Coat of arms of those of Engdes

Engdes is the name of an old German-Baltic noble family that died out in the 18th century .

history

The family first appeared in the 13th century in the then Danish Wierland , a historical landscape in the northeast of today's Estonia , and is probably of German-Danish origin. The Engdes are tribal and coats of arms related to the Wrangel as well as to the Löwenwolde († 19th century). Dominus Eilardus (⚔ 1241), wealthy on Wrangalæ, the later Wrangelshof, is regarded as the common progenitor of the Engdes and Wrangel .

Robertus de Engdis owned Engdes in Estonia in 1277 , from which the family may have taken your name. The Engdes also owned Arbafer , Katis, Kayafer, Linenputte , Poltzen, Warninge and Wissuft in Livonia in the Middle Ages in Estonia . The House of Pöddes became particularly important . Reinhold Engdes († before 1558), heir to Wissuft, had acquired the Pöddes estate, which Estonians still name after their family , by marrying Dorothea Kalff . His grandson Hans Engdes († 1676) was a cavalry captain , judge and district administrator in Estonia. His son Reinhold von Engdes (* 1645; † 1702) was also a judge. Gender finds its way out with its children. With Hans von Engdes (* 1676; † 1725) the male line expires, his younger brother Hermann Reinhold von Engdes (* 1680; ⚔ 1701) stayed before Errestfer , he was Swedish quartermaster and judge. Wissuft was then confiscated by the Swedes and reassigned. Of the seven sisters, three died unmarried. Helene von Engdes (* 1677; † 1716) carried Pöddes to her husband, the Swedish district administrator Claus Gustav von Essen († 1740).
