In 1701, the legal scholar, author and Kolberger District Administrator Ewald Joachim Eichmann (* 1653, † 1717) was due to his services in the administration on the occasion of the coronation of Frederick III. raised to the hereditary nobility. In 1704, 1707 and 1712 he bought the three parts of the Neurese estate in the Principality of Fürstenthum and thus became the owner of the whole of Neurese.
