Coat of arms of those of Buseck

Buseck is the name of an old Lahngau noble family , whose first representatives Siboldus and Themarus de Buchcke are mentioned in a document in 1152. In the 14th century family members were Burgmannen in Gießen , as well as on the Gleiberg , Vetzberg and the Kalsmunt . In 1806 the Busecker Tal , which until then had been the imperial fief of the Ganerbe von Buseck and von Trohe (extinct in the male line in 1641), came to the Grand Duchy of Hesse , to which the family ceded jurisdiction ( patrimonial jurisdiction since 1806 ) in 1827. The line to Alten-Buseck belongs to the still existing Althessian knighthood .

Family branches

The family, which had large estates, especially on the upper Lahn and in the Wetterau, is divided into different branches, some of which have their own nicknames:

von Buseck (no nickname)

or occasionally with the addition "zu Alten-Buseck". The branch still exists today in Bavaria, Austria and America. The line can be traced back to Ulrich von Buseck, Burgmann on the Kalsmunt near Wetzlar, who was first mentioned in 1369. The line from Buseck to Eppelborn branches off from the Alten-Busecker line.

  • Another branch of this main line existed only a few generations in the 17th century under the name of Buseck zu Beuern , named after the goods in Beuern in the Busecker Tal .

von Buseck called Rüsser

Hofburg in Alten-Buseck

Has died out in the male line in 1575 with the death of Hartman von Buseck called Rüsser. The family's ancestral home was the Hofburg in Alten-Buseck. Already in 1265 a Ruser [v. Buseck] called. A Gerhard Ruser von Buseck was indicted and found guilty of murder, perjury and sheep theft in December 1466 by a feudal court of the Hessian knighthood.

von Buseck called Brand

Brandsburg in Alten-Buseck

Extinguished in the male line in 1813 with the death of Friedrich Ludwig Joseph von Buseck called Brand. The ancestral home of the family was the Brandsburg in Alten-Buseck. A farm in Beuern also belonged to this fiefdom of the Hessian landgrave, which was later sold to the von Buseck zu Beuern branch . The family basically died out at the end of the 14th century. Hildegard von Buseck called Brand, the heirloom Ludwig von Buseck called Brand, married her relative Walter von Buseck and the descendants of this marriage renewed the name of Buseck called Brand .

  • Another branch of the von Buseck family called Brand is documented in Schönecken from 1534 . A genealogical connection to the branch in the Busecker Tal is currently not possible, but a review of existing seal impressions clearly shows the connection. The branch in Schönecken later dropped the name of Buseck and was only called Brand. The last known mention of this branch of the family comes from 1731.

von Buseck called Münch

Is the male line in 1750 with the death of the Secret fuldischen called Buseck Council Friedrich Ludwig Münch extinguished. The family owned properties in Großen-Buseck, including temporarily the castle in Großen-Buseck and an estate in Winnerod, which ultimately served as their ancestral home.

An aunt of Friedrich Ludwig, Magdalene Eleonora von Buseck called Münch, was married to Rutger von Ascheberg .

from Buseck to Eppelborn

Buseck Castle in Eppelborn , Saarland

The Catholic or " Eppelborn branch " became extinct in the male line in 1909 with the death of Franz Ferdinand Karl Leopold von Buseck, a priest in Memmelsdorf near Bamberg. The family branch goes back to the marriage of Conrad Philipp von Buseck (* 1632, † 1673) with Maria Margaretha von Löwenstein zu Randeck. Maria Margaretha brought the Eppelborn dominion into the marriage, in which the couple settled and after which the descendants were named.

Buseck in America

In 1832 Karl Philipp Wilhelm von Buseck went to America with 2 sons. He was later followed by his wife and other children. While Karl Philipp Wilhelm returned to Germany before his death, his children settled in the Erie / Pennsylvania area . The branch dropped its title of nobility and still exists today.

Bearer of the name without a title of nobility

Erhard Busek - an Austrian politician, his family emigrated to Bohemia during the wars of religion - and you had to remove the "C" there to get the sound of the name. A descent from the von Buseck family is unclear. There is also an Austrian hereditary nobility with the name Busek. The diploma was issued in 1810 to Franz Busek, head of the square in Vienna. Since the 15th century there have also been non-aristocratic namesake. Especially in the Frankfurt am Main and Wetzlar area, later also in the Netherlands.
