Hechthausen (noble family)
Hechthausen is the name of an old, now extinct, Pomeranian noble family .
history
The family originated in Hechthausen in the Elbe-Weser triangle , where the family was first mentioned in a document in 1233. In 1247 Gerhardus von Hekethusen was named as a witness for the Archbishop of Bremen , in 1350 Heyno Hekethusen as the accountant of the Hamburg treasury and in 1369 Engelberto von Hekethusen .
The family must have immigrated to Pomerania, to the country around Belgard , as early as the end of the 13th century , because Hinricus Hekethusen was mentioned among the witnesses of Pribislaw von Wenden as early as 1289 . The family is related to the von Versen and von Münchow family .
In 1389 Hans Hechhusen was named the owner of the town of Bärwalde together with Reimer Pudwelsch . In 1440 the Hekethusen were named among the tormentors of Schivelbein . With Henning Hechthusen, who in 1456 pledged Bevenhusen Castle for 1,000 marks from the Bishop of Cammin , and his brother Hans began the family's secure line of tribe.
The family was above all wealthy around Belgard, where the von Hechthausen owned Zarnefanz , Grüssow , Naffin and Zwirnitz .
In 1605, Johann von Hechthausen († 1610) was the head of the monastery at Marienfließ Abbey and thus directly involved in the spectacular trial against Sidonia von Borcke . In 1628 Claus and Carsten von Hechthausen on Zarnefanz and Hans von Hechthausen on Naffin were named under the knighthood. In 1685 the family provided a Pomeranian district administrator. A little later, however, the von Hechthausen must have expired, because in 1717 the fiefs of the family were assigned to the Königsberg chamber president Christian Ernst von Münchow .
coat of arms
The family coat of arms shows in a blue shield a winged and crowned golden pike, flying diagonally upwards, holding a golden ring in its mouth. On the helmet with blue and gold covers, three golden lilies in bloom on leafy green stems.
