Coat of arms of the Krug von Nidda

Krug von Nidda is the name of a noble family from Hesse . Members of the Krug family, who made their fortune as owners of the salt works, served as landgrave Hessian rent masters for the county of Nidda in the 17th century .

history

origin

In older literature it is assumed that the family descended from an old patrician dynasty from the cities of Basel and Erfurt . Accordingly, the family spread from Basel in Alsace and became possessions in the Wetterau in the 15th century .

According to the Genealogical Handbook of the Nobility , the Nidda jugs originally came from the Fulda monastery . They appear there for the first time in 1412 with Cort Crugk in Allmus and with Hans Crugk in Kleinsassen near Biberstein . The uninterrupted line of the family begins with Antonius (Thonges) Crugk (* around 1440). He was landgräflich Hessian mercenary in Sontra and died shortly before the 1524th

Lines and personalities

Around 1500 the family split into an Upper Hessian and a Lower Hessian line. Johann Daniel Krug (1623–1704), rector of the grammar school and first preacher in Hersfeld , came from the Lower Hessian line, which was located in and around Rotenburg an der Fulda . Heidenreich Krug (1526–1569), councilor of the Hessian landgraves and envoy, came from the Upper Hesse line.
