history

The family name, derived from the place Broitzem , was first mentioned in a document in 1234 with Bertoldus de Brothsiem . According to an assumed line of tribe , his son was the knight Martinus de Brotzem , who died in 1291. It is recorded around 1273 in the 2nd volume of the city of Braunschweig's document book. His son was Ludolf († 1316), and his son of the same name is recorded in Braunschweig from 1321 to 1336. He died around 1349. His son is said to have been Jordan von Broitzem, with whom the secured family line begins. He was a bone cutter and house owner in Braunschweig , mentioned in a document in 1350 and died in 1371/72. The family, organized in the cloth trade , also belonged to the Braunschweig patriciate . She stood from 1400 to 1653 consistently councilors of New Town and Old Town as well as multiple Braunschweiger mayor.

Bernt von Broitzem (1512–1561) was mayor of Braunschweiger Neustadt from 1552–1559 and married to Elisabeth von Vechelde, who died in 1583. She came from one of the most respected patrician families in Brunswick. One of her brothers was the mayor of Lübeck, Hermann X. von Vechelde .

Bernt von Broitzem's niece Dorothea von Broitzem († 1594) was the second wife of his brother-in-law Tile III in 1570 . von Vechelde (1525–1596), who was a tailor , guild master and long-distance trader in cloth, hides and leather, a member of the Braunschweig council and 1587–1595 mayor of the old town .

One branch of the von Broizem family established itself in Riga from the 17th century , another in Saxony , while in Braunschweig itself it became extinct around 1800.

The Prussian recognition of the nobility took place on October 7, 1706 in Berlin for the Prussian Rittmeister Ulrich von Broitzem auf Kochstedt.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms shows the lily cross (Lilienstabkreuz). Sometimes this was mistakenly emblazoned and depicted as four cross-shaped, outward-facing lilies . The nobility letter of 1706 then also shows four red lilies set in a cross, facing away from each other, in silver. On the helmet with red and silver covers an open red flight, each side covered with a silver bar on which two red lilies stand side by side.

There is a historical depiction of the coat of arms at the Andreaskirche in Braunschweig.
