Mecklenburg

According to recent research, the Mecklenburg von Gloeden first appear in a document with Knight Widemannus Glode († after 1307) on October 28, 1276 when Duke Barnims donated it to the city of Greifswald . Until the 19th century, the first appearance of the family was determined in 1226 with Rambertus Gloeden, who is mentioned in the foundation letter of the Güstrow cathedral . The family seat was Roggenhagen in Stargarder Land, which remained in the family's possession until around 1700.

A line extends to the Hanseatic city of Lüneburg . The trunk line of this line began with Wichmann, mayor of Neuruppin , whose son Georg was also mayor of Neuruppin in 1490 and was the master of Dreskow. The tombstone of Martin von Gloeden has been preserved here. He studied in Rostock in 1490/91 , became a doctor of law and went to Lüneburg, where he was initially a syndic and in 1516 also a Sülfmeister . He was the heir to Hasenwinkel , Embsen and Putensen and died on September 23, 1524. With his grandson, Anton von Gloeden, who committed suicide on September 4, 1578 and previously became a Sülfmeister in 1557 after studying in Rostock , Wittenberg and Frankfurt , was also the heir to Ochtmissen , Embsen and Putensen, the Lüneburg line has expired in the male line . He left only one daughter Katharina (born May 11, 1576) who was married to Kasper Laffert in 1594 and again to Georg von Tzerstede in 1615.

In 1523 Henning Glode had drawn the union of the Mecklenburg estates for the family .

Around 1630 Bernhard von Gloeden acquired the Flemsdorf estate near Angermünde . However, his son Bernhard Christoph von Gloeden († 1699) decided on this Uuckmarket line again.

Felix Heinrich von Gloeden († 1700) the share in the second half of the 17th Century Country Estate to Gribow and Balitz acquired and iam 25 January 1700 about investiture received, the family made in Swedish Pomerania sedentary. In 1776 Christian Ludwig von Gloeden (1739–1782) acquired the Willerswalde estate , which in 1815 was sold to von Buggenhagen . In the Swedish state parliament , the von Gloeden were grouped in the 3rd class of knighthood (No. 9). Hans Felix Conrad von Gloeden (1771–1840) enlarged his Gut Balitz by purchasing it so that it was renamed Glödenhof with the approval of the government . Carl Felix Wilhelm von Gloeden (* 1798, † after 1842) who succeeded him in possession was also wealthy at Dreetz at Deutsch Krone in West Prussia .

From the middle of the 18th century, the family sent four daughters from the Roggenhagen house to the Dobbertin monastery as conventuals . Johanna Agnes von Gloeden (1723–1791), who was in the convent for about 30 years , still has the tombstone donated by her relative, the Templin prelate von Arnim , at the Dobbertin monastery cemetery . Johanna Wilhelmina Philippina von Gloeden († 1882) was the youngest and last conventual from the family in Dobbertin.

In the 19th century, part of the family was employed in Mecklenburg. Wilhelm von Gloeden's father was a forester at Volkshagen , and from 1856 an inspection officer and forester in Dargun . Wilhelm's uncle, Iwan von Glöden, was a private lecturer at the University of Rostock , author and editor of a conservative newspaper.

The uckermärkischen von Glöden, originally Glughen or Glügen , first appeared in a document in 1375 with the brothers Hyneke, Roderich and Ulrich, lords of Lübbenow, Cremtzow, Schapow and Tornow, all located in the Prenzlau district.

The family served with distinction in the Prussian Army . The Prussian Major General Otto Leopold Ehrenreich von Gloeden (1731–1801) deserves special mention as the highest-ranking officer in the family .

In the 19th century, part of the family was employed in Mecklenburg. Wilhelm von Gloeden's father was a forester at Volkshagen , and from 1856 an inspection officer and forester in Dargun . Wilhelm's uncle, Iwan von Glöden, was a private lecturer at the University of Rostock , author and editor of a conservative newspaper.

With the royal Prussian war and tax council Gustav Wilhelm Carl von Gloeden, who married Wilhelmine Dorothea von Kochtel in Ruhrort , a line came to the Rhine . He had five children in this marriage. His son Olivier von Gloeden (1783-1825) was the main customs office inspector in Wesel. His brother, the agricultural inspector Otto von Gloeden (1788–1840) , also belonged to this generation . He became master of the Veen and Haag estates near Xanten and worked with Karl Friedrich Schinkel on the new development of the town of Büderich on the Rhine. Otto's son, Sylvester von Gloeden (1826–1904), inherited his father's property, but returned to Western Pomerania in 1855 by marrying Clara Caroline von Eickstädt . His son Benno von Gloeden (* 1858, † after 1920) served as a Prussian lieutenant in the 2nd Hanseatic Infantry Regiment No. 76 and published poems and stories. After separating from Dorothea von Kochtel, Gustav Wilhelm Carl von Gloeden married his second wife, Florentine von Schultz from the Witten family. He had four children with her. Well-known are Eduard von Gloeden (1801–1861) and Friedrich Magnus Alexander von Gloeden (* 1808 in Berlin), who both carried the title of baron without objection .

The Prussian lieutenant a. D. Heinrich Anton von Gloeden from Berlin was stripped of the nobility in Prussia for stealing a clock in 1812 or 1818, whereupon his wife King Friedrich Wilhelm III. announced a double suicide in a letter.

The immediate application of the Prussian Prime Lieutenant a. D., most recently company commander in the 1st Battalion of the Königsberg 1st Landwehr Regiment, Herr auf Steinbeck in the Königsberg district and domain leaseholder of Cayman in the Labiau district , Johann Eduard Adolf Glede (1804–1887), to permit the use of the noble name and coat of arms, his alleged ancestors, those of Gloeden, was rejected by the heraldry in 1856 .

coat of arms

Coat of arms of Gloeden (Mecklenburg)

The family coat of arms shows a silver ram's horn in blue. On the helmet with blue, red and gold covers, two ram horns turned outwards.

Zedlitz also reports on these variants: those from Gloeden on Rugenhagen have a broad silver horn in the blue field. Another variant shows a silver chamois horn in the blue shield and two such chamois horns grow from a bunch on the helmet. This is what Bagmihl shows, while Siebmacher 's ram's horn is blue and the shield is silver. The helmet horns are also shown there in blue, with the note that the display of the helmet decorations varies.

Coat of arms of Gloeden (Uckermark)

The family coat of arms shows a red wheel in blue. On the helmet with red-blue blankets a growing natural boar , carrying a natural apple in its mouth, the head with three (blue, red, blue) peacock feathers . The uckermärkischen von Glöden therefore have the same coat of arms as the Neumärkischen von Uchtenhagen . A conspicuous coats-of-arms similarity of the uckermärkischen von Gloeden with those von Uchtenhagen, von Jagow and the Stülpnagel makes a tribal relationship probable in the common region of origin.

Zedlitz reports on these variants: Shield squared: Fields 1 and 4 are gold, 2 and 3 are blue. In the middle lies a golden wheel touching all four fields. A silver boar stands on the crowned helmet. Another variant of this family shows a shield, blue in the upper half and divided in silver and red below, with the wheel mentioned above. A porcupine hit in the head by three silver javelins is depicted on the helmet.

Hasse gives the same coat of arms under the name von der Glöden, but there is a brown fox on the helmet, holding the wheel between his teeth. It is covered with three golden ears of corn.

At Siebmacher, the wheel is shown with six spokes and silver in the blue shield. On the helmet with a blue-silver blanket a black growing wild boar, the head studded with three (black, silver, black) ostrich feathers, in its mouth holding an apple on a green leafed stem, which was depicted in both red and gold.

The boar, which also occurs in full figure and also in silver, can easily be confused with a heraldic porcupine or hedgehog (which also occurs in the Gloeden coats of arms), possibly with a badger, with its characteristically pronounced back bristles, like the helmet decorations on the von Jagow and Stülpnagel occur, who all also have a red wheel - albeit on a silver background. This is also supported by the throwing spikes on the head of the Gloeden and the Jagow. The blue coloring of Gloeden's shield can be a traditional mistake, which can stem from the fact that silver was sometimes actually used in colored coats of arms for silver, which can take on a bluish color after oxidation .
