Coat of arms of those of Negendank

Negendank , occasionally also Nagendank or Negendanck, is the name of an old Mecklenburg noble family that became extinct in 1767 in the male line .

history

The Negendank family probably came to Mecklenburg from Lower Saxony, where it was able to provide a bishop of Schwerin with Brunward († 1238) at the end of the 12th century . In 1274 the Negendank was first mentioned as such in a document. With the knights Ludolf (1294/1322) and Eckhard Negendank (1296/1309) the family divided into a Mecklenburg and Werle line. In 1313 they were already tenants to Brahlstorf not far from Wittenburg .

In the 14th century the family spread to Denmark and was held in high esteem until it died out there. With the heir to Dresenow, the royal Danish privy councilor Ulrich von Negendank († 1767), the family died out in its own tribe . However, he had adopted his next of kin, a married von Behr . She and her husband Karl August von Behr combined the two names and the coat of arms. The Behr-Negendank couple thus entered into the inheritance of the family.

possession

The historical holdings of the Negendank in Mecklenburg included Brahlstorf, Bentzlin, Kastorf near Stavenhagen, Dresenow, Eggerstorf, Hoppenrade, Groß Krankow, Krönkenhagen, Landstorf, Naudin, Petersdorf, Redewisch / Rethwisch, Schmachthagen, Schorsow, Starckow, Groß Walmstorf, Wieschendorf and Zierow as well Schwiesel in the Güstrow office. The Behr-Negendank acquired Passow in 1797 .

coat of arms

The tribe coat of arms is divided with a right tip of gold, silver and red. On the crowned helmet with gold-red blankets , a curved arm armored leg with the foot up and to the right with gold rings and a spur.

The jewel is also emblazoned differently: the leg is black, the knee is tied with a blue ribbon, the golden spur is fastened with a red bow.

The Mecklenburg families Parkentin and Plüskow were coats of arms . According to research by Georg Christian Friedrich Lisch , the coat of arms was originally a shield that was split across. The upper part did not take up half of it, but rather a third (like a shield head ), while the lower part was divided diagonally into itself. The lower division turned into the apex over time.
