history

The " Holtzbrinck Castle " in Altena

The ancestors of the aristocratic family were Gerhard Holtzbrinck (1604–1635 judge in Halver ) and his son Georg (approx. 1610–1664, rent master and free count in Altena ). His marriage to Elisabeth Johanette von Diest was associated with a rise in the upper class of the county of Mark . In 1643 he bought a town house in Altena, the "Burg" Holtzbrinck .

The noble family was founded on December 17, 1694 by the elevation of the General Crown Postmaster in Poland Georg Hermann Holtzbrinck (son of Georg Holtzbrinck) to the hereditary imperial nobility by Emperor Leopold I. This Georg Hermann "Knight and Noble von Holtzbrinck" himself was childless and died in 1742. His nephew, son of his sister Anna Margarethe van Lent b. Holtzbrinck (1665–1754) and the professor of theology Johannes van Lent (1654–1694), Georg Wilhelm van Lent (1694–1762), inherited the name von Holtzbrinck in 1742 and continued the family as "von Lent called Holtzbrinck" . Due to an inheritance dispute, however, he lost his uncle's possessions in Saxony and Poland. The ones in the county of Mark remained. His sons Heinrich Wilhelm and Ludwig received a royal Prussian nobility confirmation by the highest cabinet order of June 7th, diploma in Berlin June 25th 1767 as "von Holtzbrinck".
