Coat of arms of the von Oertzen

Oertzen is the name of an old Mecklenburg noble family with Slavic origins. Because members of the family were among the signatories of the rural union in 1523 , the family in Mecklenburg is counted among the native nobility ( primeval nobility ).

Surname

The name means something like the man from the corner by the lake or Ackersmann . The name Uritz changed over time via Oritz , Ordessen zu Oertzen .

history

Roggow manor house , historical view (around 1858)

In 1192 one was Iritz in Hofgefolge of Prince Henry I. Borwin mentioned. The family then appears for the first time in a document on February 11, 1260 with Thidericus de Oerdessen , with whom the line of tribe begins.

The oldest ancestral seat of the von Oertzen family is the Roggow manor in today's Rerik municipality , in the Rostock district on the Baltic Sea coast, which was owned by the family since the 14th century at the latest until it was expropriated in 1945. A Hermann von Oertze van Rogghowe is mentioned in a document in 1345 , but it is assumed that Roggow came to the family long before that. The manor house and parts of the former Roggow estate were bought back by the von Oertzen family after the fall of the Wall.

The family later split into the Roggow and Helpte lines (acquired in 1665).

The von Oertzen family has two countial lines:

On April 27, 1733, the Danish chamberlain Friedrich von Oertzen from the House of Helpte was raised to the status of Danish count. He died as a Privy Councilor in Kiel in 1779, leaving no male heirs.

On June 29, 1792, the Saxon Major General Carl Ludwig von Oertzen from the House of Bagenz , on Klein Düben and Dubrauke , by Elector Friedrich August III. of Saxony as imperial vicar , raised to the rank of imperial count . This count's tribe is also extinct.

The family coat of arms shows two silver armored arms in red, whose bare hands hold up a gold ring together. On the helmet with the red and silver covers, the arms with the ring.

Friedrich von Oertzen from the Helpte family increased his coat of arms in 1733 on the occasion of his elevation to the Danish count status with the shield images of his wife and his maternal ancestors: the Friis (squirrel: twice, since his wife and mother were named Friis), the Svan ( Swan) and the wibe (kibitz).

Carl Ludwig von Oertzen, on Klein Düben and Dubrauke , added two silver stars to his shield in 1792 on the occasion of his elevation to the rank of imperial count.
