origin

The origin of the gender and the origin and meaning of the family name are not certain. References lead to the Hohen- and Niederbrelingen farms, first mentioned in 1438 in the treasury register of the Grand Bailiff of Celle under the name To der Bredelge . They belonged to the former municipality of Oberhode in the Osterheide , formerly Fallingbostel district , now part of the Heidekreis district . The owners were Alberd (Hohenbrelingen) and Henneke (Niederbrelingen), who did not yet have a family name. 1511 were named in the treasury register of the Burgvogtei Celle Alberth tho Bredelynge (Hohenbrelingen) and Hans tho Bredelynge (Niederbrelingen). Both courtyards probably still belonged together at that time and were only created through the division of a large or original courtyard. In 1593 Ernst II of Braunschweig-Lüneburg enfeoffed Heinrich zu Hohenbreling with the court he lived in. In 1618 the register of residents of the Fallingbostel district bailiff in Oberhode shows Heinrich tor Breling (Hohenbrelingen) and Hanß tor Breling (Niederbrelingen), and Bockhorn No. 6 (Diershof) Carsten von der Breling.

Another indication that the Brelie family comes from the To der Bredelge farm, which was still undivided at the time , is the marriage of Heinrich zur Brelie from Hohenbrelingen to Jeversen , a current part of the municipality of Wietze , in 1709, witnessed by his brother Carsten zur Brelie was on Hohenbrelingen and includes the naming within the gender. When Heinrich died in 1722, he was entered in the church register with the family name von der Brelie . This is what the owners of Hohenbrelingen and Niederbrelingen zur Brelie called themselves and the family members who left the farm accepted the addition "from the" . Accordingly, these are not nobility names, but regionally typical place names.

In the course of the establishment of the Bergen military training area , the resettlement of the population and evacuation of the entire area of ​​the municipality of Oberhode including the Niederbrelingen and Hohenbrelingen farms took place from summer 1935 to May 1936. With very few exceptions, all buildings and signs have disappeared since the early 1970s. Today there are only desert areas here .
