coat of arms

Clausenheim , completely Clausen / Claussen von Clausenheim is the name of an extinct Schleswig-Holstein noble family .

history

The sex goes back to Matthias Clausen (1610–1675), personal physician at the court of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf . He left a great fortune and two sons: Bernhard, canon in Hamburg, and Johannes, Gottorfischer land rent master and budget adviser.

Bernhard was elevated to knightly imperial nobility with a diploma from Emperor Leopold I on December 10, 1703 with the predicate of Claussenheimb . The corresponding diploma for Johann was only issued on June 25, 1716.

Elevation to the nobility made it possible for Bernhard to marry off his daughters to nobles. Anna Maria (1683–1757) married Henning Friedrich von Bassewitz . Duke Friedrich IV of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf leased his Gottorf lands to the brothers Clausenheim and Bernhard's son-in-law, Lieutenant Colonel Tilemann Andreas von Bergholtz , when he went to the Northern War . However, the duke fell in the battle of Klissow in July 1702, and the lease contract was thus invalid.

The family acquired extensive property in Mecklenburg through marriage and purchase . So she counted to the Mecklenburg knighthood and was eligible for parliament . However, it was not received by the Mecklenburg nobility. In 1775, Christoph Otto von Gamm counted her among the families who do not have the indigenous population of this country and are wealthy in it .

The family died out in the 19th century.

Possessions

Monuments

Until 1761, the family owned one of the southern side chapels of Rostock's Marienkirche as a burial chapel, the former “Schusterkapelle”, later “Vorsteherstube” and archive, which today is characterized by the memorial window for the Rostock branch of the Mann family of writers .

In the church of Körchow there are various references to the family, such as a monogram on the pulpit staircase, a coat of arms with the year 1761 on the gallery and an epitaph for Johann Heinrich von Clausenheim .

coat of arms

The coat of arms, awarded in 1703, is divided and split at the top. It shows a green laurel wreath above in a silver field , behind in a golden field a black eagle wing facing the Saxons to the right ; below in blue on green ground a green palm tree . On the crowned helmet two open black eagle wings. Two retrospective golden griffins serve as shield holders . Instead of the helmet cover, the coat of arms is surrounded by a blue coat, gold on the inside and silver on the left.

The palm tree of the coat of arms can also be found in the coat of arms of the von Bassewitz family, which was increased in 1726 .
