Marchia (noble family)

Seal of Hugo de Marchia (1320)

Marchia or von der Marck is the name of an old noble family in the Eichsfeld in southern Lower Saxony and northern Thuringia .

history

It is not known whether they took their name from the town of Marke, southwest of the Harz Mountains , and settled in the 12th century in the Untereichsfeld region, or derived it from the Golden Mark (aurea marchia) near Duderstadt. The first to be mentioned in 1189 was a Bruno from Marchia.

Members of the noble family were wealthy as ministerials of the Quedlinburger Stift in the Mark Duderstadt and enfeoffed with further goods and lands of various counts. At the end of the 13th century, larger parts of their property in the Unterereichsfeld were sold or pledged to the von Westernhagen family and the family moved their center to the Obereichsfeld. It is not known exactly when the noble family died out, but members of the family were last mentioned in the middle of the 14th century.

There was a direct tribal relationship with the noble von Westernhagen family from the Lower Fields . Presumably those of Westernhagen and those of Immingerode, Berlingerode and Etzenborn emerged agnostically from the von der Mark family.

coat of arms

The coat of arms or seal shows a rising lion and is identical to the coat of arms of those of Westernhagen.
