history

origin

The chronicler Andreas Angelus mentions in his Annales Marchiae Brandenburgicae of 1598 that the Lords of Broesigke, together with members of other noble families , came to the Mark Brandenburg as early as 927 during a campaign of revolution by King Heinrich I and settled there permanently.

The yearbook of the German nobility names Arnold de Brosiko as the first member of the family, which was officially published in 1259. According to the Genealogical Handbook of the Nobility , the family with Thilo Broeseken was first mentioned in a document on March 12, 1344. Thilo appears in the document as custos ( lat. Guardian or guardian) at Golzow Castle. The uninterrupted line of trunks begins in 1375 with Thomas Brosecke .

Thile Broesigke was first mentioned in the Landbuch of Charles IV in 1375 as a tenant on "Kotzure" or "Kotzüre" (today Ketzür in the municipality of Beetzseeheide with the Ketzür manor ) in Havelland , an estate that was owned by the family for almost 500 years. A Heinrich Bröseke was mentioned as a margrave vassal for the neighboring Butzow , which today also belongs to Beetzseeheide . His great-grandson Heino von Broesigke (* 1525), the son of Wolf von Broesigke († 1532) and his wife Anna von Königsmarck , was a master at Ketzür, Gortz , Riewend , Paaren , Birkenhorst bei Zermützel , Brosigkslake, Rüben, Linde , Garlitz , Butzow , Döberitz and Seelenhorst in Havelland, Breitenfeld in Kursachsen and Großradegast in the Principality of Anhalt .

He was initially in imperial, later in electoral Brandenburg and finally ducal Saxon military service. The furnishing of the village church Ketzür includes an impressive epitaph , created between 1612 and 1614 by the Magdeburg sculptor Christoph Dehne , that shows Heyno and his family. Heyno or Heino ( Frisian short form of Heinrich ) is a key name of the von Broesigke family, which is still given to male relatives today.

Elevation of rank

An official elevation to the baron class is not known. Also no formal recognition of the baron title . Nevertheless, Heyno Friedrich von Brösigke (1641–1666) already appeared as an electoral Saxon baron, as did Amalie von Brösigke's father Friedrich Leberecht von Brösigke, who had the old hunting lodge in Löbnitz torn down in 1798 and had a simpler manor built there (owned until 1807) , led the title of baron. Goethe dubbed him Baron von Broesigke . The family's property has been expropriated without compensation and the European Court of Human Rights has denied the claim for compensation.

Family members in Austria , such as Tassilo Broesigke , have been using the family name without the predicate or part of the name since 1919, according to a legal prohibition.
