Coat of arms of those of Ditten

Ditten also: Paschendoch , also: Paschendock or Paschendog is the name of an old Mecklenburg noble family that spread early to the Prignitz and later to Norway .

history

Bernhard Latomus erroneously differentiated the ditties from the Paschendoch , whereby these were sometimes listed as two sexes in later literature.

Henricus Paschendach was mentioned in a document in the Diocese of Hildesheim in 1220 . Kneschke then names Martin and Johann as documented relatives for the year 1285. Ludecinus Paschendach, Lord of Werle, seals on June 6, 1356.

The brothers Tüdeke, Barthold and Lüdeke seal the seal under the name Ditten on March 9, 1375. The latter was officially named as Lüdeke von Ditten differently ghenomed Paschendach 1388 and again as Lüdeke Paschendach differently denominated by Ditten 1389. The secured line of trunks begins with Heinrich von Ditten, who in 1410 was pledgee of Gorlosen Castle near Grabow .

Achim Ditten co-signed the Union of Estates for the family in 1523 . Hans von Ditten resold Werle in 1581 for 30 years to his brother-in-law Jürgen von Kamptz († before 1603), but Levin von Ditten had already bought back the estate in 1588 and managed it as a pledge from his cousin Hans von Ditten.

In 1578 the brothers Hans, Achatius and Melchior von Ditten sold two farms in Wantzlitz to Lütke von Below with the consent of Duke Ulrich von Mecklenburg , and in 1580 the brothers received a prescription again to Lütke von Below. The bell of the village church of Perlin , cast in 1735, bears the coat of arms of the von Ditten and the von Lützow family . The donor of the 1.19 m high bell was the widow Elisabeth Margarethe Sophie von Lützow, b. from Ditten.

Friedrich Ludwig von Ditten, heir to Werle and Dambeck, was a co-signatory of the Land Constitutional Constitutional Comparison in 1755 .

Between 1634 and 1653 two von Ditten were named as conventuals in the Dobbertin monastery . Luci Eva von Ditten was the head of the convent from 1634 to 1644 as dominatrix . In the registration book of the Dobbertin Monastery there are two entries by daughters of the von Ditten families from 1780 and 1787 from Werle for inclusion in the local aristocratic women's monastery .

With Ernst Franz von Ditten (* 1757, † 1809) the sex in Mecklenburg im. 18th century found its exit. The estate fell to the Restorff and Flotow families through his two daughters .

As early as the 16th century, the family first came to Denmark and later to Norway through military service . The family line there begins with Levin Ernst von Ditten, who with Maria Catherina von Linstow had a son Christopher Ernst von Ditten (* 1707, † 1765) who was born and deceased in Copenhagen . The family later lived in Hørsholm , Kongsberg and Eiker in the Buskerud Province and in Oslo without having acquired any property . Thor von Ditten (* 1860; † 1936) was a Norwegian diplomat, his brother Johannes von Ditten (* 1848; † 1924) was a painter.

In 1922, Carl Heinrich Ludwig Friedrich Robert von Ditten adopted the German Rear Admiral, later Vice Admiral and Undersecretary of State Paul Wülfing (* 1880, † 1953), whereupon he, since 1930, has used the name Wülfing von Ditten and a combined coat of arms of both families.
