Pannwitz (Pannewitz, Panwitz) is the name of an ancient noble family from Upper and Lower Lusatia , Silesia and the County of Glatz . The associated village of Pannewitz is now part of the municipality of Burkau (Saxony). Another village called Pannewitz is part of the municipality of Neschwitz near Bautzen. It has not yet been possible to determine which of the two villages is to be regarded as the eponymous headquarters. Pannwitz, today Paniowice, was a village and manor in the Trebnitz district in the Reg. Bez. Breslau, and was called a district of Laukitten in East Prussia until 1945 Pannwitz.

history

The family first appeared in documents in 1276 with Ticzco de Panewicz and the family line began with his father Dietmar († before 1276), owner of a castle fiefdom in Budissin ( Bautzen ). Thiesko von Panwitz gave his garden when Otto the Pious, Margrave of Brandenburg, founded the Franciscan monastery in Bautzen and can be regarded as the progenitor of the family's branch that is still in bloom today.

In 1305 Dietrich von Pannwitz donated the village of Jauer, southwest of the monastery, to the Marienstern monastery. For many other places in Upper Lusatia, Pannwitz has later property holdings such as Königswartha, Lohsa, Uhyst, Merzdorf, Ratzen or Neida.

Ti (e) tzd. J. is enfeoffed with Vetschau in Niederlausitz in 1387. His son Heinrich fought in 1410 with a gang of 51 spears and a rifleman in the battle of Tannenberg under the Grand Master of the Teutonic Order Ulrich von Jungingen and in 1434 acquired Kathlow and Schlichow near Cottbus. Hans auf Lohsa bei Hoyerswerda, Heinrich's brother, participated in the fortification of Bautzen against the Hussites in 1421 and was paid by the city of Görlitz in 1424. Andreas von Pannwitz studied in Bologna and became a doctor of law in 1527. Balzer von Pannwitz († 1609) acquired Kahren in 1578. Hans von Pannwitz (1490–1536) on Kathlow, who acquired one half of Babow in 1519 and had owned Klein-Ossnig since 1498, is to be regarded as the ancestor of the Müschen line. Between 1646 and 1699 the manor Briescht and from 1665 to 1682 Falkenberg belonged to the Pannwitz family. The head of the Gens d'armes regiment , General Wolf Adolf von Pannwitz (1679–1750) on Groß Gaglow and Lipten, acquired the Schönfließ manor near Oranienburg in 1735 and, together with his son Friedrich Wilhelm (1719–1790), created an exemplary estate and Farming village according to modern agricultural and forestry methods, in which the separation was carried out as early as 1767. As a sign of his appreciation, Wolf Adolph was a member of the tobacco college under the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I and had a palace built in 1736 on Wilhelmstrasse in the center of Berlin at number 76, which later became the Prussian Foreign Office. Heinrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz auf Babow and Gulben (1678–1749) acquired the Müschen manor in 1714 from Otto Heinrich von Stutterheim. His son Otto Heinrich (1706–1751) was married to Juliane von Schönfeldt from the Werben family. Their daughter Ulrike Juliane married Major Joachim Friedrich von Kleist on Guhrow and became the mother of the great German poet Heinrich von Kleist .

Werner (Wolfram) got the burgrave of Wohlau and Stuben with all his rights from Duke Konrad of Oels in 1324 .

His brother Ticzco (1327-1359) resided from 1346 as the first Pannwitz in the castle Landfried and Reinerz in the rule Hummel , which at that time still belonged directly to the old Bohemian Königgrätzer district and was only incorporated into the county of Glatz in 1477.

In the county of Glatz, the Lords of Pannwitz ( Panevicz ) owned extensive estates until the 19th century, including Albendorf , Altlomnitz , Dürrkunzendorf , Eisersdorf , Hartau , Hohndorf , Hollenau , Poditau , Utschendorf , Plomnitz , Rathen , Raumnitz , Rengersdorf , Rothwaltersdorf and others Waltersdorf . Mathias von Pannwitz received the right of patronage over the Rengersdorfer parish church from the Bohemian King Johann von Luxemburg . In 1341/46 he was the first Pannwitz to hold the office of Burgrave of Glatz . He was later followed by Hans I (1477–1501) on Rengersdorf and Hans II. (1584–1588) on Mechwitz and Neudeck . The latter was court judge and captain von Münsterberg , to whom Albendorf also belonged in addition to Rengersdorf and whose branch he founded. Because of the increasing number of pilgrimages, Ludwig von Pannwitz had the larger stone pilgrimage church of the Visitation of the Virgin built in stone, which was consecrated in 1512, instead of the first wooden church that had been destroyed in the Hussite Wars . The Rengersdorf line of Pannwitz (founded by Otto in 1494) went out in 1768 with the Königgrätz canon Johann Franz von Pannwitz.

Heinrich Wilhelm von Pannwitz (1623–1663) became resident in the Principality of Jauer through his marriage to Rosina von Schweinitz from Peterwitz . The couple is one of the founders of the Peace Church there . He came from the Alt Lomnitzer branch of the family. His grandfather's first name of the same name (around 1594–1629) had all goods confiscated in 1625 because of his participation in the Bohemian uprising and his refusal to convert to the Catholic faith. In addition, he had to leave the county of Glatz, which is part of Bohemia. His brother Hans Adolf owned Gäbersdorf near Striegau since 1664 .

Ennobled family from 1785

There is also a von Pannwitz family , which goes back to the master butcher Melchior Pannwitz (d. 1633) from Nimptsch, whose descendants came to higher offices and estates in Breslau, with Friedrich Julius Pannwitz (1747–1806) referring to the nobility Confirmation or renewal of nobility on April 4, 1788. These von Pannwitz owned several estates in Lower Silesia in the 19th century, especially near Sagan and Grünberg (for a long time the Schweinitz III estate ). The chief forest master Julius von Pannewitz (1788–1867) also comes from this family .

Ennobled family from 1787

Since 1787 there is still an ennobled von Pannwitz family , who are based on Carl Friedrich Conrad Fischer , Junker in the royal Prussian hussar regiment v. Köszegy , who was ennobled on February 8, 1787 as the step-son and adoptive son of the Royal Prussian Rittmeister Alexander von Pannwitz .
