history

House Brüggen in Bönen, North Rhine-Westphalia

The historical traditions following the gentlemen center came from bridges already the 16th century also from Westphalia in the Old Livonia . It is very likely that these are the descendants of the Brüggen family , the ancient noble family of the "Knights to der Brüggen", to whom it is said: "Men of this famous noble family from the Seseketal once moved east with the Teutonic Order ." Later family members went to Russia , Prussia and Poland . Another branch called Fock was located in Sweden , whose common origin with the Baltic Focks is assumed, but is not verifiable. The ancestors of the Brucken family belonged to a family that supported the Duke of Braunschweig against the Emperor Conrad as early as 914.

Naming

Fockenhof Manor (Bukaišiai)

According to written and oral records , Engelbrecht von Brucken, from the Teutonic Order based in the Baltic States , had received the order to ship recruited soldiers to Riga . On the island of Rügen , the ship was hit by a severe hurricane and lost the rudder and masts , only the foremast remained. Engelbrecht managed to deliver the ship, the crew and the soldiers to Riga with only this foremast, who then successfully took part in the Battle of the Seriza (1501–1503). In recognition of his deed and in honor of his courage, he was given the name "called Fock" (see named name ). Since that time he and his descendants were called "von Brucken called Fock" (also "von Brucken called Fock"). In addition, the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Wolter von Plettenberg († 1535) gave him the Allodial-Gut Turpentin, located in Kurland , which was renamed "Fockenhof", as free property. Otto Hermann von der Howen (1740-1806), who had worked for the "Russian Party" and was rewarded with Fockenhof, among other things, was later noted as the other owner .

Courland and Estonian lines

Kurland line

A complete pedigree , which Leopold von Zedlitz-Neukirch had and which he had described in the New Prussian Adels Lexicon , refers to Hermann von Brucken, who was married to Lucia von Schwarzhoff. His son Engelbrecht von Brucken was married to Margarethe von Blomberg , he is considered to be the progenitor of the Kurland line and was given the name “Fock”. Engelbrecht's grandson, who was also called Engelbrecht (* before 1632), became governor . His son Georg (* 1637) was a royal Swedish major .

After handwritten notes by Heinrich Leopold von Brucken called Fock (1724–1803), Georg von Brucken called Fock returned to Courland after seven years of service. In the meantime, his uncle Gabriel von Brucken had sold the Fockenhof, which was Georg's hereditary farm, to the Duke of Courland and Semigallion Friedrich Kettler (1569–1642). All attempts to acquire the property again or to get its inheritance back failed. The son of Georg Christoph Johann von Brucken called Fock had stood up against Duke Ernst Johann von Biron (1690–1772) from Courland and atone for eight years imprisonment. Two years after his release, he died of the health effects of imprisonment. His son Christoph Johann (1660–1750) continued the Courland line, while his older brother Friedrich Casimir von Brucken called Fock (1751–1819) moved to East Prussia .

Line Estonia

On the other hand, the origin of the von Brucken gen. Fock is traced back to the “von Fock” family from the Kollota or Fockenhof family (see possessions) in Estonia. On August 30, 1651 the brothers Märten, Heinrich and Gideon Fock received the naturalization as Swedish nobles. You were enrolled in the Estonian Knighthood in 1745 . They were able to prove their nobility on February 8, 1745 from Swedish times, but were otherwise an old noble family from Westphalia, which had immigrated at the time of the Teutonic Order. The line of ancestors began with Georg Fock from the House of Bruges, he was Drost and Herr zu Löwenburg (This is how Rehbinder writes in his register. P. 197 both names: perhaps they should be Brüggen and Löwenberg or Leuenberg). Georg Fock is mentioned by Hupel as the probable progenitor of the Kurland branch of the Focks. In Courland, he called himself “von Brucken called Fock”, but was not recorded in the Courland nobility register.

Between 1412 and 1945 there is evidence of a manor in Stücken , a village in the Potsdam-Mittelmark district in Brandenburg . With the purchase of the property in 1797 by Heinrich Ernst von Brucken, called Fock, the almost 150-year-old ownership of the von Bruckens began. Heinrich Ernst von Brucken's son, Heinrich Friedrich von Brucken, died childless in 1872. So the estate fell to Baron Louis von Brucken , who came from Russia, and his wife Anna.
