Coat of arms of those of Dorne

The von Dorne family originally came from the ore monastery of Bremen ; and immigrated to the Hanseatic city of Lübeck in the 16th century . The successful merchants allied themselves with the city patriciate and appointed councilors and Lübeck mayors . In the 18th century the family integrated into the Mecklenburg land nobility.

history

The first councilor in Lübeck was Hermann von Dorne († 1559) in 1535 , who had married Elisabeth Wibbeking , a daughter of Lübeck councilor Konrad Wibbeking , who had immigrated from Westphalia . Since 1537 they lived in the house Mengstrasse 4, today the Buddenbrookhaus , in a central location of the late medieval town. The house remained in the ownership of the von Dorne family until 1706. In 1740 the von Dorne family was accepted into the Mecklenburg nobility. With the death of the Austrian major Freiherr Adolph von Dorne, the line became extinct on September 19, 1859 in the male line.

Possessions

Patronage and foundations

von-Dornes-Hof
  • The late Gothic von-Dornes-Hof in Schlumacherstraße 15–23 in Lübeck's old town , which is now a listed building, was originally a charitable foundation of the Lübeck citizens Hermann Evinghusen and Johann Berskamp from 1458. It is the oldest monastery in Lübeck. The foundation was later administered by members of the von Dorne family and their assets were supported by donations and endowments, so that their name was transferred to the foundation.
  • Hermann von Dorne auf Neuenhagen, who died in 1713, donated the baroque pulpit of the Kalkhorster church and the organ prospect of this church could also be redesigned from these donation funds by his descendant of the same name in 1732. The coat of arms of the von Dorne family is on both. The funds allocated from the estate of 1713 were used up during the organ renovation in 1869.

Remarks

  1. ↑ Several secondary sources from the 19th century also name “Barmen in Westphalia” as the place of birth. This is doubtful as Barmen was a sparsely populated, loose court association in the 15th century. Even the mention of Westphalia does not really match Barmen (today a part of Wuppertal ), which in the 19th century belonged to the Rhineland as an independent municipality .
