Family coat of arms of the Clodt von Jürgensburg (1566)

Clodt von Jürgensburg is the name of a Baltic noble family . Branches of the family persist to this day.

According to current research, the family is not related to Klot-Heydenfeld , also from the Baltic States , who called themselves Klot-Trautvetter in Pomerania . Contrary to the opinion, which was postulated by Kneschke , a descent from the Westphalian Cloet is also rejected by research today.

history

While the origin of the Clodt is uncertain, partly in Westphalia and partly in Low German , the documented history of the family begins in Reval in the 16th century . Rolof Clodt is said to have gone to Reval and died early. Of his sons, Heinrich was councilor in Reval from 1571–1578, and in 1574 he was the city's negotiator to negotiate an armistice in the Livonian war with the Russians. The other son Jost (* 1517; † 1572) was initially a syndic in Reval and councilor of the last Landmeister of the Teutonic Order Gotthard Kettler . As Kettler's later chancellor and senior counselor in the Duchy of Courland and Semgallia , he was awarded the Jürgensburg Order Castle on March 22, 1561, after which the dynasty bears its name. On August 1, 1566, he received a Polish nobility diploma.

The last Swedish governor in Riga , Johann Adolf Clodt von Jürgensburg (* 1658, † 1720), was ennobled to the Swedish baron class in absentia during his Russian captivity on February 15, 1714 in Stockholm (No. 126).

The family enrolled in the Estonian Knighthood on February 6, 1745 (No. 6). The Clodt von Jürgensburg were the first generation to be enrolled in the Livonian knighthood from Polish times (No. 53). While the Livonian tribe of the sex is extinct, the Estonian divided you into the four lines adH Peuth, zu Peuth, Korjot and Orrenhof. The line to Peuth has meanwhile also expired. Several well-known artists, sculptors and painters have emerged from the line of adH Peuth.

The Clodt von Jürgensburg were able to spread to Finland with several members and take possession of the Chalala estate. The family continued to flourish in the interior of Russia , for example in Omsk, in the 19th and early 20th centuries .

possession

In Livonia, the family named Jürgensburg Castle with the estates Duckern, Bersehof and Gustavsberg from 1561 to 1802. Somel was briefly owned by the family in the 17th century. At the beginning of the 18th century, the widow Christina Charlotte von Rosen born. Clodt von Jürgensburg bought Gut Kerstenshof .

In Estonia the Clodt von Jürgensburg owned the estates Eddara, Hummala, Köndes, Korjot, Orrenhof, Peuth, Samm, Vogelsang, Wallküll, Waschel and Wiesenau. The family was no longer affected by the expropriation initiated by the Estonian land reform .
