history

Quatzow manor around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

The line of the family begins with the Stolbergish mayor and fisherman in Schiedungen , then citizens, merchants and church leaders in Ellrich Nikolaus (Claus) Michel († 1673). Already in the second generation, his family was able to take possession of estates in 1658 , in the third generation with Johann Heinrich Michaelis (1668–1738) an important theologian, philologist and professor at the University of Halle and in the fourth generation with Justus Konrad Michaelis (1716–1772) a Prussian councilor. King Friedrich Wilhelm II of Prussia raised the latter son Wilhelm Michaelis (1742-1819), Rittmeister in the Hussar Regiment "von Wolky" , to the hereditary Prussian nobility on August 30, 1787 with a diploma of April 12, 1788. The Michaelis family of officers owned the Quatzow estate with Reddichow from 1819 to 1945 and, since 1846, also Marienthal in the Schlawe district . One of the landlords was Hubert von Michaelis (1858–1925), a member of the Reichstag from 1903 to 1918. The last landowner in Quatzow before 1945 was Ernst Hubert von Michaelis, under whose patronage the Protestant parish of Quatzow had stood.
