history
builder
Innhausen Castle was built around 1350 by Ino Tjarksena, judge of Östringen in East Friesland . His son was Popko Inen († 1387), chief of Innhausen. Popko was a formerly loyal ally of Edo Wymeken (also Edo Wiemken ) from the Papinga family, since 1355 chief of the Gaue Östringen and Rüstringen . In the course of armed conflicts between Edo Wymeken and his competitors, the castles of Glarenburg near Accum and Tjarkhausen were destroyed in 1387 . In the further course Popko Inen changed sides and allied himself with Ocko I. tom Brok , who was trying to unite East Frisia under his rule at that time.
Change of ownership
Edo Wymeken killed Popko Inen in a dispute about it in 1387 and appropriated his Innhausen Castle. Then he gave the castle to Iko Onneken († 1454), the chief of the neighboring Sengwarden , who also married the daughter of the previous owner, Hilleda Tjarksena. At the same time, Iko Onneken followed his father-in-law Popko Inen as chief in Innhausen. His grandson, Folef (also Fulf) Alksen Onneken († 1531), chief of Innhausen, inherited the neighboring rulership of Knyphausen in 1496 from his cousin , Iko Onneken the Younger, chief of Knyphausen, and thus united both rulers , according to which the sex of the Onneken then only mentioned Innhausen and Knyphausen.
Grinding
Since the family subsequently took up residence at Kniphausen Castle and Lütetsburg Castle, Innhausen Castle was neglected, fell into disrepair and was finally demolished in 1531 . The cleared stones were later used by Tido zu Innhausen and Knyphausen (1582–1638) to build a castle in Tidofeld , but in 1677 it fell victim to a military dispute between the Innhausen and Knyphausen families and thus also fell into ruins . A hill remained from Innhausen Castle, on which the Sengwarden mill stood from 1593 to 1626. Around 1850 this hill was also leveled. The name Innhausen was then transferred to a neighboring farm .
expropriation
- Incorporation into the rule of Jever: Folef's son, Tido zu Innhausen and Knyphausen (1500–1565), builder of the Klunderburg in Emden , was imperial direct lord of Inhusen and Kniphusen . He took part in the Battle of Mühlberg on the Protestant side in 1547 , was captured and ostracized . Thus it was related to the sex Innhausen and Knyphausen Maria, heiress of Jever from the house Papinga, the long-awaited event, like a thorn in the flesh of Jeverland plug end dominions Inhusen and Kniphusen their rule Jever incorporate . She did not live to see the end of the subsequent trial before the Reich Chamber of Commerce;
- Incorporation into the county of Oldenburg: according to her will from 1573, Maria von Jever bequeathed her land to the Count of Oldenburg, who was also related to her . When she died in 1575, the Oldenburg family immediately took possession of the inheritance. They, who had also inherited Maria’s claims, won the process on November 20, 1623. The Innhausen and Knyphausen family had to put up with the loss of this part of their original property and received 50,000 thalers as compensation , after a settlement between Count Anton Günther von Oldenburg and Philipp Wilhelm zu Innhausen and Knyphausen had been granted the title of imperial baron of Innhausen and Knyphausen. An annual pension was also agreed, which was paid out 340 years later until a transfer agreement with the state of Lower Saxony in 1964.
Buyback
In 1862 Prince Edzard zu Innhausen and Knyphausen bought back Kniphausen Castle, which had been lost in 1623, and in 1876 acquired the neighboring castle of Innhausen, so that the family's two ancestral seats were again its property.
