Brummer (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Brummer , also Brümmer or Bruemmer, is the family name of a German-Baltic aristocratic family that was first documented in 1529 with a Vollmar (Wolmar) Brummer who died in 1545. In the next 300 years or more, the family expanded across the Baltic states to Sweden , Finland and Russia . Original lines of the family were the two tribes Tammik and Warrang-Seijershof. The branches Odensee and Gall were formed from the 2nd trunk, some of which have already died out in the male trunk or were lost in the confusion of genealogy.

Origin of name

It is assumed that the family name, which was very common in the Low German regions from Bremen to Rostock , derives from the word "Brummere, Brammere" = the roaring, the screaming, dialect hum, brammen. The best-known namesake "Brummer" were in the Rehdingen region between Stade and the estuary. The “Rehdinger Junker” were a kind of peasant nobility who had sat on free farms since ancient times and led a more rural than knightly life. Among these Junker families there were two named Brummer, but they had different coats of arms, after which they were referred to as the Brummer with the "Haberstrauch" and those with the "Wolfsangeln". The "Wolfsangelwappen" was continued by the Baltic tribe Warrang-Seyershof.

In addition to these two Rehdingen families, there were several bourgeois and peasant families in northern Germany who bore the name Brummer: for example in 1228 in Hamburg , in 1351 in Lüneburg a Nikolaus Brummere, in Rostock Peter Brummer or Brümmer was councilor in 1536 and mayor in 1552 and among the old Ratzeburg farming families found a Törpt Brümmer from 1609 to 1614 , finally merchants who immigrated from the Bremen Abbey in Riga before 1700 , such as Lüdert Brümmer († 1733) and Friedrich Brümmer, elder of the great guild († 1753).

origin

The question of origin for the entire sex Brummer / Bruemmer was not unambiguously and unequivocally found. It is only assumed that it came from Lower Saxony . While the Tammik tribe had a different coat of arms with three bells (bell coats of arms), the Warrang-Seyershof tribe carried the so-called "Wolfsangelwappen".

Two genders (tribes)

In the case of the sexes mentioned here, also referred to as tribes, two tribes founded in the Baltic States are to be distinguished, whose blood relationship, despite the partly identical coat of arms, is not established and has even been vigorously contested by one tribe.

Tammik tribe

The first family (tribe) in Old Livonia began with Wolmar Brummer, he was the lien owner of the Zöeschen Gut Rocht in Wierland in 1529 and died before 1545. In the Wolmar Brummer's seal of 1558 there is the “bell coat of arms ”, but with only one bell. His son of the same name Wolmar II. Brummer acquired the Tammik estate (see possessions) and is the progenitor of the Tammik tribe. He had two sons Hans I. Brummer and Magnus Brummer, Hans I. received Tammik. Magnus was enfeoffed with goods in the Wiek and Jerwen . Its branch died out in the third generation of the male line. The Tammik tribe continued with Hans I. Brummer, he became the master of Tammik, had four sons, who in turn became the progenitors of four lines that spread in the Baltic provinces , Russia , Sweden and Finland . The oldest line went out in Sweden in 1859 as Brümmer. The second line, which acquired Livonia in the 17th century , continued to flourish. The third line (Illick) and the fourth line (Tammik) remained in Estonia, of which some relatives existed in Sweden, perhaps in Finland and Russia.

In Sweden, a son of Hans Heinrich auf Illick (3rd line), the Swedish Colonel Magnus Johann, who in 1709 - after the defeat in the Battle of Poltava - the Swedish King Karl XII. (1682–1718) who escaped to Bender and fought alongside the king in the famous " Kalabalik ", was naturalized in 1723 and introduced with registration number 1772. His descendants flourished in Sweden, while in 1818, with the registration number 112 in Finland enrolled branch in 1856 went out. Another branch of Magnus Johann's stepbrother went out in Finland in 1884, and another branch associated with the Livonian family was recognized and enrolled there in 1892.

2nd line: Warrang-Seyershof

The second gender (tribe) begins with the Swedish lieutenant Heinrich Johann Brummer († around 1685). His son Johann Ulrich († 1704), was captain of the Dragoons - Regiment - Welling , he had a pledged property in Ingermanland and fell on August 20 1704 in the conquest of Narva by the Russians. He left two sons Ulrich Johann II. Herr on Warrang (Estonia) and Engelbrecht Wilhelm Herr on Seyershof (Livonia), who bought Odensee in 1745 (see possessions) and founded the second Livonian line. Engelbrecht's descendants lived in Russia until the revolution of 1917. The sons of his younger son Jakob Engelbrecht, Adrian Christoph Engelbrecht - Herr auf Odensee and Jakob Georg Friedrich Herr auf Sall (Estonia), were the progenitors of the Odensee and Gall branches.

coat of arms

The tribe Brummer made by Tammik led the following arms of Brummer: In the blue coat of arms are three golden bells (2 to 1), the crest is blue gold, from the torse confers the right golden and left blue flight , between a golden bell. This coat of arms was also adopted in the Swedish branches Brümmer.

The Brummer tribe from the Warrang-Seyershof house carried the Brummers coat of arms from the ancient Brummers family in the county of Redingen (Rehdingen): two wolf tang arranged in a silver coat of arms . The helmet cover is black and silver in the helmet decoration is a wolf tang.
