Dobschütz is the name of an old Silesian noble family that was first mentioned in a document with Gunemar de Dobeschitz in 1266, Hugo de Dobswize in 1280 and Florian Dobschicz in 1348, but whose family line can only be traced back to Girzick Dobirswicz ( Georg von Dobschütz ) in 1476. , Landlord on Chorulla , begins.

They are not to be confused with the Silesian family von Doberschütz (similar coat of arms), with whom they may have a common origin.

coat of arms

The coat of arms of the family is part of the coat of arms family Szreniawa , that is the same coat of arms is or has been with different crest out by other families from the same area (see: List of coat of arms of the Polish coat of arms Communities ): In Red on top at the right end with a golden cross equipped floating silver diagonal right river, on the helmet with red-silver covers 3 silver ostrich feathers.

The cross is attributed to the crusaders . So there is a Santa Claus Dobirswicz even Dobirschicz written in the service of the Teutonic Knights and in 1410 participants in the Battle of Grunwald .

The coat of arms was formerly called Krzywasn (probably from krzywy S = crooked S ), its call was Druzyna after the river Druzyna , which flows next to the river Srenlawa to the Vistula . Later the coat of arms name changed to Szreniawa .

Surname

The Srenlawa River is a tributary of the Vistula . Nearby is the town of Dobczyce on the Raba , southeast of Krakow . Radomir de Dobczyce , also written de Dobschic , son of Florian , was a canon in Cracow around 1348 . At the Cracow University who worked around 1501 astronomer and astrologer Leonardus de Dobschycze , even de Dobczycze written when Dean and other namesakes studied at that time at the same university.

The Plawy estate (also: Plaw ) in the Duchy of Siewierz , which was owned by another Sreniawa family called the Ujejsky until the 17th century, was located on the banks of this Srenlawa river . Plawy was probably owned by the Dobschütz family well before 1400 .

Both the place Dobczyce and the Plawy estate can be regarded as the homeland of origin, which is why the family used the name " von Dobschütz und Plauen " from the 16th to the 18th century .

origin

The direct line of roots does not begin until Girzick Dobirswicz , who is mentioned on October 20, 1476 as the owner of the Chorulla estate in the Groß Strehlitz district ( Upper Silesia ). He is probably a son of Hannos von der Chorula , who had owned half of this estate since 1447. After Hannos death Girzick Dobirswicz had inherited his half and now - according to the document - on October 20, 1476 also bought the other part of Chorulla from the creditors of his uncle Mikolasch Chorula (brother of Hannos Chorula ). The family lived in Silesia until the end of the Second World War , only occasionally earlier in the west.
