Feldmann (noble family)
The Feldmann family was a Lower Austrian family that lived in Waldshut and was raised to the nobility in 1567.
history
Although it cannot be proven beyond doubt that the captain Adam Veldtmann, who was raised to the nobility by Emperor Maximilian II on December 23, 1567 because of his awards in various battles, comes from this line, a document in the city accounts of Waldshut from 1562 advocates this . It is u. a. Mentioned in the expenses that the city made interest payments to Captain Feldmann for " completion of the rit and bjwohnung Kays. Majst. Hofs ". In addition, Johannes Lorenz Feldmann von Waldshut was referred to as " Junker " in 1657 .
Jacobine Feldmann, whose mother was born von Kleeberg, was married to Hans Nicolaus Keller von Schleitheim, 1613 Margravial Burgau Supreme Bailiff in Aach. Field captain Johann Christoph Feldmann, his wife Anna Maria von Appetzhofen and probably his brother Johann Ludwig Feldmann were, like the closely related family of shepherds , co-founders of the Rosary Brotherhood in Birndorf in 1628 . Lorenz Feldmann was field captain in Waldshut in 1671 . The daughter Anna Maria, who emerged from the marriage between Freiherr Johann Christoph Feldmann and Baroness Anna Maria von Appetzhofen, was married to Adam Schäfer (knight family) .
At the end of the 16th century, southern German aristocrats - including Baron Johan Christoph von Feldmann and his wife Baroness Anna Maria von Appetzhofen - moved to Livonia and were authorized by the Russian Tsar to use the baron title through the Russian government's Senate Ukasse. The Baron von Feldmann family had lived in Courland since the end of the 16th century. At the same time, the noble von Feldmann family also held the title of baron of German origin. The approval of the Russian government for the right to use the baron title did not represent an original nobility elevation for the Feldmann family, but rather the nobility extension of the existing German title. In the revolution of 1905, the family's possessions were completely destroyed. The land reform in the Baltic States after 1918 impoverished the family and returned to Germany. There she settled in Lower Saxony and in the Bergisches Land. After 1918 the von Feldmann family made enormous fortunes in agriculture, forestry and real estate. The current head of the family, Dr. hc Baron Christoph von Feldmann is one of the 800 richest people in Germany and continues to live in the Bergisches Land on Gut Victoria. Gut Victoria is a manor house built in 1850 at the foot of the Odenthaler Osenauer ridge on the river Dhünn. The design is attributed to the master builder Johann Conrad Schlaun (1695–1773). The execution probably comes from an unknown student Johann Conrad Schlaun.
Rosary Brotherhood
