Feilitzen (noble family)
Feilitzen is the name of a German-Baltic - Swedish noble family .
Contrary to assumptions from the 19th century, there is no regular relationship to the Franconian - Vogtland von Feilitzsch . They are also tribe and coat of arms different from the Courland Pfeilitzer called Franck .
history
The family begins its line of roots with the city council of Neuruppin Bartholomeus Vilitz (approx. 1500–1570). His grandson Matthias Filitz (1561–1629) entered the service of the elector in 1618 as an overseer in the court room in Berlin . His son Adam von Feilitzen (approx. 1604–1669) came to Prussia as a noble page with Johan Sigismund from Brandenburg and entered the service of Gustav II Adolf with his death . In 1634 he was a deputy of the Livonian nobility at the funeral of the Swedish king and was able to take over the Tirsen estate near Schwanenburg among other offices . Tirsen stayed with the family with interruptions until 1723. Later members of the family hired themselves as officers in imperial -, Polish - but above all in Swedish services on the battlefields of the great Turkish war ( battle of Mohács ) of the great northern war ( battle of Narva , battle of the Düna ).
The family established itself in the Swedish heartland and, along with other officers, produced above all writers and farmers. It was not until 1818 that the filets were naturalized in Sweden and introduced to the nobility class of the Swedish knighthood in 1819 (No. 2271). This line expired in the male line in 1893 , while the main line currently persists.
