Ladle

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The noble family Kellech comes from the Scherinburg on the Hainleite in the North Sea Germanic settlement area of Thuringia , like their relatives who also bear the scissors coat of arms , the Erbtruchsesse von Schlotheim , hereditary marshals of Eckartsberga , von Ebersberg , von Schernberg , von Nordhausen , von Giech , von Eisenhofen and von Zangberg . The name, which comes from their allod in Kölleda, varies from Cölleda, Collede, Kullede, Cölln, Collich to the Kellech mentioned in Siebmacher's coat of arms.

history

prehistory

The first reports of Kölleda come from the early Middle Ages and, if the people named there really are the prehistoric ancestors of those v. Kölleda, these records allow the social position of this sex to be revised: They originally did not belong to the Beichling vassals, but to the free imperial knights like the Truchsesse v. Schlotheim.

The knights Wolfwin, Volchold and Cunemund, who were notarized in connection with Kölleda in the years 776 and 787, belong to the names of the Anglic-Saxon tribe and not the Upper German Franconian. The name CUNEMUND, the lead name of the scissors clan, also indicates that it belongs to this extended family. The news from the year 796 definitely describes VOLCWIN as one who owns Kölleda. He belongs to the upper class of the nobility because he is the brother-in-law of Count BILLING.

In a Hersfeld document from the year 802 those counts are named who transfer their shares in the church of Cölleda to the monastery of Hersfeld . The last named is an ASULF who, although not a count, is a shareholder and, as Wenskus points out, is an Anglic or Saxon Edelingh by name. In the then Franconian rule, only the Franconian rulers of a district carried the title of count.

The next notarized “de COLLEDE” was a cleric. His name was also VOLCHOLD and in 961 he became the teacher and chaplain of Emperor Otto II due to his great scientific knowledge . He was later (972–992) bishop in Quedlinburg.

In a document from 1130 one encounters the name Volchold again. He was slain and his son Cunemund took care of the father's salvation with the donation of 4 Hufen to Hasungen Monastery . This donation can also be found in Dobecker [I, 1232], but without a surname. In the “History of the City of Kölleda” by Karl Michael, Volchold is appended with the surname “von Schernberg zu Wallendorf”. With this Volchold (= Volkerhalter) the proper stem line of the sex begins, but with many question marks.

The 14 generations of the 3 lines

The Kölleda property was large, wedged between the "cousin" estates, in the west by the Truchsessen von Schlotheim and those of Nordhausen, in the east by the marshals von Eckartsberga. The property included the town of Kölleda , Olbersleben , Orlishausen , Frondorf, Großneuhausen , Kleinneuhausen , Griefstedt , Neumark, Burglehn Nebra , Frömmstedt , Stödten, the deserted Wallendorf and the village they founded, which they named Scherndorf in memory of their original home. A castle is said to have stood on the hill north of Scherndorf. At times the v. Kölleda shared some of the Beichlingen fiefdoms with the landgrave marshals, such as Oldisleben, Guthmannshausen, Frankenhausen and Brücken. Of these feudal estates, Olbersleben, Großneuhausen and Kölleda were the headquarters of the three lines.

In 1189 Cunemund I died in old age. He bequeathed the Kölleda property to his knight sons Cunemund II and Vinnold. Vinnold's wife was called Agathe, maybe she was that legendary Beichlingen ancestor of the family, whose high position the gentlemen v. Kölleda repeatedly encouraged her to climb up into the nobility.

From the 5th generation onwards, the genealogical difficulties begin: in many cases there are no references to the family relationships, who was the father, brother, cousin, etc. There are enough personal documents with dates available to put these people in the right generation, but in many cases these documents do not contain any usable information for a correct succession. For some gentlemen who sat on the Burglehn Nebra or in Frömmstedt or were even citizens of Jena, as well as for most of the priests and the 2 nuns, there are no references to their fathers and their lineage.

The sale of the Kölleda property to Count Hermann v. Beichlingen and his wife Sibylle v. Schlotheim is interesting in two ways. First because of the marriage of the Sibylle's sister to the knight Berthold I. v. Kölleda, because as a result, a vassal has become the count's brother-in-law. Second, the downgrading from the previous imperial knighthood to vassal status associated with the sale of the free Kölleda allodes. This Berthold sat at Scherndorf Castle and appears to be the progenitor of the Olbersleben line.

A gap in the stem row is evident in the 6th and 7th generations of the Kölleda line. None of the documents issued until 1420 mentions the names and history of the owners of the castle and the city of Kölleda. Only from the feudal letter of July 22, 1420 do we learn that the brothers Berthold II and Friedrich IV were the enfeoffers of this now more Beichling property.

The only registered knight of the family was Hans II in the 8th generation. He was Johanniter Knight in 1383 and Comthur in Schleusingen in 1402. Otherwise there are no reports of family members who had leading roles in the Count's War or in the Hussite War or in the Turkish War or in the beginning of the Thirty Years' War. The impoverishment of the nobility, rampant in the late Middle Ages, is evident in all three lines from the 8th generation onwards. To escape from this financial uncertainty, some gentlemen from Kölleda have accepted Burgmann posts in the Sachsenburg.

With the death of the gentlemen of the 13th and 14th generation, the family once rich in possessions but poor in family members went out. The cousins ​​of the same name, Pankratz III. von der Olbersleben-Linie and Pankratz IV. von der Großneuhausen-Linie died in the same year, 1614. Otto, the last of the Kölleda-Linie and of the whole family, died in 1639.

In 2004, a woman born in Estonia contacted her, claiming that there were still descendants of her v. Kölleda live and she herself would have a grandmother from this family circle. The relevant aristocratic and knight associations have not yet been able to confirm the existence of these descendants based on the data available to them.
