history

In a Latin deed of donation issued by Bishop Gardolf von Halberstadt in 1197, which concerns a vineyard near Merseburg owned by the church , a Gero de deliz, vir nobilis (Gero von Delitz, nobleman) is mentioned. The first members of the family probably worked as ministerials at Delitzsch Castle .

Members of the Delitz family were already on the city council of Halle in the 14th century .

Later members of the family owned the Temnick estate near Nörenberg in Neumark . Berend Ludwig von Delitz sold it in 1798 in order to subsequently acquire the Raakow estate near Arnswalde .
