Life

Wichte and Osterwichte on the map of East Friesland by Ubbo Emmius (approx. 1600)

The sources are silent about the exact origin of Himel. All that is known is that he came from a northern chief family who had their castle seat in Lintel and was associated with the Theelachtgenossenschaft . This is also indicated by the double name to Wicht and to Lintel , which can be found, for example, in the East Frisian historian Enno Johann Heinrich Tjaden .

The noble shareholders of the aforementioned cooperative owned so-called Uthöfe on the southern edge of the former Hilgenried Bay . The aim was to use these Uthöfe to make better use of the northern Theellande , which is still in the march of the former. In the course of the East Frisian chieftainship (14th century), the prehistoric Uthöfe became castle-like noble houses. At least two of these outstations, built by Norder Theelachtern, were in the area of ​​the Wichte and Blandorf districts . These were the Wichte house (identical to the Poggenburg, later attested by name ?) And Blandorf Castle . The Osterwichte (= Ost-Wichte ) castle complex, attested to in the 14th century and which became Ihmel's ancestral seat around 1400, is now believed to be in the Westerende district east of Blandorf-Wichte . With his change of residence he was given the nickname to Wicht , from which the nobility name of Wicht became in the 17th century .

His wife is unknown. There is only evidence that at least one son emerged from a marriage of the Osterwicht lord of the castle. His great-grandson Hayo Hiccen to Wicht (e) and Lintel was married to Adda Aldersna von Lintel and served as Drost for the East Frisian Count Edzard I.
