history

The origin of the sex, which in its early days also appeared under the names Nirodt , Nuwenrode , Newenrath , Nyerath , Nuerath , Nuwradt , Niegeradt , Nyeroth , Nyrot , Nurodt , Neuroth and Neuerodt , was assumed to be in Lower Saxony. On the other hand, in the history of research, references were made several times to the coat of arms-related and name-like city dynasty Neuroth from Rotenburg .

The Nieroth came to Livonia with the order . With Johann Nuwerode († after 1508), who was 1485-1486 chum on Weissenstein , 1497-1500 captain of the Landmarschall von Mitau and 1507-1508 Vogt of Narwa , the sex was first mentioned in a document. The country champion in Livonia , Johann Friday from Loringhoven belehnte on February 5, 1493 Hermen Nuwenrait, which was documented as early as June 21, 1491 and with the secure, consistent regular series begins on sex, with 30 hooks country to Pattowes (Alt Padefest) . The sex was divided among his sons. While the judge Johann Nieroth († before 1545) founded the Kappel line , his younger brother Peter Nieroth († after 1537), the founder of the Koddil lines , from which the Counts Nieroth later emerged, and Megel.

One line of the family came to Nizhny Novgorod in 1616 at the latest through Russian captivity and flourished there and in the interior of Russia under the name Mortzow or Nierotmortzow until the middle of the 19th century. As early as the middle of the 20th century, there was no certainty about the outcome of this line.

At the time of the establishment of the Livonian Knight Bank, the family only flourished in Estonia . There, on April 12, 1747, the enrollment for the entire sex with the Estonian knighthood took place (No. 106 and 107).

From Estonia, the sex spread mainly through military service to Sweden , Prussia , Finland , Pomerania and Russia.

Estonian line

House Waetz

Magnus Wilhelm von Nieroth (* 1663; † 1740), royal Swedish major and later colonel, district administrator and vice-president of the Imperial Russian Chamber of Commerce, was promoted to the Swedish baron class on February 5, 1687 and in 1698 to the baron class (No. 90) of the Swedish Knighthood introduced. Magnus Wilhelm von Nieroth had no children from three marriages.

House Koendes

On November 19, 1693, Carl Nieroth received the Swedish indigenous class and was introduced to the nobility class (No. 529) of the Swedish knighthood. On June 26, 1706 was in the Swedish Freiherrn- and count conditions ennobled . His son, the royal Swedish cavalry master, Count Carl Reinhold Nieroth, was introduced to the count class (No. 52) of the Swedish knighthood in 1719. His grandsons, the brothers Count Gustav Reinhold Johann Nieroth (* 1799; † 1871), Count Alexander Karl Nieroth (* 1805; † 1881), Count Nicolai Ferdinand Nieroth (* 1806; † 1864) and Count Otto Moritz Nieroth (* 1815; † 1871) received the Russian recognition of the count status on June 7, 1849 . All four achieved the rank of Imperial Russian general. Only the tendency of this generation continues today in two houses in Russia.

Pomeranian Line

The royal Swedish cavalry captain Jakob von Nieroth († 1699), whose connection to the Baltic Nieroth is unsecured, but is suspected to be in the house of Köndes, is said to have come to Pomerania with the Swedish troops . Balthasar August Carl von Nieroth (* 1767; † 1842), royal Swedish lieutenant colonel and governor, received from the line he had donated, initially the Swedish indigenous community on May 5, 1818, was then raised to the Swedish baron on May 11, 1820 and as a later royal Swedish governor of the castles Linköping and Vadstena in the aristocratic class (no. 2274) and in the baron class (no. 372) of the Swedish knighthood. His two sons, Baron Carl Fredrik Knut von Nieroth (* 1804; † 1873) and Baron Eugen August von Nieroth (* 1813; † 1883) each left two daughters, with which this line had found its beginning.

Swedish family

Johann Nieroth († 1545), Herr auf Kappel in the parish of Rappel in Estonia, who was also a judge in Estonia in 1529, is considered to be the possible progenitor of a Swedish Nieroth family. However, there is disagreement about the actual tribal affinity of this family with the Baltic. The two presumed great-grandchildren of the above-mentioned and sons of the royal Swedish major Johann Nieroth († 1628), with whom the indisputable line begins, were ennobled in Sweden.

Gyllennieroth

Swickert Nieroth († 1645) was regimental quartermaster under Colonel Hinric Horn in 1645 and was ennobled with the name Gyllennieroth on October 3, 1652 and in 1654 introduced to the nobility class (no. 573) of the Swedish knighthood. However, its line must have been extinguished again immediately with or after it.

Nieroth

Johann Nieroth († 1628), received a Swedish nobility diploma on September 20, 1648 and was introduced to the nobility class (no. 564) of the Swedish knighthood in 1654. The line he donated became extinct with the royal Swedish colonel Anders Bleckert Nieroth (* 1675; † 1761), who left two daughters in the male line. His family led a growing deciduous tree in the shield in silver on a green hill.
