Kahlden is the name of an old, originally Rügen noble family , which later also came into possession and prestige in Prussia .

history

The family first appears in documents in the years 1250 to 1284 with the knight Jarezlaf de Kalende , with whom the continuous line of the family begins. The secured history of the von Kahlden family begins in the Principality of Rügen . The family split into a red tribe on Maltzien and a black tribe on Grabow as early as the 14th century . With Jarslav Kahlden, named in a document from 1520, son of the heir to Renz Erich Kahlende, formerly guardian in Garz , the family provided the governor of Rügen , the highest office of the nobility on Rügen, for the years 1536 to 1551 .

The ducal Pomeranian land rent master and heir to Savenitz, Henning von Kahlden (1614–1630) was the author of the Western Pomeranian Hufenmatrikel and thus made an important contribution to the state administration.

In 1794 the Mecklenburg indigenous rights were recognized for the family. With Major Gustav Theodor Hans von Kahlden (1789–1835), the von Kahlden appointed a court marshal of the Grand Ducal Mecklenburg .

The childless Prussian Major General Georg Balthasar von Normann (1721–1795) adopted his nephew Balthasar Ernst Alexander Ferdinand von Kahlden (1766–1821), who founded the von Kahlden-Normann and Kahlden von Normann families after he had been granted royal permission from 4 December 1789 combined its ancestral name and coat of arms with the name and coat of arms of those of Normann . Kahlden von Normann himself also became a Prussian major general and received the order Pour le Mérite in 1793 , but his family already went out with his granddaughters.

The von Kahlden had numerous sons as officers in imperial, Saxon, Württemberg, Danish and Swedish military services, but above all in the Prussian army . This soldier tradition continued into the recent past. Outstanding for the family is the Prussian Major General Henning Alexander von Kahlden (1713–1758) who died from his wounds received near Zorndorf . Lieutenant Colonel in the Army Hans-Heinrich von Kahlden (1874–1933), received the order Pour le Mérite on November 6, 1918. Alexander Friedrich Hermann Henning von Kahlden (1914–1945) was a lieutenant colonel and commander in the Parachute Panzer Division 1 Hermann Göring during the Second World War , Wolf von Kahlden (1901–1979) was a general staff officer of the Wehrmacht, later a brigadier general of the army .

For the years 1764 to 1840 had the of Kahlden the mindensche held Erbmarschallamt.

Dr. phil. Eberhard Anton Maria August Hubert von Kahlden (1866–1920), Secretary of the State Cultural Office in Dresden, was entered in the royal Saxon nobility book on July 27, 1906 under the number 251 .

Even if the following three members are named in the literature with the title Freiherr or Baron, a corresponding class survey cannot be proven.

The often postulated agnatic descent of those von Kahlden from the Mecklenburg family Kalende also Kahland or also Kahlden has not yet been proven with certainty. This family, which was still wealthy on Rey in 1628 , had a red climbing hook in the coat of arms on a blue field, on the helmet with blue-red blankets, a gold column with three peacock feathers, which was accompanied by the climbing hook on each side.

The von Kahle or von Kahlow family, who were wealthy in Silesia , had an identical coat of arms to that of Kahlden , but the agnatic connection is not clear here either. This sex should be with the bride Duke Heinrich the Faithful or already at the time of the rule of his father, Duke Heinrich III. to have come to the Duchy of Glogau .

The siblings Ursula (* 1907) and Kurt (* 1909) Gliszczyński do not belong to the family either , but with the authorization of the Prussian Ministry of Justice in Berlin in 1920 they were allowed to use the name von Kahlden .

The von Kahlden owned on Rügen : Buse, Dumsevitz, Duntz, Grabow, Karnitz, Kollhof, Kotelvitz, Kubitz, Maltzien, Neklade , Poppelvitz, Renz, Savenitz, Groß Schoritz , Klein Schoritz, Silchow, Silmitz, Tangmitz, Tegelhof, Uebechel, Unrow , Gr. u. Kl. Warksow, Zanow, Zicker and Zudar.

They also owned in Pomerania in the Franzburg-Barth district : Berendshagen, Daskow, Dittmannsdorf, Alten Willershagen, and Gottberg in the Pyritz district and Pustar in the later Kolberg-Körlin district

From 1749 the family started to own the Altmark : Arensberg, Bartelshof, Berge , Busch, Beverlack, Busch, Giesenschlage, Iden , Kannenberg, Hohenberg and Roebel.

Around 1800 the von Kahlden also owned the Mecklenburg estates of Bäbelitz and Gutendorf. Tangrim probably already before 1795, as on March 30, 1795 the twin daughters Wilhelmine and Caroline were entered by Hans Adam von Kahlden in the registered book of the Dobbertin monastery .

In 1850 they also owned Soykowo near Inowrazlaw and spread from there to Kurowice near Warsaw .
