Lippe (noble family)
The lords and barons of the Lippe are a family of the Westphalian nobility from the Paderborn monastery .
Despite the similarity of names and local proximity, they are not to be confused with the noble lords, counts and princes of the Lippe , especially since some illegitimate descendants of the Lippe family were also called "von der Lippe".
history
The family first appears in a document in 1180 with Henricus (I.) de Lippia , with whom the line of tribes begins. There is no evidence of any descent from the noblemen, counts and princes zur Lippe (with the Westphalian rose in the coat of arms).
The geographic origin of the family is the Paderborn Monastery . For several centuries, the lords and barons provided canons and other ministers for the Paderborn cathedral chapter. In Paderborn Cathedral even more grave plates and today are epitaphs to see. Canon Anton Lothar acquired the Heiersburg on the city wall in 1692 , on which his coat of arms from 1693 is still located.
In the 14th century the focus of the family shifted to Vinsebeck . The line there was divided into an older branch (expired in 1767) and a younger branch on the small farm (expired in 1697). The first belonged to Reineke von der Lippe (1548–1591); the common grave with his wife Anna von Oeynhausen is still in the church of Vinsebeck. Bernd (1548–1608) founded the younger line to Vinsebeck with his wife Anna von der Borch zu Holzhausen.
The Vinsebeck landowner and Drost Johann Friedrich Ignaz von der Lippe had the splendid baroque Vinsebeck Castle built by Hildesheim builder Justus Wehmer in 1720 ; His three brothers were able to provide him with the financial means, Adolf Franz Friedrich , Ferdinand Ernst Adam and Mauritz Lothar, who were all canons of Paderborn and who voted for Prince Clemens August of Bavaria in the Paderborn bishops' election in 1719 , for which they from the houses of Wittelsbach and Habsburg were rewarded princely. When Clemens August was also elected Archbishop of Cologne in 1723, he appointed Adolf Franz Friedrich to the Privy Council.
In 1767, with the death of Moritz Anton Johann Victor Freiherr von der Lippe (1714–1767), the castle and the property belonging to it fell to Count Wolff-Metternich zur Gracht . Around 1795 the Wintrup line of the Lords of Lippe sued the Count Wolff-Metternich for possession of Vinsebeck. They went against a family contract from 1767, which bequeathed the castle to Wolff-Metternich, which violated the status of the rulership as a Paderborn man and family fief. The unsuccessful process dragged on for 40 years.
The main reference for the family history is the three-volume family chronicle Die Herren und Freiherren von der Lippe by Viktor Freiherr von der Lippe zu Wintrup (1875–1960) with the participation of Friedrich Philippi from the years 1921–1923.
coat of arms
The family coat of arms shows two black tournament collars in silver , the upper one with five, the lower one with four bibs. On the helmet with black and silver covers the shield image between an open silver flight.
The baronial coat of arms is described in the family chronicle as follows: “A silver shield in which two black tournament collars can be seen one above the other, the upper one with five, the lower one with four bibs. On the main edge of the shield rests the golden baron crown with seven visible pearl prongs, overlaid by an open tournament helmet with a black and silver bulge and helmet covers. An open, silver-colored eagle flight serves as a helmet treasure, with two tournament collars similar to the one visible on the shield at the top. "
