An Albert von Hörde was a ministerial officer under Otto IV. Albert II participated in the Fifth Crusade in the siege of Damiette in 1218 . Another representative of the family named Albert (1227–1260) was the leading ministerial officer of the Archbishop of Cologne. The family later entered the service of the Counts of Isenberg-Hohenlimburg . In 1271 the Krumme Grafschaft was acquired as a Limburg fief. In the same year an Albert von Hörde is referred to as a nobleman (Nobilis). In 1297, Hörde Castle became the property of the Counts of the Mark .

In the 13th century the family also owned the estates Störmede , Schüren and Mönninghausen . In the 14th century the property also included Boke , Böckenförde , Eichlinghofen and Wellinghofen . In 1350 Johann von Hoerde was a judge in Eichlinghoven. Other goods were added later. The gender represented many canonesses in the Geseke women's monastery . The family also owned property in East Prussia. Parts of the family later lived in the monasteries Hildesheim , Paderborn and Münster , where they lived until 1405. B. were enfeoffed with Hülshoff Castle .

The Hoerde line at Störmede Castle was divided into the Altes Haus and Hohes Haus lines in the 14th century. The ownership of the Altes Haus line fell to the Korff zu Harkotten family in 1652 ; the high house came to the von Bocholtz family in the 16th century . In addition, the Middle House of the von Hoerde existed for a while from 1529. In the 15th century the Hoerde zu Störmede came into the possession of Eringerfeld Castle . After a fire in 1660 destroyed parts of the old castle, the canons Johann Gottfried and Rhabanus Christoph von Hörde ordered the new construction as a baroque castle in 1676.

Alhard von Hörde acquired part of the "Wambeke" farm near Bökenförde in 1510 , the second part came into the possession of the family in 1584, so that a new branch of the family from Hörde zu Wambeke was created. From then on they called their property "Black Raven". Between 1748 and 1765, the baroque Schwarzenraben Castle was built under Landdrost and Privy Councilor Ferdinand Friedrich Freiherr von Hörde (1710–1780) . The Schwarzenraben line went out in 1848 with Engelbert Matthias von Hoerde in the male line , through his widow Eringerfeld and Schwarzenraben fell to the ceiling and later Ketteler families .

House Erwitte came to the Hoerdes through the Droste to Erwitte and was donated to the church in 1860. House Milse came into the family's possession in 1743, but the Electoral Palatinate Chamberlain Ludwig Philipp von Hoerde gambled it away in one night in the Bad Pyrmont casino, in 1771 he was incapacitated. The line still exists today.

Until the 19th century, the family still held the estates Störmede , Schwarzenraben , Eringerfeld and Erwitte .
