history

The family first appeared in a document on December 7, 1299 with dominus Johannes, miles, dictus de Levenwalde in the diocese of Dorpat . The Löwenwolde were related to the lords of Engdes († 18th century), as well as related to the lords, barons and counts of Wrangel .

In 1726 the brothers Karl Gustav von Löwenwolde and Gustav Reinhold von Löwenwolde were raised to the status of Russian count. With the salutation high and well- born, the third brother Friedrich Kasimir von Löwenwolde was raised to the rank of imperial count in Vienna in 1730. The corresponding diploma was not issued until 1740. None of the brothers continued the tribe, but the universal heir of the latter was the relative Christian Friedrich Nordhosen . In Vienna in 1769 he was granted the nobility coat of arms of the Counts of Löwenwolde, as Nordhosen, Count of Löwenwolde and Malla . Nothing is known about descendants.

In 1747 the entire family was registered with the Livonian knighthood .

By Senatsukas of 1854 recognizing the authorization was made of guiding the Baron title for Gerhard Ludwig Baron von lion Walde (* 1780, † 1872), Lord of the Manor on Pallamois, Russa, Paulenhof, Wöbs, New Kirrumpäh and New Koiküll, Pawn Lord of Alexandershof, Member of the Livonian Measurements Review Commission and District Court Assessor in Dorpat . With him, the sex officially found its way out, but he had several children from an illegitimate relationship, some of whom were later allowed to bear the name Loewenwolde by a document of the Senate of the Free City of Danzig from 1939 and also married nobly.
