Düring is the name of an old noble family from Lower Saxony . Düring , the family seat of the same name, is now part of the Loxstedt community in the Cuxhaven district . Branches of the family still exist today.

history

The family belonging to the Lower Saxon nobility appears for the first time in 1140 with Theodericus de Diurenge . From Kersten von Duringen the Elder , named in documents 1350 and 1357, all further generations of the family are derived in an uninterrupted line of tribe . The property at that time included Düring, Loxstedt, Donnern and Hetthorn .

The gender spreads greatly over time, forming three major lines around 1570. The first Ottosche line owned the branches Holenwisch and Belum , the second Dietrische line divides the branches Horneburg , Marsell and Francop and the third Arpsche line in the branches to Holte , Bockel, Embsen, Ruschbaden and Borstel (after Kurt von Düring: Düringschen Stammtafeln , printed in 1920). The first line expires around 1800. Members of the Marsell branch of the second line later settled in Denmark . Only the branch Ruschbaden consists of the third line.

The family has produced important loved ones. The later Swedish General Field Marshal Johann Christoph von Düring (1695–1759) from the House of Horneburg was elevated to the status of Swedish barons in 1719 - and in 1752 to the status of Swedish count . The Count's branch that he had founded expired a short time later. Karl Frederic von Düring (1792–1876) from the House of Marsell, received the Danish baron title in 1845 with the name Düring-Rosenkrantz, which also became extinct in the male line. In 1881 there was a Prussian confirmation of the use of the baron title for Kurt Baron von Düring .
