Mithoff coat of arms

Mithoff , also: Mithof , Mithob and Latinized Mithobius is the name of an old Hanoverian bourgeois dynasty , which can be traced for the first time in 1430 in Neustadt am Rübenberge and of which a branch was raised to imperial nobility in 1639.

Nobility rise

  • Imperial nobility of Emperor Ferdinand III. on November 7, 1639 for Hector Mithobius (1561–1642) and his sons Daniel, Hector and Franz Burchard as Comes palatinus under the nobility name Mithobius von Mithoffen .
  • The nobility of the family was assigned to the Ensign von Mithoffen in Regiment v. Schwerin recognized by King Friedrich II of Prussia according to the cabinet order of June 3, 1771.

A noble line existed in Mecklenburg at least until the end of the 19th century, because Johann Georg von Mithoffen (born November 19, 1798 in Güstrow , † November 26, 1880 in Gromadom / Posen ) had the daughter Henriette Gottfriede Caroline Eduardine with Henriette Gottfriede Constanze Meinhardt von Mithoffen (born January 15, 1832 in Güstrow, † June 28, 1920 in Berlin-Friedenau ), who was married to Carl Adam Heinrich Kulow (born August 15, 1822 in Friedrichshagen , † August 12, 1907 in Neustrelitz ) since 1853 .
