Harten (noble family)

Coat of arms of those von Harten

Harten is the name of a German-Baltic aristocratic family whose origins are said to be in Oldenburg . In Oldenburg there is even the legend that the von Harten family descended from an Oldenburg count or his illegitimate son. The progenitor is Magnus Georg Harten (1713–1786), who settled on the Estonian island of Ösel . Eduard Moritz von Harten (1829-1894) and his brother Hermann Rudolf von Harten (1842-1917) were entered in the nobility registers of the Ösel knighthood in 1866 and 1909 .

history

Magnus Georg Harten, probably from Oldenburg, first immigrated to Riga and from 1757 became archivist of the Swedish General Government Archives. His son Georg Friedrich Harten, born in Riga in 1758, became pastor of Mustel and later consistorial assistant. His son Hermann Johann Friedrich Harten (1794–1841) was pastor of Karmel and later superintendent . In 1840 he was awarded the Russian Order of Stanislaus and accepted into the Russian service aristocracy. The coat of arms he designed, which showed three silver stars in blue in the divided shield above (1: 2 set), was later not used by the family, but was transferred to the three silver spheres (1: 2 set) on a blue background.

His sons Eduard Moritz von Harten (1829-1894) and Hermann Rudolph von Harten (1842-1917) were doctors. The recognition of the Russian hereditary nobility took place in 1864 for Eduard Moritz von Harten, who was included in the nobility register of the Ösel knighthood in 1866. Hermann Rudolph von Harten was also enrolled in the Öselsche Knighthood in 1909.
