history

Hessian bourgeois family

On the occasion of the ennoblement in Congress Poland in 1826 and the elevation to the rank of count of the Russian Empire , genealogists willing to serve devised an illustrious family tree of the Hauke ​​family, which should go back to the Dutch nobility called "van der Haacken". In fact, however, the Hauke ​​family was a middle-class family from Wetzlar , which only gained some importance at the end of the 17th and beginning of the 18th century.

The first historically significant ancestor of the German-Polish-Russian-Swedish ancestral line of Hauke ​​was Johann Gaspar Hauck , pedell at the Imperial Court of Justice in Wetzlar, who died in 1722 and had ten children with his wife Anna Barbara of unknown family name († 1722). The eldest son of these couple, Johann Valentin, also became a pedellist at the Wetzlar court, the second son, Ignatz Marianus Hauck (* 1705 in Wetzlar, † 1784 in Mainz ), became secretary of the Electoral Mainz government. Ignatz married Maria Franziska Riedesel (* 1718, † 1785), an illegitimate but later legitimized daughter of Baron Georg Riedesel zu Eisenbach from the Hessian nobility, and had nine children with her. Three of the couple's sons stood out: the eldest, Johann Friedrich Michael (* 1737 in Mainz, † 1810 in Warsaw ) became secretary to the powerful Count Alois Friedrich von Brühl ( Starost of Warsaw and General of the Royal Polish Artillery ) and later a professor at the renowned Royal Prussian Lyceum in Warsaw . Ignatz's second son, Petrus Anton (* 1742 in Mainz, † 1780 ibid), became canon in Mainz, and the third, Augustus Johannes Nepomuk (* 1748 in Mainz, † 1822 in Aschaffenburg ), was like his father the secretary of the Electorate of Mainz Government.

German-Polish bourgeois family and nobility uprising

In 1782 Johann Friedrich Michael changed his first name to Friedrich Karl Emanuel ( Polish: Fryderyk Karol Emanuel ) and the family name to "Hauke". With his wife Salomea, geb. Schweppenhäuser (* 1751 in Rechtenbach near Weißenburg in Alsace (according to other sources in Sessenheim ), † 1833 in Warsaw, Protestant ) he had four sons and three daughters. According to the custom of confessional mixed marriages at the time , the daughters became Protestant and lie with their mother in the Warsaw Evangelical Cemetery; Friedrich Karl and his Catholic descendants were buried in the traditional Catholic Powązki cemetery in Warsaw, where the family has an impressive hereditary burial .

Three sons of Professor Hauke ​​and Salomea, Moritz (Maurycy) , General , Ludwig August (* 1779 in Seifersdorf near Dresden , † 1851 in Warsaw), General Director of Mining in the Kingdom of Poland, and Joseph Heinrich (* 1790 in Warsaw, † 1837 in Saint Petersburg ), Russian general, received the hereditary nobility of the Kingdom of Poland from the Emperor and King Nicholas I in 1826 and a coat of arms showing a grappling hook ("Bosak"), an allusion to the name Hauke ​​= hook. Josef Hauke ​​(1834–1871), who had advanced to become general, then used the pseudonym “General Bosak” at times. Hans Moritz in 1829 and Joseph Heinrich in 1830 were made Russian counts . Both lines became extinct on the sword side after 1945 at the latest. Alexander Hauke ​​(1814–1868), son of Ludwig Alexander, achieved the Austrian recognition of count status in 1860. The members of the family (male line) still alive today descend from this.

Hessian prince title

Through the marriage of her descendant, Countess Julia Hauke , who was also called Julie von Hauke ​​in Darmstadt, with Prince Alexander of Hesse-Darmstadt , the Hauke's ancestors became members of the royal houses of Great Britain ( Philip Mountbatten, Duke of Edinburgh ), Spain ( Victoria Eugénie von Battenberg ) and Sweden ( Louise Mountbatten ), as well as the Prince of Bulgaria Alexander von Battenberg .

Trivia

Currently there are only seven descendants of the family left who come from the line of Ludwig. The family produced six knights of the Virtuti Militari order and five generals (Hans Moritz † 1830, Joseph † 1837, Alexander † 1868, Joseph † 1871 and Karol † 1940).
