Ilten (noble family)

Coat of arms of those of Ilten

The von Ilten family is a nobility from Lower Saxony.

Origin and history

The family derives its name from the Ilten parent company in the so-called Great Free near Hanover , where it appears for the first time in 1227 with the squire Jordan von Ilten . The von Ilten were temporarily castle men at Hallerburg Castle since the 14th century .

Gut Gestorf I.

They have been lords of the manor I in Gestorf near Hanover since at least the end of the 14th century . In 1456 the Guelph Duke Wilhelm von Calenberg-Göttingen transferred the lower jurisdiction over three saddle farms near the church in Gestorf and the Gut Klein-Gestorf to the squire Heinrich von Ilten . The family line begins with the knight Berthold von Ilten, who appeared in a document from 1351 to 1388.

A family burial founded in 1740 is said to have been marked by a stone in front of the altar of the garrison church in Hanover .

The Gestorf I manor is still owned by the family, but the manor house built in 1882 was sold in 1954.

The von Ilten together with the von Alten , von Jeinsen , von Heimburg , von Knigge , von Lenthe , von Münchhausen , von Reden , von Bennigsen , von Linsingen and von Rössing form the circle of the ancient families of the Principality of Calenberg.
