Cloet (also Clod , Cloedt, Clot , Clodh , Kloit ) were an old Westphalian noble family . This is not to be confused with the Baltic Klot-Heydenfeld , which called themselves Klot-Trautvetter in Pomerania , or the also Baltic Clodt von Jürgensburg .

history

A Dietrich von Cloet is mentioned in a document as early as 1188.

The family had possessions mainly in the County of Mark and the Duchy of Westphalia . In 1230 she had a share in Mark Castle and in 1275 in Hovestadt Castle (castle feuds 3–5). It also owned Bockhövel around 1336 . There were also the manor Beringhausen (1645–1700), manor Hanxleden (1589–1711), manor I Remblinghausen (1642–1755), manor Wiggeringhausen (1642–1670), property in the parish of Dinker (1178–1252), as well as manor A and B in Nateln in the parish of Dinker (1178–1600). In the 17th and 18th centuries, possessions in the Rhineland were added. The Oberbreidenbach castle near Lindlar was owned by the family around 1600 and Ehrenburg auf dem Hunsrück in 1666. They also had fiefs near Osnabrück .

A Heinrich von Cloet was a knight in the service of the Counts of the Mark and was hereditary bailiff of Mark Castle. Later, the family carried the title of hereditary fortifications. The use of this title ended in the 16th century. After that, the title Burgmann led to the mark for some time.

The family formed several lineages over time. Among them were the zu Narteln, Hanxleden, Hangelsteden and others. The inheritance of a line of the Hanxleden family came into the family's possession in 1580 through the marriage of Dietrich von Cloet with the heir daughter of the Hanxleden.

The Ehrenburg line was extinguished in 1798. Other lines continued to exist.
