history

The Haseldorf were a knightly noble family from Holstein and appeared several times in documents from the Schauenburg sovereigns. The first mention was on July 25th 1143, when Adico appears in a document from Archbishop Alberto of Hamburg. They were the first to build a castle in Haseldorf / Holstein (see today's Haseldorf manor house ), which was destroyed again around 1259. In the 13th century they were among the servants in the Archbishopric of Bremen , which also included the Haseldorfer Marsch , and were held in high regard and special privileges. They made foundations in Holm and left the possessions exchanged by the von Wedel men to the cathedral capital in Hamburg.

The Knights of Haseldorf took over later in Haselau the castle of the Knights of Haselau . In 1257, the knights of Barmstede acquired the castle and other goods from Friedrich von Haseldorf and had them leaned against them by Bremen's Prince Archbishop Gerhard II . This castle was abandoned at the beginning of the 15th century and later replaced by a manor house, which was demolished in the 19th century due to its dilapidation. Later the knights of Haseldorf probably moved their residence to Uetersen . The family probably died there in the 13th century. In addition, they took part as knights in the " Livonia journeys " carried out by the Bremen Church . In 1200 they went to Latvia in ships under the direction of Albert von Buxthoeven and witnessed the founding of Riga in 1201.
