Engelhardt (noble family)
Engelhardt is the name of a Baltic noble family . The family currently continues.
Contrary to earlier representations, such as in Kneschke and some of it Vorautoren used, the family is no longer the Silesian Engelhart recycled and also by the two in 1776 and 1860 ennobled families Engelhardt to distinguish.
history
The Engelhardt were vassals of the Archbishop of Riga and were first mentioned in a document with Hans Engelhardt on May 20, 1496, when he acquired the Azegall court, later named after the Engelhardtshof family, from Kremon from the cathedral chapter . The lineage of the family begins around 1600 with the brothers Caspar and Michael Engelhardt.
On May 28, 1734, the family received the Swedish nobility naturalization . The royal Swedish captain Wilhelm Gerhard von Engelhardt from the house of Perst was introduced to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood in 1742 (No. 1858). The enrollment with the Estonian knighthood took place on February 8, 1745 for Caspar Friedrich von Engelhardt, heir to von Kuckers . The Engelhardt from the houses of Nawwast and Perst enrolled in the Livonian knighthood in 1747 . Engelhardt from the houses Alt-Born , Brüggen and Kummeln were accepted into the Kurländische Ritterbank in 1789 . By Senatsukase on September 21, 1853 and December 7, 1854, the entire Engelhardt family was granted Russian recognition of the right to use the baron title .
