Gaugreben (also Gogreve , Hogrebe or Gaugrebe ) is the name of a Westphalian - Waldeck noble family . The lords of Gaugreben belonged to the ancient nobility in the Hochsauerland and Hesse .

history

origin

The family derived their name from the office of graph . For generations, members of the family presided over the lower court in Medebach . Gograf Luithewicus (Ludwig) Gougravius ​​appeared in the office of Medebach in 1172 as probably the first documented relatives , while Hermannus Gogravius ​​de Medebike , who certainly belongs to the family, appears in documents in 1255. With the knight Heinemann Gogreve († before 1394), mentioned in a document from 1343 to 1390, the uninterrupted family line begins . He was the owner of the Burglehn in Medebach and Waldeck bailiff in Korbach .

Siedlinghausen Castle , owned by the family from 1370 to 1657
Bruchhausen Castle , family-owned from the 15th century to 1937

Lines and possessions

After 1300 parts of the Assinghauser Grund came from the County of Waldeck to the Gaugreben family as pledge . In 1370 the family also acquired property in Nordenau and in 1380 in Assinghauser Grund property in Brunskappel and Siedlinghausen . The pledge on the Assinghauser Grund ended in 1533. The members of the family received the so-called Hessenlehen in 1461, d. H. the Franche Grönebach and castle Goddelsheim (today part of Lichtenfels ), of Landgraf Ludwig II. of Hessen to fief . The county of Grönebach was still a Waldeck fief of the Lords of Büren around 1410 , but since 1423 it has been a Hessian fief of the Gaugreben family. Feudal reverses have only been preserved since 1461. In 1812 the Gaugreben family was enfeoffed by Grand Duke Ludwig of Hesse, the then Duke of Westphalia. The county of Grönebach included the villages of Grönebach, Siedlinghausen, Niedersfeld and Hildfeld .

In the first half of the 15th century, two lines were formed, an older line to Siedlinghausen, which expired again in the second half of the 17th century, and a younger line to Bruchhausen . During the 16th and 17th centuries, the younger line was divided into the branches of Bruchhausen, Goddelsheim ( Catholic branch), Valme and Baldeborn , Goddelsheim ( Protestant branch), Meineringhausen and Oberalme . Members of the Catholic branch Goddelsheim made it to Russia and entered Russian military service. Charlotte Margarete von Gaugreben (* 1742, † 1828) from the Catholic Ast Goddelsheim married the Russian general Otto Heinrich von Lieven and became a tsar's educator and chief steward at the Russian court. For her services she was raised to the rank of count on February 22, 1799 and to the rank of prince on August 28, 1826 . She was ancestor of the princes of Lieven . Except for the Bruchhausen branch, all have gone out again.

With the establishment of the province of Westphalia at the beginning of the 19th century, numerous members entered Prussian services and became officers in the Prussian army . In 1847, members of the Bruchhausen branch received a Prussian confirmation of the baron title they had held since ancient times. The last owner of the old Bruchhausen family estate, Therese von Gaugreben, adopted her niece Auguste Freiin von Schönau-Wehr , who later married Baron Ferdinand von Lüninck on Ostwig, in 1918 . This was then given the name Gaugreben-Schönau by royal Prussian cabinet order of October 31, 1918 .
