His wife was Gertrud (Gertraut) von Langen, daughter of Egbert von Langen, judge of Rheine and illegitimate son of the Münster canon Hermann von Langen († 1508). Johann Danckelmann is said to have been the illegitimate son of a priest of the same name. Johannes Danckelmann, documented from 1451–1495, was cathedral vicar at Münster. In 1483 he signed a document with his brother Severinus Danckelmann, who was the signatory of the city of Münster. The cathedral vicar Hieronymus Danckelmann called Horteleder, documented 1491–1540, in 1540 in his will Styneken consobrine mee, que mihi servit ad multos annos [(Chri) Stinechen, my cousin (on my mother's side), who served me for many years] and Albert Wernynck, the son of his illegitimate sister who was in Livonia .

The corresponding baron diploma was issued on May 16, 1704 for the seven Danckelman brothers .

Adolf Albrecht Heinrich Leopold Freiherr von Danckelmann (1736–1807) was raised to the rank of Count of Prussia on July 6, 1798 in Berlin as the Royal Prussian State Minister.

coat of arms

The family coat of arms shows a silver watchful crane in blue. The shield image on the helmet with the blue and silver covers. According to the family tradition, an ancestor had saved the life of a Roman-German emperor through loyal vigilance, whereupon the emperor awarded him the accolade with the words “Thank you, man”. When the seven Danckelmann brothers were raised to the baron status, the coat of arms was improved so that a new symbol was added: seven sceptres around a ring. It stands for the unity of the seven brothers, who all held such important Brandenburg-Prussian offices that their government was called the rule of the Pleiades or the rule of the seven stars .
