history

The Jagow family, possibly a branch of the Uchtenhagen , first appeared in a document in 1268 with Arnoldus de Jagow , with whom the family line began . The family was named after their headquarters Jagow , a current district of Uckerland in the Uckermark , where it was mentioned in 1250. It was located in the Altmark , in Pomerania , in Magdeburg and Lüneburg and in other parts of Germany. The Jagow were Erbjägermeister (also Erb-Jägermeister ) of the Kurmark Brandenburg since September 3, 1798, renewed on October 15, 1840. Hereditary hunters were Friedrich Wilhelm Thomas Achatz von Jagow (1779–1854), his son Karl von Jagow (1818–1888) and again his son Günther von Jagow (1847–1928) ).

One of the possessions was the Scharpenhufe estate in Aland (Altmark) , which was bought back by the family after German reunification, who ran a 600 hectare farm there. Calberwisch belonged to the family from 1524 until the expropriation in 1945, furthermore from 1606 to 1919 Krüden , from 1780 until the expropriation in 1945 Rühstädt . In addition, Gut Dallmin near Karstädt and Gut Quitzöbel (today Legde / Quitzöbel ).
