Dorgelo
Dorgelo (also Dorgeloh , Doringhelohe or Dörgeloh ) is the name of a noble family that used to have its headquarters in the Varrel district of Dörrieloh ( district of Diepholz ) in Lower Saxony . There are also the civil names Dorgelo, Dorgeloh, Dorgelo (h) e, Dörgelo, Dörgeloh, Dorgerloh and Doringelo that evidently emerged from this.
history
The first (1381) mentioned member of the noble family is Dethard von Doringelo (also called Dethard von Doringhelo or Dethardus Doringerlo). In 1381 he moved the Brockmannshaus to Nottenstede ( Natenstedt ) to Sankt Hülfe . An Otto von Doringelo, presumably Dethard's brother, was Vogt in Vörden in 1391 . As a Vogt in the Münsterland, he expanded an estate on the Lethe into a castle. The last noble male bearer of the line to Lethe died there in 1654.
The various branches of the noble family spread from their ancestral seat Dörrieloh in a north-westerly and south-westerly direction via Oldenburg and the dioceses of Osnabrück and Münster . Over the centuries representatives of the von Dorgelo family have been listed as Burgmanns of Vechta Castle , an outpost of the Monastery of Münster, who owned their own Burgmannshof near the castle . In the 16th century, the Dorgelos acquired several goods, including Gut Loxten , Gut Twistel and the Schleppenburg . Gut Bomhof and Gut Welpe were temporarily owned by the family.
In the course of the Reformation , the noble family divided into a Catholic and a Protestant line. The headquarters in Dörrieloh in the now Protestant county of Diepholz was sold in 1578 by the Catholic line of those von Dorgelo.
The Brettberg estate , acquired in 1511 and sold after the Dorgelo zu Brettberg line died out, became the ancestral seat of the family's Catholic line . A branch line lived in the Höven estate near Wardenburg . The last representative of the Dorgelo zu Höven line , August Wilhelm Anton von Dorgelo (born 1762), died childless in 1855. His great-nephew, the Prussian Colonel Ludwig Heinrich Freiherr von Lützow (1824–1899) inherited the estate under the condition that he should be called "von Dorgelo" in the future. In 1864 the Höven estate was sold. Bearers of the name "von Lützow called von Dorgelo" lived in the middle of the 20th century.
Due to the destruction of the church archives in Weyhe in 1776, it is difficult to reconstruct the history of the Dorgelos evangelical line. The fact is that the name Dorgeloh still occurs frequently in the area of the former County of Hoya . Dorgelohs from the Bremen area also emigrated to the Netherlands in the 17th century.
Bearers of the name " von Dorgelo (h)" no longer exist today. However, aristocrats (e.g. the Daren branch of the von Frydag family ) and numerous commoners can trace their family tree back to female members of the von Dorgelo family. How today's bourgeois namesake descend from the noble family is not completely clear. Jan Derk Dorgelo suspects in his family chronicle (see under web links) that the Dorgelos, who still live in the district of Vechta today, could have emerged from the second marriage of Friedrich von Dorgelos (1641–1720) with his cook. Renouncing the “from” would therefore be the price that Friedrich's children would have had to pay for his “ mesalliance ”.
coat of arms
There are different interpretations of the origin of the family coat of arms of this family native to the Niederstift Münster. The coat of arms shows in gold two tree trunks that have been torn out in stakes, each with two or three stumped branches on its side. On the helmet with black and gold covers and bulge, the trunks are inclined outwards. Such a “talking” coat of arms probably means “withered forest”. Talking coats of arms emerged in the 11th to 13th centuries. Most of them paid tribute to a special achievement by the family. Apparently the family was ennobled (landed gentry) for something that had to do with forest in the broadest sense. They may have drained swamps / bog areas and planted forests or they cleared forests. The family got its name after the village Dörrieloh, where they owned the Engelken-Sattelhof until 1578. Some also say that the place has its place name after the family. The Sattelhof was a fiefdom of the diocese of Minden. It became a manor suitable for the Landtag. The family and place name Dörrieloh means "Forest of Dörrie" after Nutzhorn. Others interpret it as a "dry forest" (Dörrieloh was surrounded by large moorland and swamp areas), yet others think it is called "Thuringian Forest" (Rüthning) and the family with their coat of arms immigrated from the Thuringian Forest.
The coat of arms of the von Dorgelo family is above the entrance to the Gut Brettberg manor house in Lohne , which was rebuilt after a fire in 1895; it survived the fire in the previous building unharmed. Furthermore, the coat of arms is attached to the epitaph of Albrecht von dem Bussche zu Hünnefeld and Ippenburg in the Nikolauskirche Bad Essen .
The village of Höven has adopted the Dorgelo coat of arms as the village coat of arms.

In August 1977, 40 old feudal letters were found in an old cupboard that stood in this homestead, in which the Bishop of Minden gave the saddle yard to the von Dorgelo family as a fief. These are kept in the Diepholz archive. The archive in the school of Dörrieloh begins with Dethard von Dörrieloh (1381). In 1991/1992 the Dörrieloh homeland and beautification association had the coat of arms of the descendants of Doringherloes attached to a boulder in the center of the village, which also serves as the local coat of arms.
Emstek : Lethe Castle was on the left bank of the Lethe . In 1393 Otto von Dorgelo is said to have built this protective and toll castle before he became Drost von Cloppenburg in order to secure the border to the northeast and the important Flemish Road . Lethe Castle was later expanded into an extensive estate and was inhabited by the Dorgelo (h) ’s for several generations. According to a map from 1564, the “Leedburg” comprised a two-storey house, a massive chapel and several stable buildings. The burial place was on the choir (Gospel side) of the old Emsteker church. In 1654 the Dorgelo (h) family died on Lethe with Caspar von Dorgelo. Close to the estate is an island in the Lethe river, where the former castle stood, on which the von Dorgeloh's lived from around the 14th to 17th centuries. Some of the foundations can still be seen. All finds that were made during excavations are archived in the Landesmuseum Oldenburg.

Lohne : The former 115 hectare estate Querlenburg emerged from a farm (1290: "Querlenborg") and is located in the south of Lohne in the Brockdorfer Mark. The estate came to Johann von Dorgelo auf Welpe through marriage in 1602, and later through marriage to Ewo van Jemigum (also Jemgum ) from the north . Today this castle no longer exists.
In the church of St. Gertrud in Lohne there is a tomb (tombstone) shared by Otto von Dorgelo († 1584) and Elske von Korff-Schmiesing († 1605), who married in 1542. The neighboring tomb commemorates Friedrich von Dorgelo and his wife Maria Catharina von Voss zu Enniger .
Around 1400 the first Brettberg Castle was built on part of a Meyerhof by Hermann von Elmendorpe . This part was called “De Brede Berg”. Around 1471 the estate was pledged to Diedrich von Dinklage , who had an Elmendorff daughter as wife. An Elske von Elmendorf married Otto von Dorgelo from Gut Lethe. Johann von Dorgelo, the son of Otto and Elskes, had inherited so much from his father that he was able to redeem the Brettberg estate from Rolf von Dinklage, Diedrich's brother.

Today the estate is owned by the Gellhaus family. The family coat of arms of those of Dorgelo can be seen on the wall at the top left above the entrance portal (west side of the entrance). In the Füchtel estate archive near Vechta there is further material on the members of the von Dorgelo family on Brettberg.
The Anna Klus is a pilgrimage chapel in honor of St. Anna . It is located in Südlohne on the northern edge of the former Dagersloh on Pickerweg , at the foot of the Hamberg near a ford near a spring that is valued as a source of grace. The first Klus, probably founded by a returning crusader before 1300, was destroyed in the Spanish-Dutch or in the Thirty Years' War. The second class was built in 1680 by Fritz von Dorgelo in the shape of an octagon. From 1684 to 1742 the Dorgelos had their own pastor at the Klus. In an episcopal visitation protocol from 1703 it is reported about the source that many sick people used to drink from it and were healed. According to oral reports by old people, various votive offerings were hanging in the clusters, including a. Glasses, crutches and silver hearts. In 1873 the remains of the Klus were broken off. The "Klausgarten" became arable land. On St. Anne's Day, June 26, 1949, the third class was inaugurated. Every year 5,000 to 10,000 believers come to St. Anne's Day.

Wardenburg : The earliest mention of Gut Höven goes back to a document from 1390, in which "a house ton Höven", then owned by the princes of the Porsenberge, was named. Formerly owned by the Junker von Raden, on October 14, 1678, the "highly honorable, highly virtuous virgin Auguste Anna Sophia von Rahden , heir to Höven", with the "high-born, strict, manly Mr. Johann Rötger von Dorgelo, Prince of Münster's well-appointed captain of Brettbergen", in Wardenburg in front of the altar. August Wilhelm Anton von Dorgelo († 1855) was the last male descendant of his tribe in Höven. Since he died in 1855 without any descendants, the property came to Baron von Lützow, known as von Dorgelo, who sold it in 1864. On the grave of AWA von Dorgelo in the Wardenburg churchyard, at least until 1912, there was an iron cross with the inscription: “AWA von Dorgelo.

On the opposite side of the road there is a two meter high burial mound under which Adam Levin von Dorgelo (Dörgeloh) is buried.
In the church in Wardenburg hangs the coat of arms, which is supposed to remind of Otto Caspar Dietrich von Dorgelo (April 19, 1692 to March 30, 1719). The grave of August Wilhelm Anton von Dorgelo is located on the burial site of this church.
