history

Mecklenburg

The research of the 19th century partly assumes that the Hobe came from Pomerania to Mecklenburg, but previously came from the Lower Rhine . A knight Hermannus dictus Hůbe scabinus appeared there in 1272 in Willich . The opposing position that the Hobe had moved from Mecklenburg to Pomerania early on was also represented.

According to recent research, the Hobe family with knight Johannes Hobe first appears in a document on May 20, 1278. In 1283 a knight fathered Hobe for the Kolbatz monastery , in 1284 a hobo for the city of Greifswald , Reimbertus Hobe acted as a documentary witness for the Verchen monastery in 1287 and his presumed brother knight Johannes Hobe testified for the city of Demmin in 1292 . The latter's son, Knappe Johannes Hobe, owned half of Cavelsdorf in 1324/25 in the Principality of Rügen . From the 14th century until 1524 his descendants had Beestland in the Vogtei Loitz as a fief , and from 1560 the neighboring Wolkow.

Wasdow Castle , Mecklenburg

In 1376 the squire Henningk Hobe was mentioned as a documentary witness. With Dietrich (Tiedeke) Hobe the Black († 1379), Lord of Wasdow , the secured line of trunks begins . The noble von Hobe family, which, in addition to Wasdow, also resided in the neighboring towns of Quitzenow , Groß - and Klein Methling , remained in possession of these estates until 1779.

In 1523, Barthold Hobe and Lütke Hoben signed the union of the estates in Mecklenburg for the family . Friedrich von Hobe was the Privy Councilor and Chamber President of Duke Gustav Adolf von Mecklenburg .

In Einschreibebuch the monastery Dobbertin are 17 items of daughters of the families of Hobe from Behrenshagen , Methling , Warbelow (today Gnoien ) Good Dorff, Goldebee and Jürgenstorf from the years 1725-1839 for inclusion in the local aristocratic convent . As a result of their fathers' military service, some Mecklenburg daughters were born in Merseburg, Eisleben and Neustadt an der Aisch. A coat of arms with the Order star and alliance coat of arms are on the nuns' gallery in the monastery church of the monastery Dobberttin . The tombstone of Prioress Melanie von Hobe is in the Dobbertin monastery cemetery .

Well Gelting in fishing
Good Düttebüll

On February 29, 1776, the royal Danish general of the infantry Lewin Ludwig von Hobe (1700–1781) received the Danish nobility naturalization . His grandson, the captain Levin Ludwig Christian Leopld of Hobe, son of the bailiff's Andreas August von Hobe and Adriana Sebranda of Wiedergeltingen whose father ennobled merchant Sönke Ingwersen , Baron von Wiedergeltingen (1715-1786), the Gut Gelting in Fishing 1758 had acquired, was adopted by his childless uncle Christian Friedrich Rudolph Baron von Gelting. With a royal resolution of October 19, 1821 and diploma of May 14, 1828, linked to the possession of the barony of Gelting , he was elevated to the status of Danish baron under the name of Hobe von Gelting . In 1812 he converted to the Catholic faith. The baron status was confirmed to his son Siegfried (1816–77) in Prussia by a rescript of the heraldry on October 30, 1875. The Gut Gelting inherited the son Bertram (1849–1911), papal secret chamberlain and magistral knight of the sovereign Order of Knights of Malta. He also acquired two noble estates, Düttebüll , which was initially given to the eldest son Siegfried, and Ohrfeld, which the second son Bertram († 1961) received. Gut Gelting is managed today by Siegfried Freiherrn von Hobe-Gelting, Gut Düttebüll by Benedikt von Hobe.

The family also provided numerous officers in the Prussian army . The Hussar Regiment (No. 3) was headed by Karl von Hobe as commander in 1811/13. In the wars of liberation , another son of the family was able to distinguish himself in addition to August Johann von Hobe (1813) (1814) and receive the order Pour le Mérite . Four sons of the family made it to the position of lieutenant general .

Johann Caspar Melchior Balthasar Herbert Hubertus Siegfried von Hobe (1915-2001), as the adopted son of his uncle Joseph Monforts, was named Monforts von Hobe since October 1, 1941, as the merchant, farmer and forester as well as Knight of Honor and Knight of Devotion of the sovereign Order of Malta . The line thus donated also currently exists and is based on Gut Depenau in Holstein. (There is no connection with the extinct south German counts of Montfort .)

Thorn Castle

Through the marriage of Bertram von Hobe-Gelting with Marita Baronesse von Hoiningen-Huene (* 1923), the inheritance from her mother Marie-Amélie de Musil, the Schloss Thorn winery near the Luxembourg border, came into his possession and is owned by her son to cultivated today, whereby this branch became a member of the Rhenish knighthood .
