history
The lords of Isengarten zu Isengarten have been documented since 1261. They are not the same as the later Isengarten quad bikes. The von Isengarten family had three 2: 1 split golden roses in a black shield with a black brackish head covered with two roses as a crest . According to Leopold von Ledebur, they were included in the circle of the noblemen of Wildenberg. What is meant are the Lords of Wildenburg with the same coat of arms. In 1436 Eberhard von Isengarten is enfeoffed with the possession of the Isengarten house and farm by Count Peter Diederich von Sayn-Sayn , and in 1468 Wilhelm von Isengarten by Count Gerhard II von Sayn-Sayn .
The noble family Quad and Quadt from the area of the Duchies of Jülich and Berg can be traced back to the 13th century at the latest and branched out into several lines. At the beginning of the 15th century, knight Wilhelm Quad zu Isengarten, Voorst and Eller left six sons, three of whom continued the lines. Son Lutter Quad , Lord of Hardenberg, 1436 Burgmann to Limburg and kurkölnischer Erbkämmerer wins by his second wife Elizabeth of Neuenare-SAFFENBERG Landskron and other properties, the childless deceased brother Eberhard, the Cologne feudal house bushveld and donated the line quad-Landskron, which shared by his sons Gerhard (Landskron line) and Adolph (Isengarten line). Adolph Quad zu Isengarten was married to the heir daughter of Isengarten zu Isengarten and took over the inheritance . This brought the quad from Isengarten to the moated castle in the border area between Bergisches Territory and Sayner Grafschaft . In 1480 Adolf Quad († 1509) was then Isengarten invested , in 1521, his son Wilhelm Quad († 1545) and in 1589 Henry Quad († 1617). The coat of arms of the Quadts can still be seen on the tombstone of Adolf Quad at the Protestant church in Waldbröl.
The main coat of arms of the Quadt shows two silver alternating battlements in red . On the helmet is a growing silver bear with red wings that are covered with the alternating battlements of the shield. The helmet cover is red-silver.
In 1617 Johann Quad von Isengarten zu Bellinghausen , who fled to Cologne in 1616 after a dispute with his sovereign, tried to get back the old ancestral castle Isengarten instead of his Bellinghausen property.
The castle was completely destroyed in the Thirty Years War . The castle grounds were later leveled. Only fragments should still be visible to a small extent.
Today the area is protected as a ground monument.
