Brockhusen (noble family)
Brockhusen , also called Brockhausen or Bruchhausen in some branches of the family , is a German nobility that still exists today.
Origin and history
The knightly family, whose original home is seen in Lower Saxony , immigrated to Pomerania via Mecklenburg at the beginning of the 13th century. With Conradus de Brochusen, who belonged to the retinue of Prince Nikolaus von Werle , a gender is mentioned for the first time under the name Brochusen - as a witness of the city of Stralsund on October 14, 1271. In 1278 Gerwinus de Brochusen appears as a landowner in Stralsund. The line of tribe begins with Clawes Brochusen in 1420. Three lines of the sex had already formed before that, which were land-based on the island of Wollin and in the diocese of Cammin and whose exact connection is not certain.
In Westphalia there were several knightly families with similar names, but different tribes and different coats of arms. However, some branches of the gender discussed here had settled in Westphalia, where they bore the name of Bruchausen .

Family coat of arms : In blue an upright red fox. Three natural peacock feathers on the helmet with a blue and red cover. Or. in blue a soaring natural fox; on the helmet with blue and gold covers three natural peacock feathers, each with a gold star. Seals from the 16th century already show the fox running, but not yet the stars added later or the bars in the shield.
The branches based in Westphalia carried a variant of the coat of arms derived from the family coat of arms: three golden stars in blue (sometimes in red) placed in bars, below on a green lawn (or three mountain) a running silver fox (sometimes represented as a wolf). On the helmet with blue-silver covers, six natural-colored peacock feathers in two rows.
Later coat of arms: in blue a narrow golden bar, accompanied at the top by three golden stars standing next to each other, at the bottom by a natural fox fleeing to the right; on the helmet with blue and gold covers three peacock feathers, each with a gold star.
The north window in St. Mary's Church in Dramburg in western Pomerania , where the family was wealthy, shows the coat of arms of the von Brockhusen family at the top left.
In the Baltic Book of Arms. Coats of arms of all the noble families belonging to the knights of Livonia, Estonia, Courland and Oesel (1882) is a coat of arms of those of Brockhausen depicted with three silver lilies on a black background. There is no regular relationship to this sex.
