history

The Counts of Padberg

Family table of Count Haolde and their presumed descent

For the first time the name Padberg (also Badberch, Badperch, Bathbergh, Pattberch) appears in a document on June 1, 1030, when a property in the Ittergau of Count Bernhard, called Badperch, was transferred to the Paderborn Bishop Meinwerk . In 1101, Count Erpo von Padberg gave his own church to Werdohl (predecessor of Kilian's Church) and land to the Boke monastery (1104 moved to Flechtdorf , a current district of Diemelsee in Northern Hesse).

The Lords of Padberg

Padberg Castle on the steep hilltop of Padberg (also called "Alter Hagen"), between the Hoppecke and Diemel valleys , was the ancestral castle of the second generation of Padberg. The castle was first mentioned in a document when Beatrix von Itter sold the castle and rule of Padberg to Archbishop Friedrich I of Cologne after the death of her husband Erpo von Padberg († 1113) . The archbishops occupied the castle with their own ministerials, who later named themselves after the castle. The verifiable lineage of this ministerial family begins in 1165 with Gottschalk von Padberg.

Friedrich III. from the old house of Padberg, one of the leaders of the Benglers (reconstruction 2007, based on the model of the figure on the right on the grave slab of Prince-Bishop Rupert von Berg in Paderborn Cathedral)

The Padbergs played a leading role in the horns, hawks and Bengler societies of the late 14th century and in the Padberg feud of the early 15th century. In 1391 Friedrich vom Alten Haus Padberg, Kurt Spiegel zum Desenberg and Rabe von Canstein founded the Bengler Society . The founding of this aristocratic union was apparently mainly operated by Kurt Spiegel zum Desenberg, who, as the Mainz governor, organized support in the Mainz-Hessian dispute. However, the Archbishop of Mainz, Konrad II, was more concerned with a compromise with the Hessian landgrave , and Kurt Spiegel zum Desenberg did not take part in the actual Bengler feud. The Benglers were defeated in July 1392 by the troops of the Paderborn bishop.

In the period from 1250 to 1397, Padberg Castle was considered impregnable and was one of the four pillars of the Archdiocese of Cologne. In 1397 the lords of Padberg were from Cologne Archbishop Friedrich III. von Saar are subjected and re-enfeoffed. The Padberger Freigericht was finally repealed.

After 1350, the Lords of Padberg came into possession of Ober-Ense Castle near Korbach . When she gave this to the Archbishop of Cologne Friedrich III. gave up fiefdoms , this led to war with Count Heinrich VII von Waldeck , because he did not tolerate a seat of the Cologne residents in his area. This feud ended in defeat for the Lords of Padberg. They had to submit to the Counts of Waldeck , who in the following years, like the Archbishop of Cologne, came into partial possession of Padberg.

Nevertheless, the gradually impoverished Padbergers, who thereby acquired the reputation of robber barons, repeatedly attacked the area of ​​the Waldecker. After another major cattle theft in the Korbach area, the Padbergs suffered another defeat on June 20, 1413 in the so-called Padberg feud , in which Friedrich von Padberg was also captured by the Korbach people.

In 1427 the Padbergs were able to free themselves again briefly from the Cologne suzerainty, before they were subjected again in 1473 and had to recognize the Cologne feudal sovereignty and belonging to the Cologne Duchy of Westphalia .

In March 1516 Götz von Berlichingen spent three days at the castle as guests of Johann and Friedrich von Padberg. He had been in a feud with the Archbishop of Mainz, Albrecht , since the previous year . Shortly after his visit to the Padberg family, Götz attacked Count Philip II of Waldeck , an ally of the Archbishop, in front of the Wetterburg near Arolsen , took him prisoner and only released him after a long time and for a ransom of 8,900 ducats. With this ransom he is said to have bought Jagsthausen Castle , known as "Götzenburg" , which is still owned by the Berlichingen family today. For this attack, Götz was ostracized again on February 11, 1518.

By 1550 the two castles, the Old House and the New House (on the Neuer Hagen), were so dilapidated that Johann von Padberg left them and moved to Beringhausen. He had a new house built in Padberg, which after his death was to fall equally to his sons. Johann died in 1557, and his sons shared the rule: Philipp received the upper house (Sparrenburg), Friedrich the lower house.

In 1801 the widow of Josef von Padberg bought the lower house from the upper house; since then the two houses have been united. A year later, her heiress Regina Dorothea Franziska von Padberg zu Padberg married Count Maximilian Franz Droste zu Vischering ; so the Padberg house fell to his family.

The last male descendant of the family was Friedrich "Fritz" von Padberg from the Helminghausen line. He was the landlord of the Karlsfelde, Strasburg, Uckermark estate. Karlsfelde, Kreis Prenzlau, 1843 the house of Karl Friedrich Keibel is mentioned in the official gazette of the Reg. Potsdam p. 22. He died after the Second World War as a slave laborer in East Prussia with his daughter Lilli.

coat of arms

The Padberg coat of arms is known for the first time from a seal from July 25, 1231. Two rows of piles (silver and blue) above a golden shield base ; on the helmet with blue-silver blankets an open flight, occupied by 2 rows of stakes. Representations from the 15th century also show two buffalo horns or two feathers as a helmet ornament. The family coat of arms remained almost unchanged until the 18th century.

From the 16th century the coat of arms of the Padberg family was often reproduced with so-called "double clouds", also called "Padtberg clouds". It can also be found with Max von Spießen in the coat of arms of the Westphalian nobility.

Armorial Bayhardt or 'Wappencodex des Graf von Virmundt', ca.1600

The coat of arms can also be found in the medieval heraldic books Gelre, Bellenville, Bergshammar, Grünenberg and Bayhart , on various evocation boards in the Münster State Archives , on grave slabs in the old Padberg church , in the Rhena church by the form cutter and foundryman Conrad Luckeln , as well as in Dalwigksthal , in the Fritzlarer Dom , in the Marienkirche Höxter , the Halsted church in Lolland (DK) and in the Melanchtonkirche Bochum , on the choir stalls of Cappenberg , and on a cupboard in the castle Melschede .
