Horn (noble family, Ranzin)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of those von Horn on Ranzin

Horn is the name of an old noble family from West Pomerania that still exists today in a Swedish line called Horn af Rantzien .

It is not to be confused with the prehistoric noble family von Horn, also extinct in the 17th century, with a boar's head in their coat of arms, who lived south of the Peene on Tutow, Müssentin (near Jarmen) and Zemmin.

history

The first officially named representative of the family is the knight Michael Horn ; † December 14, 1315, (tomb in the church at Ranzin), with which the unbroken line of trunks begins. Since then, at the latest, the family has been resident on their Ranzin estate , which remained in the family's possession until 1845 (today's manor house was only built afterwards), and later on the ancillary estate in Schlatkow . The gender was also found in the Mark Brandenburg .

The von Horn family took their retirement home in Gützkow, where they owned a house. The brothers Franz, Friedrich and Gustav von Horn were sworn in as citizens of the city between 1844 and 1862. Gustav von Horn was co-founder and captain of the Schützen-Compagnie founded in 1858.

One line of the family still exists in Sweden today under the name Horn af Rantzien . These established Henning Rudolf Horn (1651-1730), who was raised to Swedish count in 1719, and his brother Carl Gustav, who became a baron in 1719. The counts expired in 1892, the barons in 1775. A still existing branch was accepted into knight class 1 of the Swedish knight house in 1797 .

Other families from Horn

The Swedish line should not be confused with two aristocratic families named Horn, who also came to Sweden: an originally Finnish nobility family similar to a coat of arms and an originally Bremen mail aristocratic family, which at times also came to Western Pomerania.

In Western Pomerania there was another ancient noble family of the same name until the 17th century, but with a boar's head in the coat of arms, which was located south of the Peene on Tutow, Müssenthin (Müssentin near Jarmen) and Zemmin and was already in the 16th century to distinguish them Called "von" Horn .

There was also no relationship with the well-known Dutch Count and Princely House of Horn .

  3. ↑ In Sweden there was still the original Finnish aristocratic family Horn (Finnish-Swedish noble family) , also known as the Hornatten , who also had a black horn on a golden background, but without a cord, in their coat of arms. A descent from the Ranziner sex cannot be proven; the Finnish family first appeared with Olof Mattsson, 1381-1415 lord on Åminne near Halikko in Finland. The latter gender included the Horn af Kanckas (near Masku , Finland), Horn af Björneborg (a crown estate in Finland), Horn af Marienborg (Livonia) and Horn af Ekebyholm (near Norrtälje , Sweden); see Hornatten (Swedish article); The famous Swedish field marshal in the Thirty Years' War, Count Gustaf Horn, came from this family . Furthermore, there is the letter noble family Horn (Swedish letter noble family) , which by the Bremen merchant and patrician family vam Horne derived, (1644 †) emigrated from the Paridon van Hoorn on Holland to Sweden, see Horn (Swedish article). It was accepted into the Swedish knight's house for Pomerania in 1806 .
