history

A Arnoldus de Drolshagen appears in 1223 in a document issued in Soest , in the Count Gottfried II. Of Arnsberg the Marienfeld monastery sold goods. Probably the same as Arnoldus aduocatus (= Vogt) is a witness of a document from the Count, in which he transfers an estate to Claholt Monastery. In 1227 he was now referred to as Arnoldus aduocatus de Druylshagen , witness as Archbishop Heinrich I of Cologne , notarized a dispute between Count Heinrich von Sayn and Otto von Ravensberg over some goods. In 1232 he was referred to as Aduocatus eiusdem ecclesiae of the Church of St. Clemens in Drolshagen. In 1258, a Henricus aduocatus witnessed when Archbishop Konrad von Hochstaden transferred the mountain from the Grafschaft monastery to Siegfried von Wittgenstein and Adolf von Grafschaft, on which they later founded the city of Berleburg .

A branch of the family settled in Munster ; 1362, II. 13th, inheritance of the brothers Henrich and Arnold von Drolshagen. Arnold receives all goods in the Münster monastery.

Several canons in Münster and Utrecht come from this family . An Everhard von Drolshagen was a cathedral sexton. An Adolf von Drolshagen was even provost at the old cathedral in Münster. He was also the teacher of the later Bishop Ludwig II of Hesse . A Bernd de Drolshagen was referred to as a knight in 1362. It is also possible that a mayor of Münster, Arnold Drolshagen, named by Johann Dietrich von Steinen , is a member of the family.

Around 1470, an Arndt von Drolshagen wrote a kind of family story, mainly about the Münsterland branch.

Their role was just as important for the Niesing monastery . Elisabeth von Drolshagen was elected mother of the house in 1500. Ida Maria von Drolshagen was a choir sister in the Herzebrock monastery and died in 1736.

There was also a Livonian family with the same name. This is said to come from Westphalia, but was probably not related to this sex.
