Husen (noble family)

The Lords of Husen are a documented aristocratic family in the 12th century who, if one follows the family chronicle of those of Berlichingen, is also related to the Lords of Berlichingen .

A Hans von Berlichingen, Vogt zu Widdern, called von Husen, is documented in a document from Count Boppo von Eberstein from 1361. In some old documents the gender or place name Urhusen appears, which can possibly be interpreted as a variant of Olnhausen / husen. The prefix Oln could correspond to the current prefix Alt , i.e. the lords of Althausen would be designated.

A Sigemar von Ollanhusen is said to have donated all of his property to Lorsch Abbey in 781 . In the 12th century, the Lords of Husen were enfeoffed with the village of Olnhausen . They also probably founded Jagsthausen Castle, or at least owned it, which, however, went to the Lords of Berlichingen in the 14th century. Shortly afterwards, the sources on the Lords of Husen fall silent.

Later the von Husen men were associated with the various von Hausen families (there was such a family in Thuringia, from which the von Münchhausen family later emerged, but also independently in Lower Saxony the von Hauss and others), but none appear Similarities can be proven.

Individual evidence

↑ The legend of the origin of the Münchhausen family from a Hausen family comes from the Stadthagen monk Degenhard (cf. Letzner ), who dedicated it to the Hildesheim bishop Henning in 1488/89 , referring to the marriage of v. his aunt Ermgard with a Münchhausen (grandparents of Berthold v. Landesberg ). Degenhard wanted both families to have one in the 13th century. the living knight Heinrich (Heino) de Domo (Deich, Werner: Das Goslarer Reichsvogteigeld, Lübeck 1974, p. 125) - the name Heino was often among the Münchhausen families - although such a man was never a monk in Lockum (as the legend claims, See gender history by Gottlieb Samuel Treuer ). The whole thing does not refer to the Thuringian v. Hausen (on these: Strauss, Sobotka, Burgen, Schlösser, Gutshäuser in Thüringen, Stuttgart, 1995, p. 159) - the mistake is due to the mixing of all "Hausens" in Gauhe's Adelslexikon u. Rudolphi's Gotha Diplomatica back. The family v. House from Lower Saxony, which is also clear in the first public lecture [Schlüsselburg, Konrad: A Christian Declaration ..., Rostock 1589, p. 70 ff. (GWLB Hannover)] of the legend by Konrad Schlüsselburg 1588. This took place at the wedding of Klaus v. Münchhausen (noble family) on Apelern , Meinsen and Nienfeld with Ursula v. Quitzow in the presence of Claus v. House (Lower Saxon noble family) from Eimbeckhausen - this is how Johann Georg Leuckfeld speaks clearly of those “v. Chr.” In his Antiquitates Michaelsteinenses et Amelunxbornenses , p. Husen ”who are said to have been involved in the founding of the Wennigsen monastery (cf. also: Bei der Wieden, Aussenwelt und Anschauungen Ludolf von Münchhausen, 1993).
