Drieberg (noble family)
Drieberg is the name of an old Mecklenburg noble family that had its roots in the Schwerin / Rostock area . The ancestral property was the current district of Drieberg in the Dragun municipality in the north-west Mecklenburg district .
history
The family first appears in a document in 1178 with Gottfried von Drieberg as a witness to Bishop Berno von Schwerin, with whom the line of tribe begins.
In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are eight entries by daughters of the von Drieberg families from Drieberg, Cramonshagen and Gottmannsförde from the years 1707–1790 for inclusion in the local aristocratic women's monastery ; How many of these were accepted as conventuals is still open. The coat of arms with attached Order of Star of Konventualin Friederica Charlotta Christina of Drieberg suspended with its alliance coat of arms on the nuns' gallery in the monastery church.
At the beginning of the 16th century, the von Drieberg family set up an estate in what is now Dolgen am See . Various members of the noble family were buried in the nearby village church of Hohen Sprenz , where their tombstones from the 16th and 17th centuries are still to be found today. The family coat of arms of the Driebergs can be found on the patron's box of this church.
