history

The Gundlach ( Gundelach , Gondelach ) come from an old Hessian family of glassmakers , which can be traced back to the then glass stronghold Großalmerode . In the near- Allendorf , the Gundlach leave before 1500 documentary touch and had already in 1461 outworks in neighboring Wahlhausen where Curt Gundelach already in that year overseer was. The son of the Großalmeroder Gläsner guild master Frantz Gundelach, called the younger Becker (* before 1546; † around 1628), Matthäus Gundelach (* 1566; † 1653), who became Emperor Rudolf II's chamber painter in Prague in 1609, also came from this family . Franz Gondelach (* 1663; † 1723), who is regarded as the most important glass cutter of his time, also belonged to Großalmerode and to this family . Today his works can be found in the most important glass collections in the world.

A kinship with the Tyrolean or Viennese Gundlach family of the 15th / 16th centuries Century is not known. There also seems to be no relationship to the Gundlach family of councilors of the imperial city of Rothenburg ob der Tauber of the 15th century, which was related to the Viennese Gundlach .

In Nuremberg, a patrician family Gundlach can be traced back to a Heintz Gundlach († 1476, buried in St. Sebald ), whose father of the same name came from Bamberg around 1411 , where it was a ministerial family of the prince-bishops attested since 1096 . In Nuremberg, related by marriage to such important patricians as Lemmel , Tucher , Paumgartner and Pömer , the family died out with the merchant Michael Gundlach, whose coat of arms is depicted on a "Jetton" from 1616.

As early as 1555, the Nuremberg merchant Johann Gundlach had this coat of arms designed by the Nuremberg engraver Virgil Solis . The family coat of arms of his wife Christina, who came from the "honorable" family who came to Nuremberg with Conrad Fürleger in 1310, was also shown. With this Gundlach coat of arms, the brothers Hans senior, Melchior, Hans junior, Abraham and Zacharias Gundlach were raised to the imperial nobility in Prague by Emperor Rudolph II on December 3, 1581 . Relying on it, without hesitation, tracing its own line of tribe back to one of the Nuremberg Hans von Gundlach († 1590), and since they had in the meantime lost their nobility, the Mecklenburg branch of the Gundelach, actually of Hesse, asked the emperor to restore the imperial nobility through renovation. Emperor Franz I then confirmed relatives Joachim Friedrich, Gottfried Christian Friedrich, Ernst Friedrich Jobst (* 1715 - † 1788), Ehrenreich Johann Christian (* 1737), Jobst Gottfried (* 1739), Lucas Heinrich in Vienna on August 16, 1748 (* 1741), Adolf Friedrich (* 1742), Christoph Albrecht (* 1745) and Ernst Friedrich Gundlach (* 1747) the nobility with the coat of arms of the Nuremberg Gundlach, shown as the ancestral. This was finally recognized by their sovereign, the Mecklenburg Duke Christian Ludwig II , in 1750.

Spread and personalities

The Gundlachs as glassmakers

The continuous lineage of the family in Mecklenburg begins around 1600 with the glassworks master Jobst Gundlach from Großalmerode in Hesse. His descendants recorded an unparalleled economic success story in Mecklenburg and beyond.

The brothers Daniel († after 1622) and Jobst (* approx. 1587; † 1630) set up a glassworks in Gammelin in 1622 , where Curd Pentz sold them a "place of wood" for 9,000 marks Lübisch . Eleven years later, a new contract was signed between the two for another wood area for 3,000 marks. Even the war years failed to drive them out, because in 1641 they were still glass masters in Gammelin and bought beech thread wood again for 1,000 marks. From 1659 to 1693 the glassworks in Kritzow (1662–1707), Müsselmow (1726–1746), Groß Welzin , Dümmerstück , Griebow , Siggelkow , Krembz and Klein Welzin were added, which was not entirely without resistance or even complaints the competition and the local nobility.

In Holstein , where glassmaking also flourished, the family first appeared as hut owners around 1660. In the area around Preetz on the noble estates Kastorf , Lehmkuhl and Perdoel , the glassworks were operated by the Gundlach. Hans Heinrich Gundlach († 1715) came to Mecklenburg from there. In 1709 he was a smelter in Wendorf . Glass master Jost Cnuth Gundelach moved from the Wendorf glassworks to Holstein around 1703. Among other things, he worked at the Lindauer Hütte in Gut Ascheberg in 1720 .

In 1709, the District of Conow, together with the glassworks, was pledged to Hofrat Bartsch zu Lichtenberg, who came from Saxony-Gotha , for 5000 thalers. When the Hofrat died in 1715, his widow initially took over the property, but soon left Gut Conow and the glassworks to Hans Heinrich Gundelach. Half a century after the founding of the glassworks at Gut Conow (1701), the heirs of the glass master lieutenant Christian Friedrich von Gundlach († 1749) stopped operating the smelter. In 1751 Conow fell back to the Mecklenburg rulers , together with the leasehold and dairy .

In 1705 Johann Jürgen Gundlach built a glassworks in Bolz (1720–1729) and in Hohen Pritz (1731–1740). At the same time, the glassworks on Gut Brüel came to the Gundlach. The Hütthof hereditary lease near Brüel is still reminiscent of this glassworks today. In 1707 Friedrich Gundlach took over the Toddiner Hütte from the widowed Duchess Christina Wilhelmina (* 1653; † 1722). Toddin's neighboring town, the old glassworks , still existed until the 19th century . Johann Lukas Gundlach (* 1685, † 1746) graduated in 1713 with Christoph Hans Grabow on Woosten (1713-1723) and Christoph Magnus from Barner on Kressin a steelworks agreement on what, but built on the latter Feldmark at the Woostener vagina, a glassworks has been. Five years later, Joachim Friedrich Gundlach asked for a consensus to build a glassworks on the Erlenkamp property of Vielist and Grabowhöfe . The contract was concluded for a period of fourteen years for 3,000 thalers .

In 1721 the glass master Jobst Gundlach for the Rumpshagener Hütte received the consensus to build a hut in Hohen Mistorf for ten years. Here there were legal disputes with the owner Christoph von Levetzow , which Gundlach still had to resolve in his favor. Legal disputes for Lieutenant Christian Gundlach with Jobst von Bülow in 1719 because of the glassworks in Woserin (1719–1731) were far less successful . Even the intervention of Duke Karl Leopold could not arbitrate the matter, so that Bülow finally owed more than 1000 thalers for penal mandates alone. Gundlach's failures in production and delivery accounted for a multiple. In 1731 the legal dispute came before the Reich Execution Commission, where it was finally found in Bülow's favor.

Overall, despite these setbacks, the family's expansion in the glass business was not significantly affected. Near Eldenburg, in the Stadtfeldmark Waren , a Gundlach glassworks was known in 1720, in 1724 Johann Lukas Gundlach built a hut on Rockow , the pertinence of the Kamptzschen Gut Plasten until 1740. He leased the farm at the same time, pays 100 thalers a year for it and 200 thalers for the hut. This hut was not closed until 1752. In the following year Gundlach bought the Gützkower Hütte from glass master Heinrich Seitz on the way of the highest bid . Here, too, the Pertinenz Hüttenhof is a reminder of the company at that time. Already in 1717 Gundlach had leased the hut in Möllenhagen from Jakob Ernst von Holstein to Klink und Möllenhagen, whose father intended to set up a hut in 1692.

The construction of a hut by Christian Friedrich Gundlach in Hohen Pritz , which was owned by the royal Danish court master von Parkentin , failed in 1730 because of a treacherous attack on Woserin on behalf of Jobst Hinrich von Bülow. Around 1731 Jürgen Friedrich Gundlach was a glass maker at the Weisdin works .

In 1734 Johann Lukas Gundlach set up a glassworks on von Maltzan's Gut Wustrow , which produced until 1750. This prompted the feudal cousins ​​to raise objections, and this is another long-term process. At the same time, Gundlach has a hut in Peckatel . Around the middle of the century we meet the Gundlachs in Groß Dratow , where Johann Lukas Gundlach set up the glassworks he used until 1728 as early as 1717, and at Dobbertinschen Hütten. Ultimately, Johann Friedrich Adam Gundlach (* 1736; † 1808) was still a glassmaker in Boitzenburg near Feldberg . At the end of the 18th century, the Gundlachs disappeared from the number of hut owners and became landowners.

The Gundlachs in modern times

The family provided numerous officers in the Mecklenburg, Danish and Prussian armies .

Friedrich von Gundlach (* 1772; † 1811), who had served as a second lieutenant in Flensburg , shot himself in a forest near the town of Braak on the road to Plön - probably because of an unhappy love for a Sophie in Glückstadt . He found a quiet but honest burial in the churchyard of nearby Neumünster.

Johann Friedrich von Gundlach (* 1752; † 1837) on Rumpshagen, Leizen and Hinrichsberg and his wife Johanna von Oertzen (* 1771; † 1807) became the first parents of all members of the family currently living.

Carl Friedrich von Gundlach from the Neustadt office and Johann Friedrich von Gundlach from the Stavenhagen office and the Wredenhagen office belonged to the extended knighthood of Mecklenburg-Schwerin in 1833. In the state parliament of 1839, Johann Adolf Friedrich von Gundlach (* 1789; † 1865) on Leizen and Rumpshagen, Rittmeister Friedrich Ernst August von Gundlach on Möllenhagen (* 1790; † 1875), Heinrich von Gundlach (* 1798; † 1858), Lieutenant from Mirow and Ernst Friedrich Georg Theodor von Gundlach (* 1803; † 1883), received by the Mecklenburg nobility on Hinrichsberg, Torisdorf and Mollenstorf. In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are therefore only eight entries from the daughters of the von Gundlach family from Hinrichsberg, Leizen and Rumpshagen for admission to the noble women's monastery in Dobbertin monastery from 1839–1901 .

1838 from bought Dresden coming Brothers of Gundlach in Lauenburg for 11000 Reichstaler the Freigut Fürstenhof which Carl Gundlach of 1871 to the Mustiner businessman Friedrich Frahm sold.

Barbara Elisabeth von Gundlach (* 1767; † 1850) married Lieutenant General Otto Johann Friedrich von Drygalski (* 1788; † 1860), Pauline von Gundlach (* 1820; † 1886) with Lieutenant General Friedrich Felix Bernhard Ferdinand von Borcke (* 1811 †) 1883).

The old sacristy of the Ankershagen Church has served as the hereditary burial of Johann Lucas the Elder's family since 1727. Elder Gundlach, in 1864 it was again transferred to the sacristy and the Gundlach coffins to Rumpshagen.

In 1934 Pauline von Gundlach built the apartment building Nizzastraße 24 (corner of Nizzastraße / Rosenstraße) in Radebeul . Above the entrance she had her family coat of arms and the year put up in sandstone. She owned the building that still exists today until 1945.
