history

The Low German origin of the sex is generally undisputed. Bagmihl is rather skeptical about ancestry of the family from the Pomeranian Klot zu Nepzin , which appeared in documents between 1418 and 1570, as suggested by Hupel in the Nordic Miscellanees , due to the difference in coats of arms.

The secured family line of the Klot begins with Claus Kloth († after 1541), 1501 documentary witness in Seßwegen , 1504 feudal lord on Heydenfeldt. On July 6, 1527, he received a letter of arms from Emperor Charles V in Esslingen . In 1557 his sons received the imperial confirmation of nobility. In the third generation, the Swedish colonel Tönnies von Klot († after 1616) continued the tribe permanently. His grandchildren, the Swedish major Otto Wilhelm von Klot († 1702) and the Swedish captain Wilhelm Johann von Klot († around 1742) were founders of the older and younger line of the family, while his younger brother Engelbrecht von Klot († after 1599) one Polish line donated. The Klot adH Heydenfeldt registered in the Ritterbank under no.15 in 1742 , but received no.16 in the registers of 1745 and 1747.

From the older line, the nephew and heir of the Swedish Lieutenant General Johan Reinhold von Trautvetter († 1741), Ernst Johann von Klot († 1771), Fideikommißherr on Hohendorf at the name and coat of arms association of Klot called Trautvetter in Stockholm on April 20, 1752 in lifted the Swedish baron . The ennoblement was tied to the ownership of Hohendorf. On 29 April 1846 was issued in Potsdam by extraordinary cabinet order the authorization to continue the Baron title to the possession of fideicommissum Hohendorf, on the principle of primogeniture . On April 15, 1871, the Prussian count was given to Baron Ernst von Klot-Trautvetter in Berlin under identical conditions , with unlimited expansion of the Swedish baron.

From 1737 to 1945 the Klein Mohrdorf estate in Groß Mohrdorf belonged to the family.

There is a family association.
