history

The family is first recorded in Lübeck and probably came from the Netherlands. The von in their name was originally not a nobility predicate , but rather, as is more common in northern Germany and the Netherlands , indicated a name of origin .

In 1674 Claus von Brocken acquired the property in front of the Holstentor by the Reiferbahn on today's Schwartauer Allee from the Reformed community in Lübeck . After legal disputes, the transfer of ownership was not completed until 1682. Here he opened the first art and commercial gardening in Lübeck in 1683. The secured lineage of the sex begins with his son (or nephew?) Johann Mathias Brocken (* August 20, 1699; † 1735). While the nursery in front of the Holsten Gate went to the Steltzner family via Claus von Brocken's widow, in 1831 to the Hartwig family and existed as Vorwerker tree nurseries until the 20th century , his descendants made their own nurseries in front of the Mühlentor and at the St.-Jürgen-Kirchhof on. These included Christian von Brocken (1730–1788) and Christian Hermann von Brocken and Friedrich von Brocken, who were listed in the 1798 address book. The main sales area was Russia. Johann Friedrich von Brocken (* 1797) joined the college of Novgorod drivers in 1824 and was the senior man in charge when the Lübeck merchants were founded in 1853 . The companies Albert Lindberg, formerly Christian von Brocken Gärtnerei, seed shop and tree nursery, Ratzeburger Allee 8 (later 11), as well as Friedrich von Brocken & Sons , art and commercial gardening, seed shop, Friedrich Wilhelmstraße (today Stresemannstraße) 22, existed until the end 19th century.

Georg Philipp von Brocken (* 1798 in Lübeck) came to Mecklenburg and bought real estate here. He was appointed to the domain council and received the Mecklenburg-Schwerinsche recognition of his (alleged) Dutch nobility by Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II on May 18, 1858 .
