Origin and family

Eberhard Philipp came from the German-Baltic noble family von der Brüggen , which had been based in the Baltic States since the beginning of the 16th century . His father was the landscape cornet Ernst von der Brüggen († January 27, 1689), lord of Lahnen and Straden in Courland. He was married to Margarethe Anna von Schenking († around 1677) from the Schlockenbeck house in Courland. Eberhard Philipp married Ottilie Elisabeth Hahn († around 1728), a daughter of Georg Hahn, Herr von Schlockenbeck, and Anna Dorothea von der Brüggen in June 1696. He had inherited Schlockenbeck from his mother. After Georg Hahn's death, Schlockenbeck passed to von der Brüggen. In his last will, Eberhard Philipp stipulated that the Schlockenbeck farm was bequeathed to his brother Johann Ewald († 1751). The only child of Eberhard Philipp and Elisabeth Hahn was Anna Dorothea von der Brüggen (1700–1760) who was married to Wilhelm von Grotthuss (1697–1734). She inherited Schlockenbeck and later sold it.
