Himel tho weight
Ihmel tho Wichte , also written Imel to Wicht (* 2nd half of the 14th century in Lintel near Norden ; † 1st half of the 15th century in Wichte ), is considered the ancestor of the East Frisian noble family von Wicht .
Life
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.
