The Cob family from Nüdingen (also von Niedingen, de Nudange ) was a noble family from Lorraine-Luxembourg, based in Bitburg .

history

The family name Cob, Kob, Kobe, Kopp (abbreviation for Jakob ) exists in the entire German-speaking area. The Bitburger Cob first appeared as a notable in the 15th century . The «Kobenhof» in Bitburg was the parent company of Cob. Clas Cob († 1500) is buried in the Bitburger Liebfrauenkirche. In 1531 the Cob of the Liebfrauenkirche had a family chapel with a burial place added. The Cob got the nickname of Nüdingen (or de Nudange ) through the enfeoffment of the now devastated place Nüdingen (local community Messerich ). Through the marriage of Christoph Cob with Margaretha Fock von Hübingen, the rule of Niederweis passed to the Cob around 1580. Christoph Cob's sons were both childless, so Niederweis came into the possession of the latter through the marriage of his daughter Maria Ursula to Johann Hermann von der Heyden in 1680 . With Wolfgang Friedrich Cob von Nüdingen , who was in Austrian service and serving in Prague , the dynasty was elevated to the status of baron in 1656 and the status of count on April 26, 1673.

The polymath Gabriel Bucelinus reports that the Cob used to be called Kräher, came from Bohemia and came to Luxembourg with Johann von Böhmen , Count of Luxembourg , where they received Nüdingen as a fief. This is a typical legend of origin , as it was often drafted in aristocratic surveys, here with the greatest probability on the occasion of the elevation of Wolfgang Friedrich Cob von Nüdingen, who lives in Bohemia, to the rank of count in 1673.

coat of arms

Talking coat of arms, if one assumes that cob goes back to the corresponding Moselle-Franconian word for crow (from French corbeau ): Two black crows (1/1) on a golden background. The coat of arms was augmented (before 1630) by a blue shield with a continuous golden cross and four golden scallops and henceforth set in quarters.
