Coat of arms of those of the Brincken

Brincken , also known as Brinken, is a noble family originally from Westphalia , who took possession of Kurland in the 15th century . A gender of the same name, later also with the same coat of arms, from the Diocese of Verden settled in Braunschweig in the 16th century . An agnatic connection - male line of descent - with the Kurländer is not proven.

Courland and other branches of the family continue to this day.

history

Courland

The Courland von den Brincken appeared with Arnold von den Brincken , who was sent to the Pope by the Rigian Chapter in 1424 . In 1435 he made a settlement with the Teutonic Order as the Rigischer cathedral provost . John of the Brincken uncertificated on September 9, 1461, when he in the area in Ventspils with 16 hooks country invested was. From March 26, 1464 he appeared as a secular brother of the Teutonic Order.

On October 17, 1620, Ludolff von den Brincken had his family enrolled in the 1st class of the Courland Knight's Bank (No. 40). Through the Russian Senatsukas (No. 2823), the entire family received on March 3, 1862 the recognition of the right to use the baron title .

In Courland , the Brincken u. a. the goods Bershof (Bērz-Sīpele), Dingshof, Nilten, Ruhnen, Schlossberg, Sessilen, Seppen, Sparen (Spāre), Wallathen, Wormen (Vārme), Zetzern and Ziepelhoff (Bērz-Sīpele).

The Westphalian branch of the family, which was last also based in Lippe , found its beginning with Arthur von den Brincken († 1826).

Several members of the family, especially royal Prussian officers, also settled in Prussia. Already before 1713 Ernst Johann von den Brincken acquired the Baugskorallen estate (Baugštininkai) near Memel . In 1767 the royal Prussian ensign Otto Ernst von den Brincken from the Laidsen house in Kurland owned the estate. The royal Prussian lieutenant colonel Moritz von den Brincken († 1806) owned Saussienen until 1789 , as well as Dietrichsdorf , Lindenau and Schönwalde . He died inherited.
From the house of Nilten and Wormen, Kasimir von den Brincken († 1805) owned Mertensdorf and Götzlack from 1773 and Major Friedrich von den Brincken († 1753) owned Langensdorf in the Prussian Eylau district in the last year of his life. The Austro-Hungarian field marshal lieutenant and owner of the Bohemian Infantry Regiment No. 18 Jacob Friedrich von den Brincken († 1791) is also assigned to the Prussian branches of the family .
The Prussian houses have all gone out.

In 1805 Josef von den Brincken from Mitau became a forest master in Baden .

On July 16 and September 26, 1908, Helene Baronin von den Brincken received the Saxon recognition of the baron status and was entered in the royal Saxon nobility book (no. 293).

Braunschweig

Claus von Brincken († 1639), who immigrated from the Diocese of Verden , acquired citizenship in Braunschweig on February 21, 1597, where he was later a councilor himself. The trunk row begins with him . The pastor of Groß Twülpstedt Ernst Conrad von Brincken († 1757) postulated a kinship with the Courland von den Brincken and adapted their name spelling and the coat of arms, which was continued by his descendants.

On December 5, 1823, the baron status for the Polish hunter and forest master Julius von den Brincken (* 1789, † 1846) was confirmed by decree of the Senate Deputation in Warsaw . His younger brother, the Braunschweig Privy Councilor and Provost of Clus and Brunshausen, Georg Ludwig Adolf Eduard von den Brincken , was awarded the title of baron by King Friedrich Wilhelm IV on May 30, 1853 . On December 20, 1853, the Braunschweig baronial status was confirmed.

From 1836 to 1853, Zirke bei Birnbaum in the then Grand Duchy of Posen was also part of the Prussian property ownership. In the middle of the 19th century, the family provided a major and state stable master in Zirke and a councilor in Frankfurt an der Oder .
