history

origin

The family comes from Hönningen an der Ahr in the Rhineland. It appears for the first time in a document (in the case of a donation of land) in 1176 with Erenbold de Hoingen, then 1365–1383 with Johann von Hoingen, Schöffe zu Ahrweiler, and later (April 4, 1447) with Henricus von Hoyngen as Schöffe zu Bonn. From there, members of the family (according to family tradition according to Jobst von Hoyngen called Hune, d. 1480, married to Anna von Dumpian) are said to have come to Kurland in the Teutonic Order .

The family line begins with Johann von Hoynge (n) called Hu (e) ne (son of Jobst von Hoyngen called Hune) on September 19, 1500. He was enfeoffed by the order master Wolter von Plettenberg with lands on the Sessau and on the Aa.

The spelling of the name varies a lot. The oldest known form was Hoingen, then Hoyngen called Hune . Other versions were Hüenegen called Hüene, Huningen, Huenigen, Hühnchen, Huegenen, Hueningen, Hoinigen, Hune, Hoyne, Höen, Huyne, Huyn, Hühne, Hüne, Huene and Hühn . In Hesse the spelling was consistently from Huyn, the Prussian branch was spelled Hoiningen called Huene . Today most of the family members call themselves Freiherr or Freifrau (Freiin) v. Hoyningen-Huene or Hoyningen called Huene . Family members who emigrated to the USA and Canada usually dropped the first part of the name Hoyningen .

At various times, some members of the tribe returned to Germany from Kurland. A branch came to Fürstenau in the Prince Diocese of Osnabrück and from there to Kurhessen . The Hoyningen in Niederbeisheim near Homberg settled there under the name of Huyn. With the death of the two brothers Johann Christoph, he fell as a Hessian general in New York in 1780 during the American War of Independence , and Wilhelm Carl, died in 1795 in Niederbeisheim as a Hessian lieutenant general and commander of the body dragon regiment, this Hessian branch became extinct.
