history
The Pahlen are heraldic and probably tribal related to those of Koskull . The common progenitor came to Livonia as a crusader in the middle of the 13th century . The homeland of origin is not known, the two family names come from fiefdoms that have been preserved there: The Kosküll farm near Dickeln (today Dikļi near Valmiera / Wolmar, Latvia) was on the Pahle stream. The knight Andreas de Koskele is mentioned for the first time in 1302, while Johannes de Palo by the Riga archbishop Johann III. Count von Schwerin is enfeoffed with goods in the Dickeln and Sissegall area in 1298. He was 1316-22 mayor of Treyden . Gut Dickeln is mentioned in 1456 as belonging to Gottschalk von der Pahlen. It remained in the family's possession until the Northern Wars .
In 1677 the Palmse estate in Estonia came to the Pahlen and remained in their possession until it was expropriated in the course of the dissolution of the estates in 1919.
On September 18, 1679 five brothers of the family with their descendants of King Charles XI. raised by Sweden to the hereditary baron status. In 1799, Czar got Paul to Peter Ludwig von der Pahlen in a count. By decisions of the Russian governorate in 1755 and 1865, most of the other family members of the Pahlen were elevated to the baron status of the Russian Empire .
