The ancient Brockhausen family, which was based in Livonia, was accepted into the German imperial nobility on February 29, 1748 in the person of Georg Gottfried von Brockhausen, heir to Dalholm and Neuhoff . In the Ritterbanks protocol of the Duchy of Courland and Semgallia it is documented for 30 July 1631 that the Brockhausen family was registered in 1st class. The first class belonged to the family, who, in addition to the notorio (fact), also provided sufficient evidence of their old nobility with procuration (evidence) of their ancestors and other documents.
