philipp von Brunnow (1797–1875) was raised to the status of Russian count on March 18, 1871 .
At the beginning of the 20th century the sex found its way out in the male line with Stanislaw von Brunnow (1859-1941), heir to Rudawa in Grodno . He was only married to a daughter Irena von Brunnow (1897–1979), Wlodomirz de Virion h. Leliwa (1889–1974), Polish captain, survived.
