Holleben (noble family)
Holleben is the name of an old Saxon - Thuringian noble family . The Holleben headquarters , which gave it its name, is now part of the municipality of Teutschenthal in the Saale district . The family name changed between Hunfolk, Hunleve, Honleve, Hulleve, Hulleiben, Hulleben and Holleben.
history
The family first appears in a document in 1185 with Theodoricus de Hunleue . Heinrich von Hunleve in 1240 and Wittekind von Holleuben the Younger in 1244 appear as other members of the family that have been documented . Heinrich von Hunleve appears in a document in 1255 as Ministerialer of the Margraves of Meißen zu Schafstedt. The uninterrupted line of trunks only begins with Magnus von Holleben in the middle of the 15th century.
He settled in the Grafschaft Schwarzburg in 1447 after the sale of his Wettin fiefdom . There Magnus acquired the Wildenspring manor where his line could last for a long time. From the sons of his descendant in the 7th generation, Ernst Ludwig von Holleben zu Wildenspring († 1737), three main lines emerged. The line of the oldest, the Bayreuth Colonel Ludwig Johann Ernst von Holleben , was later also in East Prussia with Rathswalde in the district of Labiau (today Russian Polessk ). The second line, founded by the Schwarzburg master hunter Anton von Holleben auf Wildenspring , was owned by the Wildenspring condominium and other goods and in some cases also carried the name of Holleben called von Normann . The Schwarzburg minister Johann Wilhelm Ludwig von Holleben on Burglemnitz founded the third branch. A number of important civil servants and generals have emerged from the last two lines in particular.
