Haren (noble family)
Von Haren is the name of a Westphalian noble family .
history
The oldest known bearer of the name von Haren is Raban von Haren (also written "von Haaran") from Gelderland, who was born around 1040 . Descendants of Raban held the office of chamberlain of Herford Abbey for several generations .
After 1173, the family received from Haren Castle Haren from the Count of Tecklenburg Simion fief, which they previously by Bishop Hermann II. Munster had been given. According to the chronicle of the city of Haren, the Knights of Haren used Haren Castle as a hiding place for their raids against the Emsland property of the bishop. Reinhard Bojer, on the other hand, rates the von Haren family as loyal feudal men of the Counts of Tecklenburg and rates the claim of the bishop's supporters in the Middle Ages that Haren Castle was a "robber's nest" as a "pretext". Rather, the Knights of Haren were "good protectors of the Emsschiffer".
With the completion of Landegg Castle, Haren Castle became militarily and politically insignificant. In 1304 Nikolaus von Haren sold the castle to the Bishop of Münster. His nephew of the same name gave up all the family's goods in the Emsland in 1340.
The family initially relocated to the Osnabrück area . In the 14th and 15th centuries, the von Haren family owned Hünnefeld Castle . It acquired the Burglehn in front of Grönenberg, later called Gut Rabingen, near Laer (today the town of Melle ). Herbord von Haren was enfeoffed with the Laers property in 1579. In 1584 Heinrich von Sachsen-Lauenburg, Prince-Bishop of Osnabrück and Paderborn, enfeoffed Herbord von Haren with the Heitmann estate of the Laer farmers.
From 1591 to 1793 Hopen Castle in Lohne (Oldenburg) was another ancestral seat of the von Haren family , which at that time was called von Haren zu Laer and Hopen . The last male representative of the Hopen line was Clemens August von Haren (died 1792). The coat of arms of the von Haren family (three red spindles on a white background), which Raban alias Rolf von Haren (around 1210 to after 1277) already wore, who was enfeoffed with Haren Castle, is still above the entrance to Hopen Castle detect.
Names
The origin of the name "von Haren" is unclear. Both the place "Haren (Ems)" and the name of the family already existed when the Haren family settled in Haren. Likewise, the farmers in which Gut Kuhof ( Ostercappeln municipality ) is located has been known as "Haren" (today: " Haaren ") since 1068 , long before Rabodo von Haren, who died in 1402, married into Gut Kuhof.
coat of arms
Descendants of the Raban of Haren
The coat of arms shows three (2: 1) red spindles in silver. On the helmet with red-silver covers a red spindle between an open flight, silver on the right and red on the left.
Three “ Dengeleisen ” (the name of the municipality of Jork for the spindles) also adorn the coat of arms at the Graefenhof in Jork, which the municipality now serves as the town hall. This house was built between 1649 and 1651 by Matthäus von Haren. The Crollage Castle still bears the coat of arms of the von Haren family, albeit in reversal of color (white spindles on a red background), as a Bertold von Haren was the first documented owner of Gut Crollage.
Nikolaus von Haren (* 1692 in Bremen) could also have been a descendant of this line. He worked as the Swedish envoy from 1720 until his death on October 10, 1753 at the Reichstag in Regensburg and was buried at the Trinity Church in the envoy cemetery in Regensburg. The inscription on the grave slab shows that he was the heir to Jork, Melau and Twielenfleth, places in the Altes Land near Stade, which the family had owned since 1648. The grave slab has not been preserved, the inscription is documented.
Noble families "von Haren" with different coats of arms
In the "Book of Arms of the Westphalian Aristocracy", three Westphalian families are mentioned with the name of Haren . The second gender of this name has two red and yellow banded hunting horns as a coat of arms, which are arranged in the form of a St. Andrew's cross. Ancestral seat of this family was Gut Haaren near Hamm (Westphalia) . Descendants have settled on the Baltic coast.
Hayo von Haren, who was enfeoffed in 1458 by the Bishop of Münster with the "Papenborch", the nucleus of today's city of Papenburg , and whose descendants called themselves "von der Papenburg" , probably belongs to a different sex . On its seal was a coat of arms with a lion.
The fourth sex wore a quartered coat of arms. The first and fourth quarters were black and white streaked six times, and the second and third quarters contained a helmet with a black and white bulge.
