Michaelis (Prussian noble family)

Coat of arms of those of Michaelis (1786, 1808)

Michaelis is the name of a Prussian noble family .

The family can be distinguished from other ennobled families of the same name, such as the Michaelis from the rear of Pomerania , the Michaëlis von Engelsheimb or the Michaelis family of the Russian - Polish general Eugeniusz de Henning-Michaelis (1863-1939) from Sweden .

history

The Prussian captain in the infantry regiment "Graf Henckel" (No. 2) and owner of the goods Auklappen and Perscheln in the district of Preußisch Eylau Heinrich Wilhelm von Michaelis (17 ..– 1807) was raised to the Prussian nobility on December 3, 1786. Since he died without leaving any heir, his nephew, Christoph Gottlieb von Michaelis († 1811), major in the Towarczycz regiment, and Friedrich Wilhelm Michaelis (1778–1849), artillery lieutenant on April 2, 1808, received the title of nobility. Loyden in Friedland County was also part of the family's estate.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of which Michel zu Schmalkalden

(1786, 1808): Split by silver and blue , in front a black eagle wing with a golden clover stem (as in the Prussian imperial eagle ), behind an outwardly turned sword arm at the gap. The sword arm grows on the helmet with the blue-silver cover .

The coat of arms essentially corresponds to that of the Michel zu Schmalkalden family . The council family begins the family line with Erasmus Michel (also Michael ; 1595–1646). The merchant Jacob Michel († after 1709) married in Schmalkalden in 1684 . Caspar Friedrich Michel was still a trader in Schmalkalden at the beginning of the 19th century. In 1803 he went bankrupt. Members of the Michel family from Schmalkalden were still traders in 1812. A relative, the royal Württemberg government trainee Georg Michel, received in 1901 as the adoptive son of Agnes Lang von Langen the Württemberg nobility as Michel Lang von Langen with the coat of arms of Lang von Langen: in a shield split in blue and red, two silver armor protruding from the side edges Arms with golden swords. On the helmet with red and silver covers on the right and blue and silver covers on the left, two buffalo horns divided by silver and red.

Occasionally the brothers, who were ennobled in 1808, were given a four-quarter coat of arms, but this was based on a confusion with a simultaneous Prussian elevation of another Michaelis.
