Cocceji , originally Cocceji by Cocq, is the name of an extinct Prussian noble family .

history

The Cocceji family has its origins in Bremen and begins its family line with the councilor Gerhard Coch (1532–1589) and his wife Caecilie Wachmann. The city secretary Timan Coch (1537-1607) emerged from the marriage and married Elsche Bake (1582-1629), a Bremen parents' daughter. Of the three known sons, Gerhard Coccejus (1601–1660), Johannes Coccejus (1603–1669), and Hinrich Coch († around 1680), city port clerk in Bremen, it was the latter who was married to Lucke von Oldenburg, a sister of Heinrich Oldenburg continued the tribe .

The son of the latter couple Heinrich Coch (1644-1719) became a professor at the Ruprecht-Karls-Universität Heidelberg , the University of Utrecht and finally the Brandenburg University of Frankfurt , with which he transplanted his family into the Mark Brandenburg . Like his uncles, he latinized his name to Cocceji and was elevated to the Prussian nobility on September 7, 1702 with the title of nobility by Cocq . A few years later, in Vienna on March 3, 1713, he was promoted to the status of imperial baron with the salutation "Well-born" . One of his sons was Friedrich Heinrich von Cocceji (1676–1703), who fell as a lieutenant colonel in the Palatinate , and Johann Gottfried von Cocceji († 1738) became a privy councilor and finally regional president in Magdeburg . The youngest son, Samuel von Cocceji (1679–1755), became President of the Prussian Supreme Court and Grand Chancellor . Frederick II raised him to the status of a Prussian baron on November 8, 1749 , when Cocq 's paternal predicate was no longer applicable . Due to the marriage of Samuel with Johanna Charlotte von Beschefer († after 1765), the father-in-law's Pomeranian goods Wusseken , Laase, Kleist and Repkow in the Fürstenthum district came to him . However, claims and shares of the von Heydebreck and von Zarth families first had to be triggered. As heirs, the younger two sons, the Prussian colonel and adjutant general Johann Heinrich Friedrich von Cocceji (1725–1785) and the Polish major general Carl Friedrich Ernst von Cocceji (1728–1780) appeared. The latter's goods have meanwhile been confiscated because of unauthorized work abroad. The eldest brother Karl Ludwig von Cocceji (1724-1808), President of the Glogau government, had received the Silesian incolate in January 1761 together with his wife, who would later become Countess Barbara Campanini . He followed his younger brothers at least to Wusseken as feudal successors , but only had stepchildren from his two marriages. The five children of the second wife were raised to the Prussian nobility in 1798 based on the step-father's coat of arms and the name Knappe von Knappstädt . So with the latter, the male line of the sex also died out. The children of the sisters Amalie Charlotte Henriette von Cocceji (1729–1757), wed Baroness von Vernezobre de Laurieux and Sophia Susanna Charlotte von Cocceji († 1794), wed von Platen , were heirs to the estate .

The involvement of a branch of Cocceji that was well-off on Dubrauke in the 18th century remains unclear .

The places Coccejendorf bei Schlawe , as well as Cocceji, Cocceji-Neudorf and Cocceji-Neuwalde in the Warthebruch were laid out as colonist villages in 1749, 1771 and 1774 and borrow their names from Samuel von Cocceji.
