D'Orville (family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family coat of arms of the d'Orville

The d'Orville family was of Calvinist belief and originally came from the village of Orville near Valenciennes ( Pas de Calais ). Around 1560 the city became a center of Calvinism and the first resistance to Spanish rule. But the Counter Reformation soon sets in . In the 16th century, this family became fugitives and emigrated to Antwerp and then to today's Germany.

history

The lineage of the family begins with Philippe d'Orville († 1552), a merchant in Valenciennes . Robert d'Orville came to Frankfurt am Main in 1572 as a cloth and cotton dealer . Daniel d'Orville came to the Lutheran Frankfurt in 1637 via Frankenthal , a Calvinist / Reformed center. In 1648 he was followed by his nephew Peter d'Orville (1618–1699), who married Elisabeth de Famars (1622–1693). The de Famars family were also of the Calvinist-Reformation faith and came from Valenciennes (Pas de Calais). One of their children was Peter Friedrich d'Orville (born February 20, 1662 in Frankfurt am Main; † June 11, 1739 in Frankfurt am Main), whose marriage to Susanna Judith Buirette von Oehlefeld (also d'Ahlfelden) (1670–1730) Isaak d'Orville, later Baron d'Orville von Löwenclau, also came from. Peter Friedrich and his descendants are detailed below.

Peter Friedrich d'Orville (1662–1739)

Schönhof in Frankfurt-Bockenheim

Peter Friedrich d'Orville (born February 20, 1662 in Frankfurt am Main ; † June 11, 1739 there ) was a doctor and landowner in Frankfurt am Main. As a member of the d'Orville family, he was very wealthy and belonged to the upper class of the Lutheran city of Frankfurt am Main. He was the owner of the Schönhof estate in Bockenheim near Frankfurt. Here the exercise of his Calvinist-Reformation faith with other people who had fled the faith was permitted and possible. He married on June 15, 1690 in Frankfurt am Main Susanna Judith Buirette von Oehlefeld (also d'Ahlfelden) (* March 23, 1670; † March 2, 1730) from Nuremberg . Her family also came from Calvinist religious refugees from Valenciennes (Pas de Calais).

Isaak d'Orville von Löwenclau

Isaak d'Orville (later also Isaak Freiherr d'Orville Edler von Löwenclau and Herr zu Schönhoffen ; * August 7, 1699 , † December 17, 1763 ) was a son of Peter Friedrich d'Orville and a wealthy Frankfurt citizen. He married Maria Magdalena Cornet. In 1739 he inherited the Schönhof estate in Bockenheim from his father, Peter Friedrich d'Orville .

Wiednitz coat of arms

In 1743 he was raised to the nobility by the four years (1742–45) resident of the German Emperor Charles VII in Frankfurt . The emperor constantly needed new financial resources, which is one of the reasons why he was very generous in awarding nobility titles in his short reign. The title of nobility "Edler von Löwenclau and Herr zu Schönhoffen", awarded to Isaak d'Orville and his family, points to the family's strong ties to the Calvinist-Reformation faith, which is not only based on their historical origins in Valenciennes. The coat of arms of the Freiherren von Löwenclau has been preserved as the so-called Wiednitz coat of arms "jumping lion with outstretched claws". This is thanks to the manor owner Peter Friedrich d'Orville. Gut Schönhof was sold in 1765 to Samuel Bruère (1769–1791), Hesse-Kassel captain and wine merchant in St. Goar .
