history

origin

According to a family legend, the von Harling are said to be descended from a Christoph Hahn who fought against the Hungarians in 955 in the entourage of Otto the Great and was then knighted after he called the emperor "Herre, left" in front of an approaching enemy had warned and thus saved his life. This Christoph Hahn is said to have had two rooster heads facing away from each other in the shield, which could be used to justify today's coat of arms of the family.

The family that belongs to the rural nobility in Lüneburg is documented for the first time in 1203 with the knight Teodericus de Harlege , who is mentioned as a witness in a donation from Count Siegfried von Osterburg. A knight of the same name, Theodoricus Herlege , documented it in 1243. He was enfeoffed with a court in Harlingen near Walsrode, which is also mentioned in the feudal deeds of the 15th and 16th centuries. It is believed that the von Harling family originated here and was named after this place.

The secured family line begins with Karsten and his son Karsten von Harling, who were Lords on Eversen before 1424 . In 1424, Wilhelm the Elder of Braunschweig and Lüneburg enfeoffed the brothers Otto and Karsten von Harling with two farms at Herlinge , one at Ripe and one at Euersten (= Eversen).

Church foundation in Sülze

Deed of foundation for Sülze from 1502

At the instigation of the Duchess Anna von Braunschweig-Lüneburg, the brothers Carsten and Otto von Harling donated large sums of money, the interest of which made it possible for more frequent trade fairs in Sülze . This foundation was increased again in 1504, so that a separate priesthood was created from it. Bishop Heinrich von Minden recognized the foundation in a document.

Christian Friedrich and Anna Katharina von Harling

Christian Friedrich von Harling was a privy councilor and head stable master at the electoral court in Hanover. His wife was Anna Katharina , née von Offen (1624–1702), the chief stewardess to the Electress of Hanover . Her family came from the Hessian castle Uffeln near Kassel, so it was confused with the originally Hessian von Uffeln (also: Offeln ) . Still unmarried, she was the tutor of the young Princess Liselotte of the Palatinate , who later became the Duchess of Orléans, with whom she remained in close correspondence throughout her life. The daughter of the Electress, Sophie Charlotte von Hannover , who later became the first Prussian queen, was brought up by Anna Katharina von Harling from 1678 onwards. The son of Sophie Charlottes, later King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia , was entrusted to Anna Katharina von Harlings in 1692 at the age of four, together with the later British King George II , but the two little princes did not get along well. The Duchess of Orléans, Liselotte von der Pfalz, would have loved to entrust her children to Anna Katharina von Harling's upbringing.

Baron branch

The New Palace in Münchingen, built in 1735 by August Friedrich von Harling

A branch of the Bienenbüttel line had established itself in the Duchy of Württemberg before the middle of the 18th century , when the later major general of the Swabian district troops , August Friedrich von Harling , bought Wilhelm Ludwig from the guardians of his underage stepdaughter Christiana Friderica von Münchingen in 1733 Thumb von Neuburg and Wilhelm Friedrich Schertel von Burtenbach , acquired the castle and manor of Münchingen. As a result, the admission into the Swabian free imperial knighthood , canton Neckarschwarzwald , and the leadership of the baron title . August Friedrich von Harling was the founder of the baronial branch of Münchingen and was accepted into the Imperial Knighthood Swabian College on May 5th, 1740. He was first (1725) with Philippina Friderica Schertel von Burtenbach zu Mauren , then (1730) with Maria Regina, widow of Friedrich Christoph von Münchingen, born. von Berenfels , married. Next to the old castle , built in 1558 on the remains of the Münchinger castle, August Friedrich von Harling built a baroque plastered building in 1735 , the new castle of the barons of Harling.

August Friedrich's direct descendant was Baron Franz Carl von Harling , Major General of the Duke of Württemberg. His son, Baron Ernst Friedrich Ludwig von Harling (1773–1828), finally sold the Münchingen manor to the Waldhorn host Jakob Schmalzriedt from an old Münchingen family. He left a son, Baron Franz Alexander Friedrich von Harling (* 1814). The sale of the manor in Münchingen to the Waldhorn host Schmalzriedt and comrades was not completed until 1842. As a result of the fragmentation, however, the property lost the legal status of a manor. The sale of the Münchingen estate also resulted in the von Harling family being removed from the register of the knightly nobility of the Kingdom of Württemberg . King Karl of Württemberg appointed Franz Alexander Friedrich von Harling (* 1814) on 9 October 1866 Stuttgart to colonel , the German Emperor Wilhelm I gave him 1873 in his capacity as King of Prussia, the Iron Cross II. Class. From 1866 to 1871 he was commander of the Ludwigsburg Uhlan Regiment and died in 1873. In 1839 he had four daughters, among them the eldest Antoinette Freiin von Harling, who died in 1878 in Ludwigsburg .

Declaration on the defiled part of the family

The widespread non-aristocratic family of the Harling, who no longer have the nobility predicate "von" in their name, partly descend from the noble family of those of Harling. Since Otto von Harling's son was born out of wedlock in Eversen around 1590, the right to the title of nobility was usually withheld from him.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows two averted, gold-armored, red rooster heads and necks in silver. On the helmet with red-silver covers such a rooster head (also between an open silver flight or a growing red rooster with spread wings).

The oldest surviving coat of arms after Meding from 1476 shows only one cock's head on the shield and three on the bulged helmet. Meanwhile, the Harling seal on the Sülz foundation deed from 1502 shows two cock heads turned outwards . In 1560, on the epitaph in the St. Michael monastery in Lüneburg, the shield shows two cock heads turned inwards , and on the helmet a growing red rooster with outstretched wings. At the epitaph in Oldenburg from 1598 the cocks heads are turned outwards in the shield , on the crowned helmet the cock spreading its wings is growing.

In the genealogical and coat of arms book of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Braunschweig , a growing red rooster with spread wings is also used as a helmet ornament ; Sign holder with two red taps that stand against it, the whole thing over a banner with the motto veillant, vaillant .
