history

The family comes from the Vechta region. It appears in a document for the first time in 1231 with Johannes de Thinclage , with whom the family line begins. Members of the family can be found in 1231 in the vicinity of the Counts of Ravensberg . In Dinklage she held the local rule and had a castle built there by the 14th century at the latest. This was destroyed in 1374 by their ruler, Bishop Florence von Wevelinghoven . As a result of an inheritance, several new seats were created around 1400. Herbodsburg passed to the owners of Hugoburg in 1560. Dietrichsburg came to the von Ledebur family in 1587. Between 1664 and 1667, Bishop Christoph Bernhard von Galen acquired all of the family's properties in the Principality of Münster in order to furnish the von Galen family's office of hereditary treasurer. From this came the glory of Dinklage . This small rule came to the Grand Duchy of Oldenburg in 1827 . In addition, members of the family were Burgmannen zu Quakenbrück from the 15th to the 19th century .

On January 12, 1844, the Hanoverian approval for the use of the title of baron for Drosten Wilhelm von Dincklage zu Malgarten and his brothers Ernst August, forester at Vörden and Hermann auf Campe, as well as their cousin Otto von Dincklage at Schulenburg.

The sex attained national political importance through the decision of Drosten Johann von Dincklage auf Hopen to assist Franz von Waldeck in introducing Lutheranism in the Vechta office during his term of office (1540–1549) . It was not until the 17th century that the rule of the Catholic camp in Amt Vechta was sustainably stabilized in the course of the Counter Reformation , largely through the work of representatives of the von Galen family.

The family consists of two branches, Schulenburg and Campe. The seat of the Dincklage (Schulenburg) was Schulenburg (Badbergen) until it was sold by Clemens Freiherrn von Dincklage in 1906 , the seat of the Dincklage (Campe) has been the Campe estate in the northern, Catholic Emsland since 1695 . The gentlemen from the von Dincklage family residing in Campe are Catholic, the members of the Schulenburg branch were or are Protestant. A sex association has existed since October 2, 1921.
