Coat of arms of the noble family von Ditmar

Ditmar is the name of a Baltic noble family from which mainly people in military service and civil servants emerged who were state politicians in the Baltic States . In the Baltic countries there were three families with the names Dittmar, Ditmer and Ditmar, but they were not related or related by marriage, although they had the same coat of arms. The gender died out in the male line in 1935.

history

Of the three families with the same name and coat of arms known in the Baltic States, the ösel branch is the most important. In 1725 the öselsche branch received the Russian nobility recognition, in 1745 they received the Estonian and in 1779 the Livonian indigenous

  1. The Swedish rider (lowest rank in the cavalry ) Meinhard Dettmar and his wife received the small Udefer estate in the Pernaußen district during their lifetime from the Swedish King Gustav II Adolph in 1625 . In 1628, the small village of Wasaküll in the district of Pernau was given to them as a fief . Thus Meinhard Dettmar is named as the progenitor of the families registered in Livonia and Estonia .
  2. Another family is traced back to the surgeon Heinrich Detmar, also Dettmar, (* 1747 in Hildesheim , † 1814 in Livonia) and his son, they lived in Livonia.
  3. The third family with the name Ditmar, who had settled on the island of Ösel, came from Johann Ludwig Ditmar (1713–1763) from Colberg , who was pastor to Pyha from 1730 to 1732 and from 1732 to 1762 to Peude . The nobility of the Öseler cannot be clearly proven, but one should assume a Russian service nobility . On Ösel the family owned the Pajomois , Klausholm , Kaunifer, Schöneichen near Klausholm, Kiddemetz , Ochtjas , Jührs , Kabbil and Jööri estates . In Estonia they were landowners of Groß-Kaljo and Kohhat in the rural municipality of Kernu , and in Livonia Kronenberg and Siliak. In 1804, Alexander von Ditmar (1781–1856), lord of the Pajomois, from the ösel family line was accepted into the nobility register of the ösel knighthood . His son Alexander Edmund (1842-1892) belonged to the Livonian knighthood since 1869 . In 1833 Georg Wilhelm von Ditmar (1789-1852), lord of Klaushof, was entered into the Öselsche knighthood; from 1842 to 1849 he was Oselsche country marshal . In 1843 Alexander and Georg Wilhelm von Ditmar received Russian recognition of nobility rights .
