Froreich (noble family)
Froreich , also Frohreich, is the name of an originally German-Baltic , later Pomeranian noble family .
history
The noble family had probably come to Livonia and Courland with the Teutonic Order . From there, Metzig von Froreich , whose brother Canonicus was in Kolberg , settled in Western Pomerania in 1412 . He married one von Schlieven and thus became the progenitor of the Pomeranian line of the noble family. The Baltic house must have found its exit a little later. The secured family line begins with Georg von Froreich (* 1554), councilor , land rent master and heir on New Würzau near Mitau in the Baltic States and Neurese near Kolberg . It is possible that he did not settle in Pomerania until 1590. Under his grandchildren Paul Richard von Froreich (* 1624, † 1722), chamberlain of Queen Christine of Sweden and heir to Kaltenhagen , and Lorenz Heinrich von Froreich (* 1709), heir to Schulzenhagen, the family divided into two main branches, of which the the second found its exit in the 18th century. As early as 1620, the family was able to take part of the Czarndamerow estate , and later it also owned the Jüdenhagen, Plümenhagen, Datjow, Papenzin , Borkenhagen and Zowen estates.
coat of arms
