De Cene (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Zehna village church

The De Cene family , also Scene, Sene, Sehna, Zehna, Tzena, von der Zehna, belonged to the Wendish noble families. Their ancestral home was in Zehna , 10 km south of Güstrow . The gender is extinct.

history

The De Cene were vassals of the Werle lordship . As a very small family they came as followers of the Lords of Bellin . The von Bellin built the German settlement village Reimershagen in 1220 and built the church in Bellin around 1230 . From these von Bellin, the de Cene probably also received their possession Zehna , since documented fiefs are not known so early.

On April 16, 1291 Prince Nicolaus von Werle donated the patronage of the church to Zehna, which belonged to the Archdiaconate of the Güstrow Cathedral Provost, to the Güstrow Cathedral Foundation. At that time there were already two villages, Groß Zehna and Wendisch Zehna (Slavica Cene).

Machorius (Magorius) de Cene was named in 1263 as the first knight on Zehna and witness for Prince Nicolaus von Werle. Afterwards he was mentioned in 1266 as Auduocatus in Röbel / Müritz . His sister married the knight Iwan von Below auf Zidderich and Augzin . The son of this marriage is the only one of the entire von Below family to bear the name Machorius. His son Machorius was a knight in the entourage of the princes of Werle from 1270 to 1296 on Zehna. On December 15, 1274, Machorius de Cene and the Flotow and Bellin of the aristocracy of Werle in Güstrow vouched for Prince Nikolaus with his sons Heinrich and Johann again for the privileges of the Dobbertin monastery . In 1274 he is said to have been Vogt in Röbel and on February 23, 1294 witnessed the sale of income to the church in Grüssow . From 1290 to 1296 a squire was named Machorius de Cene and from 1324 to 1334 a Volzke de Scene on Zehna. On the seal of 1324 he is called de Holste, probably after his mother, one of Holstein . With the knight Machorius de Cene, the family on Zehna went extinct around 1364. The cenas on Zehna no longer appear in the great guarantee of the aristocracy of Werle for Albrecht Duke of Mecklenburg and King of Sweden on his release from Danish captivity in 1395.

In 1357 Knappe Machorius von Brüsehaver, whose father had married a daughter of de Cene, was pawnbroker of both Zehna. Wendisch Zehna pledged Prince Nicolaus von Werle to the knight Machorius von Brüsehaver on August 9, 1357 for an increase of 48 marks.

The de Cene had hardly come to Rostock by their own will , but had been transferred there by the liege lord. This is also shown by the princely, non-municipal offices that they held. Around 1320 Wulf von Zehne was named as the sovereign bailiff in Rostock.

From 1338 to 1387 Bernhard de Cene Aduocatus and sovereign Vogt of Rostock and between 1340 and 1346 was mentioned several times in the Rostock city books. Between November and December 1345 Bernhard de Cene found his daughters Tilseke and Greteke with the maternal inheritance in Rostock. His son Hinricus von Zehna (* 1372, † 1402/04) owned extensive houses in Rostock. As a dowry during his marriage there was a house in Koßfeldstrasse, where he bought more houses in 1378 and 1398. There were also stalls on the city wall next to the moat. In 1395 he bought the corner house on the Schild , one of the most beautiful gabled houses in Rostock, from his brothers-in-law Louwe . Hinricus von Zehna's son, Vikke von Zehne, had his father's house in Koßfeldstrasse from 1404. In 1401 and 1417 he was named mayor of Rostock and in January 1408 as councilor. From 1410 to 1416 he was deposed during the uprising and worked as a council messenger in Wismar before 1417 . Expelled from 1427 to 1439, still head of St. Georg in 1452, Vikke von Zehne is said to have died between 1456 and 1459. Heinricus comes from his second marriage, who studied in Rostock in 1421 and was still a priest in 1450. Winhold came from a third marriage, in 1461 as a student in Rostock, but died under age and presumably without a physical heir. With that, the family in Rostock also died out.

Possessions

Zehna originally had an area of ​​around 2,000 hectares and was therefore a typical Wendish property, which also included

  • Braunsberg with 430 hectares, a settlement of the von Passow or von Sala,
  • Neuhof, Wendorf with 360 hectares, a settlement of the von Sala from 1662,
  • Zehna with 810 hectares

In Ganschow , formerly Gentzkow, the von Cene were probably the previous owners. Their property in Gerdshagen went to the Dobbertin monastery in 1237 . Back then, that was the price that the Wende had to pay. The knight seat Wendisch Zehna von Cene was probably identical with the church square and has disappeared. This is also made clear by the fact that Zehna is one of the oldest churches in this area and is much too big for Zehna alone. The farming village of Gross Zehna, founded by the Cene, is today's estate.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of De Cene is a shaded sign with oblique right bar. The use of another coat of arms by the Rostockers is just as strange as the use of the coat of arms of Holstein at the Cene on Zehna.

In the seal of the Vikke von der Zehn from 1454 there is a right-facing animal head with a neck on the shield and the same shield symbol on the helmet.
