Dannenberg (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of those of Dannenberg

Dannenberg , formerly also Tannenberg , is the name of a noble family that belonged to the ancient nobility of Lüneburg . Branches of the sex persist to this day.

From the old Counts of Dannenberg as well as the barons of Tannberg or Tannenberg (Dannenberg) the sex is to be distinguished. These come from Tyrol and came to Upper Austria in 1729 . There is also no relationship to the Barons von Tannenberg in Swabia or to a Silesian family from Dannenberg.

history

Dannenberg an der Elbe, Merian - city view from 1645; on the right, Dannenberg Castle , of which only the Waldemarturm has been preserved

The name is derived from the town of Dannenberg on the Elbe . The family first appears in documents with Helingerus miles de Dannenberghe between 1190 and 1195. The documented line of trunks begins in 1237 with Ernestus de Dannenberghe . Knight Heinrich von Dannenberg sealed the chess bar coat of arms in 1282.

The historian Zedlitz-Neukirch traced the family back to the counts and lords of the County of Dannenberg , who died out in the count's line in the second half of the 14th century. The historians Jakob Christoph Beck and August Johann Buxtorf also traced the origin to the old Counts of Dannenberg.

Count Bernhard I. von Dannenberg (first documented mention 1227 to 1266) had five sons, including Guncelinus (first documented mention 1264). Gunzel von Dannenberg is said to have been Heinrich's father, who after the abdication of his agnates in 1303 stayed in the Lüneburg region , but because he lacked the count's fortune, he called himself noble Herr von Dannenberg.

Progenitor of the line that is flourishing today

Heinrich von Dannenberg's son Heinrich was a knight and still lived in 1375. His son of the same name recorded documents from 1350 to 1397 and was the father of Gebhard, Otto, Paridam and Segeband, of which Gebhard and Paridam donated two lines. Paridam's line, from which the Brunswick-Lüneburg colonel Georg von Dannenberg († 1576) came, who was married to Dorothea von Bülow († 1593), expired at the end of the 16th century. The line that is flourishing today goes back to Gebhard. From this came Bernhard von Dannenberg, heir to Lüchow and Breselenz, whose sons Heinrich and Christoph again established two lines.

Heinrich line

Heinrich ( enfeoffed 1560), son of Bernhard von Dannenberg, donated his own line. From this came Heinrich von Dannenberg (* 1583), heir to Lüchow and Breselenz , Braunschweig-Lüneburg secret council and court marshal , inspector of the offices of Dannenberg and Lüchow , captain of Isenhagen , land- Drost of the principality of Grubenhagen , and miner captain of the upper and lower -Harzischen mines. Georg Paridam von Dannenberg, heir to Breselenz and Lüchow, also came from this line. He was married twice, first to Magdalena Maria von Sporck . After her death he took Margaretha von Dageförde as his wife and when he died in 1668, he left three daughters and six sons. However, the line was already considered extinct in 1742.

Line Christoph

The other line, which still exists today, was founded by Christoph, the other son of Bernhard and brother of Heinrich. He was inherited on Breselenz and Lüchow (enfeoffed in 1560). He was also married twice, first to Margaretha von Estorff , then to Maria von Melzing. He was the father of ten children: six daughters and four sons. Son Otto died in France . Only son Christoph, the younger, continued the tribe.
