The Parsenow borrow their name from their ancestral home in Pasenow in the country of Stargard , where they appeared in documents around the year 1320. Another family estate in Stargard was Breesen . In Mecklenburg, however, the family died out in 1491.

1496 appointed Duke Bogislaw Henning von Parsenow to captain of Ueckermünde . The same acquired Lütken Toitin (Klein Toitin), Bentzin , Sadow and Zarrenthin von Hasse von der Schulenburg in 1515 . The von Heyden family did not become indirect successors until the 19th century .

The brick-roofed plastered building of the Alt Jargenow chapel in Renaissance style , a small hall made of flooded mixed masonry, was built in 1625 on behalf of Christoph Altwig von Blixen in memory of his first wife Sabina von Parsenow, who died that same year. This is reported by the inscription on a coat of arms stone originally embedded in the eastern gable triangle, now set up inside the building for conservation reasons, on which the coats of arms of both families, surrounded by two allegorical female figures, can be seen.

Philipp Joachim von Parsenow auf Toitin , who was cavalry master and military subcontractor for Christoph Bernhard von Galen , Prince-Bishop of Munster during the Dutch War 1672–1674, owned all of the Ostenschen goods between 1674 and 1695 , including Schmarsow , Roidin , Teusin, and Wittenwerder Japzow acquired for 22,000 guilders or 20,000 thalers. This was preceded by a marriage contract which he received from Schmarsow in 1681 and various property disputes within the von Maltzahn family with interested parties from outside, such as the Duke of Courland or the Baroness of Mardefelt . The purchase condition was, however, that Gut Schmarsow should revert to the Maltzahns in the event of the Parsenow's extinction. He built the manor house called Schmarsow Castle . Tutow , Zemmin and Müssentin, however, were old fiefdoms of the von Horn family . 1707 these fell to the Parsenow and in 1753 were divided among the sons of the district administrator Philipp Erdmann von Parsenow. In 1750 the Parsenow created the Borgwall suburb . Field Marshal Count Kurt Christoph von Schwerin also bought the Murchin estate around 1750, but bequeathed it to his nephew von Parsenow in 1757. They also owned Libnow as a fief from the Crown of Sweden . When Libnow was released from the feudal nexus, it was bought in 1792 to Count Friedrich Ludwig von Bohlen on Carlsburg . With Peter Friedrich Wichard Carl Philipp von Parsenow, the younger line of Parsow went out on November 6th, 1820, the older line, which now united all goods in one hand, also went out on April 16, 1830 with Friedrich Wilhelm Ludwig Erich Carl von Parsenow . Several branches of the von Maltzahn family tried to regain possession of their previous fiefdom in lengthy processes, which only succeeded in 1844 and only for a short time.

Some of the family's daughters were married to influential husbands. So Elisabeth von Parsenow († 1744) with the royal Prussian lieutenant general, governor of Breslau and knight of the black eagle order , Arnold Christoph von Waldow (* 1672; † 1743) or the district administrator's daughter Magdalene Sophie von Parsenow (* 1747; † 1822), with the royal Prussian lieutenant general, war minister and knight of the Pour le Mérite , Heinrich Gottlieb von Kannewurf (* 1726, † 1799).

Relatives

coat of arms

The family coat of arms has undergone many changes in the course of time, the earliest representations show a human head in silver (later gold) between an open black flight (later shown as a silver angel's head with black wings). On the helmet with black-silver helmet covers a growing , silver-clad man between two black wings (later represented as a growing angel with black wings). According to Friedrich Crull, however, a seal from 1430 certainly does not show an angel's head, but rather a rose between two bird legs - which means that there is a coat of arms related to those of von Kleinow ( von Clenow ) and von Hagenow , among others .
