Coat of arms of those of Oldershausen

Oldershausen , in the 13th century still Altwardeshusen, Oltwardeshusen , then also Olderdeshusen, Oldershusen , is the name of a Lower Saxon nobility that was first mentioned in 1197 at its ancestral home in Oldershausen near Northeim , which it still owns today.

The Oldershausen had also held the office of Hereditary Marshal in the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and the later Kingdom of Hanover for centuries from 1291 .

history

The office building (and today's manor house) Oldershausen , built in 1781

According to legend, the parent company in Oldershausen is said to have been built in the 11th century by Heinrich the Langen von Westerhof , who was the first of the family to take the name of Oldershausen. His favorite word is said to have been: "dat you old warst", which gave him the nickname Oldwartshausen , later Oldershusen .

The family is mentioned in a document in 1197, with Hermannus de Altwardeshusen as the Countess Eversteiner witness. The most important witness of this Eversteiner donation for the Amelungsborn monastery is the Count of Homburg , next to whom the Lord of Oldershausen is listed as a suitor . Whether Marshal Hermann, who was mentioned as a witness in a Gandersheimer deed in 1188, was a member of the family, however, is possible, but unproven.

In the 13th century the sex often occurs even with aristocratic predicates and is dynastic marriage. It was related to the Lords of Woldenberg , the Counts of Spiegelberg , the Counts of Lutterberg , the Lords of Campe , the Lords of Hardenberg , the Lords of Medenheim and the Lords of Steinberg, among others . The barons of Oldershausen acquired property in the former Liesgau after the Count of Northeim died out . In the 13th century they were vassals of the Counts of Dassel and entered the service of the Guelphs after they died out . Since the end of the 13th century, the von Oldershausen hereditary marshals of the principalities of Braunschweig , Göttingen and Grubenhagen , later they were also given this dignity in the Principality of Calenberg .

On April 25, 1294, the lords of Oldershausen took over the bailiwick of the estate complex of the St. Blasien monastery in Elwaldishusen (Eboldshausen).

When Dietrich von Stasvorde, Drost of the Reichsstiftes Gandersheim , died shortly before 1400 without a male heir , the hereditary office of drosten passed to his brother-in-law Bertold Spade (1375-1428) according to Gandersheim's service man's law , but against the objection of Hans von Grid. Abbess Agnes II von Gandersheim enfeoffed Bertold Spade together with Werner von Oldershausen with the Gandersheim Drostenamt on August 24, 1415, but the knightly Spaden later reappear as the sole holder of the office.

Westerhof village and castle around 1650

On May 14, 1302 the von Oldershausen sold their part to the county and castle Westerhof with extensive sovereign rights, as well as the court seat in Kalefeld , for 1020 marks to Bishop Siegfried II of Hildesheim . In the same century they made with Ludolf VI. (1359-1361) and Ludolf IX. (1418–1446) two provosts of the Einbecker Alexandr pen . They received numerous fiefdoms and other rights in an area between the Harz and Solling . They had jurisdiction in several places such as Oldenrode , Oldershausen, Düderode and Echte . On July 13, 1433, however, the von Oldershausen family again owned a quarter of Westerhof Castle. On February 20, 1480, the Lords of Hardenberg sold another quarter at Westerhof Castle for 700 Rhenish guilders to the von Oldershausen family. When the Hildesheim collegiate feud began in 1519 , the Lords of Oldershausen had the entire Westerhof Castle in pledge for 11,000 gold florins. As a result of the feud, the castle was handed over to the Guelphs with all rights in 1523 . From then on it belonged to the Duchy of Braunschweig-Lüneburg and was administered by a bailiff .

According to a document from 1302, the Oldershausen owned goods and people in Düderode and other places; The Düderode manor is still owned by the family today. In 1360 the tithe at Düderode went from the Gandersheim monastery to the Lords of Oldershausen. On February 2, 1408, they donated land in the district of Düderode to the Katharinen Altar of the church in Willershausen . During the Reformation, around 1517, the church patronage at Düderode was transferred to the University of Helmstedt . Probably in 1578 the so-called baron chair was added to the church . Among them is a hereditary burial of the von Oldershausen family. In 1819 the patronage was taken over by the barons of Oldershausen. So you still have the right to appoint a parish priest at St. Petri Church in Düderode.

In 1724 Jobst Adam von Oldershausen acquired Gut Gebesee in Thuringia from his wife's brothers, Sibylle Lucretia von Wurmb . His son Burkhardt Friedrich Anton had the baroque Gebesee Castle built in 1740 . In 1850 the descendants sold the property.

The ancestral seat of the family in Oldershausen was the "Hoppelburg" around 1500, of which cellar vaults still exist today. In 1538 Adam von Oldershausen built an aristocratic residence near today's manor chapel. This seat was given up with the construction of Oldershausen Castle ; Baron Wilhelm (1777–1860) had this built according to plans by Conrad Wilhelm Hase ; his son Burchard and his son Cuno expanded it. In 1945 the castle was confiscated by the Allies, then used for refugees and displaced persons from the former German eastern areas, rented out as a sanatorium from 1947 and sold in 1974; today it is empty.

In 1949, after temporarily moving to the Düderode manor, the family set up their residence in the former office building in Oldershausen , which was built in 1781 by the chief hunter Burchard Anton Friedrich von Oldershausen . The two manors of Oldershausen and Düderode form an economic unit with their agricultural and forestry areas of approx. 1,300 hectares, of which 900 hectares are forest ; they are today by Philip Frhr. v. Oldershausen managed. After reunification, the property was proportionally expanded to include the Morungen Forestry Company (Saxony-Anhalt). The family also owns the service company Hofos GmbH, which looks after 26 large forest operations in Lower Saxony, Saxony-Anhalt, Thuringia and Hesse with a total forest area of ​​more than 17,500 hectares in Germany and a further 5,000 hectares in Austria.

The royal Prussian chamberlain Carl von Oldershausen auf Gebesee received the hereditary Prussian baron status on April 23, 1824 .

On November 27, 1882, in Berlin, the Prussian recognition of the Baron object (for the brothers Franz, on Förste in Osterode am Harz, Landschaftsrat and hereditary marshal of the principalities of Calenberg, Göttingen and Grubenhagen, and Carl von Oldershausen, gräflich stolbergischen chamber director , the brothers Cuno, on Oldershausen, Jobst, royal Prussian second lieutenant in the 15th hussar regiment , and Curt von Oldershausen, the brothers Ernst, retired imperial-royal Rittmeister and Cuno von Oldershausen, as well as Adolf von Oldershausen, retired imperial-royal first lieutenant ).

coat of arms

The family coat of arms was specified in the diploma of 1882: square , the red fields 1 and 4 each sprinkled with nine (3, 3, 3) golden roses , the golden fields 2 and 3 without a picture. On the helmet with red and gold covers an open flight , divided by red and gold across the corner , the red parts of which are marked with nine gold roses as in the shield.

The Swiss theologian and lexicographer Jakob Christoph Iselin (1681–1737) stated in his newly increased historical and geographical general lexicon that the von Oldershausen originally descended from the lords of Westerhofen . The von Westerhof family also had two golden roses on top of the red shield, but a golden lion on the bottom, as evidenced by a seal on a document from 1255. With the certificate, Heinrich von Westerhof and Hermann von Oldershausen confirm that the provost Berthold of the St. Jakobi monastery in Osterode am Harz has replaced the claims of Lippold Hoye and his nephews on 23 acres of land in Eisdorf , which Mr. Ambrosius had acquired for the monastery Has.

Also Zedlitz mentioned even in 1837: "This ancient baronial race which flourished in a now extinct Count's line has previously v. Westerhofen called. The first Oldershausen was Heinrich the Long, b. 999. ”But he describes the Oldershausen coat of arms in such a way that one has to take it for a misinterpretation of the actual coat of arms, which shows roses instead of“ full moons ”, or rather a variant:“ This family has a square shield. Fields 1 and 4 are red, fields 2 and 3 are silver. In the red fields there are two rows of golden full moons, each of three; on the helmet, however, are two eagle wings quartered in white and red, the red fields covered with moons. The blankets red and silver. "

The coat of arms of the von Oldershausen family became the coat of arms of Oldershausen in the Lower Saxony municipality of Kalefeld . The Oldershausen roses also contain the municipal coat of arms of Kreiensen .
