Coat of arms of the von Laffert family

Von Laffert is the name of an originally Brunswick-Lüneburg patrician dynasty that derives its name from Groß Lafferde and Klein Lafferde in what is now the district of Peine and later was wealthy as a noble family , especially in Mecklenburg .

history

The sex starts its regular series with the 1303 documentary appearing Heinrich von Laffert . He immigrated to the Hanseatic city of Braunschweig around 1300 and most likely came from the Hildesheim ministerial family of the same name, documented since before 1200 . In the ancestral village of Groß Lafferde, the family still owned two farms with seven hooves in later times . Until the second half of the 17th century, the family belonged to the patricians of the Hanseatic cities of Braunschweig and Lüneburg .

On May 7, 1664, the brothers Hieronymus (1614–1687), First Mayor of Lüneburg , as well as Georg and Friedrich von Laffert and their cousin Balthasar von Laffert received from Emperor Ferdinand III. the confirmation and renewal of their nobility. Georg von Laffert (1615–1683), Sülfmeister in Lüneburg , became the progenitor of the Lords of Laffert in Lüneburg and Mecklenburg. With Gut Wittorf acquired in 1681 , the Lafferts were part of the knighthood of the Principality of Lüneburg . In 1856 Ernst-August von Laffert bought the Dannenbüttel manor near Sassenburg . The estate is still owned by his descendant Peter von Laffert von Kobylinski (* 1939), who bears the Laffert coat of arms in addition to his name, through Sybille, the heir to Dannenbüttel. In Hanover, the Lafferts frequented the Medingen monastery to look after their unmarried daughters.

Mecklenburg line

From 1690 family members acquired large estates in Mecklenburg. The Chamber Councilor Hieronymus Wigand von Laffert (1659–1728), who played an important role in establishing the Guelph rule in the Duchy of Saxony-Lauenburg , bought the Lehsen manor in western Mecklenburg that year . The inclusion (reception) in the Mecklenburg knighthood did not take place until 1801, namely for the brothers Captain Gotthard Wilhelm (1765-1814) on Dammereez (now part of Dersenow ), Karl on Groß Weltzien (electoral Brunswick-Lüneburgischer Drost), Ludolph Friedrich to Lehsen (Braunschweig-Lüneburg court and chancellery in Celle) and Ernst to Schwechow.

In Einschreibebuch the monastery Dobbertin are therefore only from 1803-1889 seven entries of daughters of the family of Laffert from Lehsen, Dammereez and Schwerin for inclusion in the aristocratic convent in the monastery Dobbertin .

1888 took place for Karl von Laffert (1811-1888), royal Hanover tax director a. D. and co-lord on Schwechow, a royal Prussian association of names with that of Woldeck as "von Laffert-Woldeck", linked to the possession of the Woldecksche Geldfideikommiss. His son Ernst-August von Laffert-Woldeck (1847-1891) was governor in Grabow . Ernst von Laffert-Woldeck (* 1883) died in the Battle of Haelen in 1914 as first lieutenant of the Dragoon Regiment 18.

In 1904 Karl von Laffert, Saxon colonel and commander of the 5th Infantry Regiment "Crown Prince" No. 104, was entered under No. 141 in the Royal Saxon Nobility Book.

Franconian line

Friedrich von Laffert (1617–1668) served as Ober-Hofmeister and Marshal in the service of Württemberg . He acquired the Burggrub estate and asked for admission to the Frankish Imperial Knighthood. For this he needed a confirmation of nobility from the emperor, which he received with his Lüneburg relatives in 1664. The admission into the Franconian Imperial Knighthood (Canton Steigerwald) was then completed in April 1667. The Franconian line that led the baronial title has expired.

Austria-Hungarian line

Ferdinand Albrecht von Laffert, Austrian chief provisions commissair, was elevated by the emperor to imperial knight with the predicate noble von Laffert in 1702 . He was a relative of the three Laffert brothers from Lüneburg and owned large estates in Hungary . His son, the Kaiserliche Hof-Cammerrath Ferdinand Anton von Laffert, was given the status of baron by the emperor.

Laffert of the Haas tribe

Karl August von Laffert adopted his grandson Gerhard (“Gert”) de Haas (1919–1944) in 1932, who henceforth bore the name “von Laffert”. Gert von Laffert married Sabine von Ostau in 1941 and fell as a pilot in World War II . Their son Fabian von Laffert, Berlin teacher, received in 1986 by order of the German nobility Legal Committee a needle legal non-objection to the form of the name v. Laffert . The de Haas family begins the line with Nikolaas (de) Haas around 1758 in Rees on the Lower Rhine.

coat of arms

Coat of arms with deer holding shields in the register of arms of the Kingdom of Hanover and the Duchy of Braunschweig

The family coat of arms was already used in the 14th and 15th centuries and specified in the nobility letter of 1664: the shield is split and shows two black bars in silver on the right, each with a silver star, on the left in blue a right-facing, red-tongued silver deer head with red twelve-ended antlers. On the crowned helmet with blue-silver covers the deer head.

Variants show the shield in front three times divided in silver and black, the two black parts with the stars. Two deers serve as shield holders , tinged as in the shield and on the helmet.

Instead of the helmet covers, in other depictions a blue-silver coat covered with a black crossbar surrounds the shield. The Mecklenburg coat of arms shows the deer in natural color.

The content of the coat of arms of the von Laffert male line of de Haas , which was newly adopted in 1987, is reminiscent of the Laffert family coat of arms, and also a talking coat of arms , because of the allusion to the original de Haas family name by the hare as a shield figure: Above a black shield base, inside two silver ones Stars side by side, a blue rabbit in silver. On the helmet with blue and silver covers, a deer head like the old von Laffert family.
