history

The von Güldenstubbe are a branch of the Knutsen family, whose country of origin could not be precisely determined; Denmark and Holstein are given. The first to appear on the Baltic island of Ösel Peer Tage Knutsen († November 20, 1703 ) - with the spellings Knutzen, Knutzon, Knudson and Knudsen - a provisions and rent master . His eldest son, Peer Anton Knutsen (1671–1757), was first a cornet and later an economics commissioner, then he was an Oesel district administrator . On April 21, 1708 he was by the Swedish King Charles XII. (1682–1718), changed his family name to "Gyllenstubbe", ennobled. The coat of arms confirmation also comes from this year. Peer Anton, who continued the Güldenstubbe family line as ancestor, initially wrote himself “Güllenstubbe”, and since the 1830s they have been called “Güldenstubbe”. The family only received the nobility diploma on July 3, 1731 through a letter of nobility with an extended coat of arms signed by the Swedish King Friedrich (1676–1751) . The younger brother of Peer Anton, Peer Tage (1698–1758) continued the line of the Knutsen family, which went out in 1858 with his granddaughter Katharina Helena von Bock, née von Knutsen.

In 1909 the Güldenstubbe family received the Estonian indigenous community . The Güldenstubbes were owned by Mäemöis a so-called Beigut , which was acquired by Carl Gustav von Güldenstubbe in 1791 and sold to the farmers' agricultural bank in 1908. Several officers , lawyers and administrative officials emerged from the family , who held leading positions in the Knighthood and state government; they also appointed several presidents of the consistory of the ecclesiastical province of Ösel.
