history

The Gender Brand (t) is the Neumark nobility attributed and was probably with the German Order of francs immigrated. The family was first mentioned in a document in 1275 with Everhardus de Brand. The safe trunk line begins with Georg von Brand (1465–1499). The family was able to spread from Neumark in the 17th century, initially via Sweden to Old Livonia , and finally, from the 18th century on, in Westphalia near Bochum , in Pomerania and in the Grand Duchy of Posen . The family produced two Swedish lines , von Brandten (No. 1376), naturalized in 1690, introduced in 1701 to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood , and von Brandt (No. 1365), naturalized in 1691, introduced in 1700 to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood . Both progenitors were evidently Heinrich Wulf von Brandt (en), Georg's son, who was captured by the Swedish field marshal Åke Tott as a corporal in Roman imperial service near Greifswald in 1631 , immediately entered the Swedish service and rose to the position of sergeant / quartermaster . Most recently he settled in Livonia, where he became director of the city of Wolmar . In 1643 he and his two cousins ​​Christian and Jobst Friedrich von Brandt received from Elector Friedrich Wilhelm von Brandenburg the renewal of the feudal letter for the New Mark Hof Hermsdorf and the village of Wurtzig ibid., With all accessories. Christer von Brandt, who has been at Fehtenhof since 1732, was enrolled in the Livonian Knighthood in 1742 . The manor Fehtenhof, 13 km north of Dorpat , remained in the possession of his descent until 1859 . The Swedish-Livonian Brandt died out in the male line in 1735 (no. 1365) and after 1841 (no. 1376) .

Other estates in addition to Hermsdorf and Wurtzig, both districts of Friedeberg , are named: Blumenfelde, Büssow and Lauchstädt in the district of Friedeberg, Crossen , Kähmen and Morzig in the district of Crossen , Grahlow , Lypke, Pollinchen and Zantoch in the district of Landsberg , Zerbow near Frankfurt (Oder) and Stavenow in the Ost-Prignitz district , all in Brandenburg , as well as Büggeney , Kortwig and Stiepel near Bochum, plus Horst in the Regenwalde district , Jatzel in the Greifenberg district , Parlin in the Naugard district and Ehrenberg and Schellin in the Pyritz district in Pomerania, and finally Prittsche in the district Meseritz , Posen. Before 1675, Korbenhof and Semershof in the Marienburg parish also belonged to the Swedish line, which later acquired Fehtenhof . Furthermore, this also owned Förarp in the parish of Tutaryds, Kronobergs län . The von Brandt (No. 1365) were also owned by Möön, Simers, Rosack / Rehsack and Reptal.

On August 11, 1742 was issued a lift in the Prussian count conditions for Sophie Caroline of Camas , born of Brandt (1686-1766) and on 15 December 1794, the children are from the unstandesgemäßen annulled marriage of Christoph Ernst von Brandt (1738- 1792) have received the Prussian nobility legitimation. Both of these ennoblings concern dead descendants of the Neumark von Brand (t), but not the family itself.
