history

origin

The family was first mentioned in a document on November 20, 1288 at Fehrbellin with Christianus de Dolle .

According to the yearbook of the German nobility , the uninterrupted line of tribe begins with Joachim von der Dollen († 1583) on Klein Luckow in the Uckermark , the genealogical handbook of the nobility begins the line of tribe with Egbert von der Dollen in the middle of the 16th century.

The village of Dolle , which gave the family its name, is now part of the Burgstall community in the northeast of the Börde district in Saxony-Anhalt . The village appears for the first time in 1221 when Pope Honorius III. the monastery Hillersleben his possessions confirmed. The name Dolle is Slavic and means "down" (Slovak "dole" - down), which is very understandable since it goes from the south and from the north into a valley in which the village is located. The Slavs were called Wenden in the Altmark .
