Petersdorff is the name of two aristocratic families who are not related and have different coats of arms and whose home is in the Mark Brandenburg and in the Duchy of Pomerania . Both sexes later spread widely u. a. to Mecklenburg , Braunschweig , Prussia and Denmark . Branches of the families currently exist and have been organized in a common family association since 1904 and 1968 respectively.

history

The Petersdorff family from Brandenburg

The Petersdorff from Brandenburg have their presumed parent company near Lebus and were first mentioned in a document with Heyno van Peterstorp zu Wittmannsdorf near Templin on January 15, 1304. The continuous line of trunks begins with Peter Peterstorp , who in 1364 sold six hooves in Willmersdorf to the cathedral chapter in Lebus .

For Leo von Petersdorff (1830-1904), to whom his wife Tusnelda von Campen (1836-1897), the last of her family, inherited the Kirchberg and Ildehausen estates in the Gandersheim district in 1863 , a Mecklenburg-Strelitz naming association took place in Neustrelitz on February 16, 1887 from Petersdorff-Camping . All members of the family living today come from those named and are called von Petersdorff-Campen .

The dynasty partly owned estates in Brandenburg, Pomerania, Mecklenburg, Silesia and Lauenburg until the 19th century . The Kirchberg estate is still owned by the family.

The von Pederstorff family lived in Mecklenburg for four generations. From here they moved further west and south 200 years later. Since they neither signed the Union of Estates in 1523 nor took part in the allocation of the monasteries in 1572, they are not counted among the native nobility of the country. The Indigenat they were carrying at the time.

Bogislav Ernst von Petersdorff, who was born in Ziesendorf near Schwaan before 1630 and bought Brüel in 1660 , belonged to the 1st Mecklenburg House . On February 12, 1658, he married Anna Margaretha von Warnstädt, who came from Bibow , in Brüel . In addition to Ziesendorf (746 ha), he owned in Lüsewitz (1408 ha) and in Gustävel with Schönlage (1355 ha) from 1701 to 1713. He was a ducal Mecklenburg district administrator, court judge and governor of Lübz and Crivitz . His grave slab is in the city ​​church of Brüel . His son Levin Detlef, born in Brüel in 1662, died in Moravia in 1685 as a lieutenant from the Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg in the war against the Turks. His epitaph hangs in the town church in Brüel.

Hans von Petersdorff auf Witzin belonged to the 2nd Mecklenburg house . He was married twice and had 33 children and grandchildren. Constantly on the road in the war, he acquired Witzin (426 ha) in 1625 and Lübzin (600 ha) in 1651 with rights to Boitin . In the Mecklenburg service he was in 1627 as Rittmeister envoy at Wallenstein in Bohemia . His eleventh son, Hans Georg von Petersdorf, born in Witzin in 1642, was provisional agent in the Dobbertin monastery from 1682 to 1693.

In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery from 1696 to 1918 there are four entries by daughters of the von Petersdorff families from 1711 to 1872 for inclusion in the noble women's monastery there . The coat of arms of the conventual Catharina Sophia von Petersdorffen from the Witzin house, who came to the monastery in 1747, is located on the southern prayer box on the nuns gallery in the monastery church .

The Pomeranian family Petersdorff

The Pomeranian Petersdorff were first mentioned in a document with Gisbertus and Wilhelmus de Petirsdorf in 1298 at the University of Bologna . As early as the 15th century, the Jacobsdorf, Grossenhagen and Buddendorf lines, named after the main estates and not embedded in a secured, contiguous trunk line, can be identified.

The Pomeranian Petersdorff were initially only wealthy in Western Pomerania , mainly in the Naugard district . At the beginning of the 20th century the family owned Buddendorf (649 ha ), Burow (172 ha), Großenhagen (790 ha), Jacobsdorf, Korkenhagen (155 ha), Lütkenhagen (515 ha), Matzdorf, Puddenzig (468 ha) , Resehl (699 ha) and Speck.

From the Buddendorf line, the Danish chamberlain Christian von Petersdorff (1762–1813) was raised to the Danish liege count on June 20, 1810 after his uncle by marriage, liege Ulrik Wilhelm de Roespstorff, signed over his property at Kørup and Einsidelsborg . The Danish house went out with Paul Ludvig von Petersdorff , († 1919) in the male line .

The Jacobsdorf and Grossenhagen lines currently exist.
