history

The family first appeared in a document in 1237 with Daniel von Brunn . Hennig, Tyle, Heynecke and Wyneckebroder called Nitzenplitz are enfeoffed on September 28, 1365 with the Schulzenhof, the Brede, the court and three farms in Rademin .

By the middle of the 14th century, the family appeared in two separate tribes . The tribe of greaves received the Prussian count status on July 6, 1798 . The Jerchel tribe received the Prussian count status on March 23, 1815.

Grieben Castle around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

• The original coat of arms shows a silver diagonal right bar covered with three black bear heads in red. On the helmet with red and silver blankets, a bush of alternating red and silver rooster feathers. Otto Titan von Hefner writes in Siebmacher's coat of arms book of 1857: "Due to ignorance of the heraldic principles or simply because of a misunderstanding of the colors, the silver sloping bar was later (as early as Siebmacher III. 140) painted blue and it is wrongly done now."
• The later coat of arms of the Itzenplitz shows a blue diagonal right-hand bar in red, which is covered with three gold-banded and ringed black bear heads. On the helmet with the blue and red blankets a growing black bear, which is holding three natural peacock feathers in its right paw.
• The Count's tribe Greaves have the same coat of arms with a golden shield border.
• The Earl's tribe Jerchel has a split coat of arms, on the right is the gold-rimmed coat of arms, on the left is a silver pole cross in red between an open, curved silver kettle ring. Above two helmets: on the right that of the family coat of arms, on the left with a red-silver blanket a leg bent at the knee with a splinted leg with a bleeding cut.

From Theodor Fontane's " Walks through the Mark Brandenburg " the following verse is passed down, which alludes to the bad reputation of the Itzenplitze:

Before Köckeritz and Lüderitz

Before Krachten and Before Itzenplitz

Keep us, dear Lord .
