Plüskow is the name of a long-established Mecklenburg noble family with the Plüschow parent company of the same name in the Grevesmühlen office . Branches of the family still exist today.

history

origin

The family is first mentioned with Plocekowe Leverus , who appears in documents from 1230 to 1234. The line of the family begins around 1450 with Johann von Plüskow on Everstorf (today part of Grevesmühlen).

The name is based on the parent company of the same name, now Plüschow , in the Grevesmühlen-Land office . The headquarters originally belonged to Schwerin Abbey . The spelling changed between Plocecow, Pluzekow, Pleutekow, Plüssekow and Plüskow.

Spread and personalities

Members of the sex occupied the hereditary marshal's office in Schwerin Abbey at an early age . Hermann von Plüskow appears in 1430 as cathedral dean at Güstrow .

Later, members of the family also received high-ranking officers and general posts in the Danish-Norwegian and Prussian armies . At the beginning of the 18th century, two brothers were ducal Mecklenburg district administrators. A Plüskow was a kk colonel , became major general in 1710 and died in 1718 as a lieutenant field marshal in Hungary .

According to Kneschke , the male line of the sex died out at the end of the 18th century. The last two male representatives from Trechow were Felix Christoph Heinrich and Julius Friedrich von Plüskow. The daughter Henriette Sophie Albertine Magdalene von Plüskow from the Trechow family married Johann Christoph Philipp Ludwig Suhr auf Trechow on June 23, 1783, the ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerin chief stables . On October 4, 1783, he received the imperial nobility in Vienna , which was recognized by a rescript on June 4, 1784 in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. The coat of arms awarded is similar to that of the Mecklenburg prehistoric nobility. He comes from a family whose lineage begins with Christian Souhr († 1671), Arenndator ( estate manager ) zu Klein-Helle (now part of Mölln ) in the Stavenhagen office . In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are ten entries by daughters of the von Plüskow families from Trechow from the years 1710–1893 for inclusion in the aristocratic women's monastery . In the cloister of the monastery is the grave slab of Agnesa Johanna von Plüskow, who died in 1748.

At that time, the 2.08 m tall guard officer Hermann Otto Hugo Ferdinand von Plüskow , who was the wing adjutant of Emperor Wilhelm II of Prussia , caused a stir . In Berlin and Potsdam he was generally called the "long Plüskow". The emperor always took him on visits abroad. In the First World War he was General of the Infantry Commander of the XI. Army Corps .

Possessions

Everstorf is one of the family estates. Around 1600 branches of the Groß- and Klein-Walmstorf family were owned by the Grevesmühlen office. In addition, Benitz in the Schwaan office , Kobrow in the Güstrow office and in 1698 and later Langen- and Kurzen-Trechow were owned or partially owned by the family.

Relatives in Mecklenburg were wealthy until the beginning of the 20th century . These included Todenhagen, Belitz, Everstorf, Kobrow, Kowalz, Katelbogen, Brödelwitz, Daskow, Ahrenshagen (Güstrow), Berendshagen and Klein-Gäschow. The family estate Plüschow, however, went to the Hamburg merchant Philipp Heinrich von Stenglin in 1758 and came into the possession of the (grand) ducal family in 1802. At the end of the 17th century, Hans Adolph von Plüskow and his son Paschen, Brönkow and Turow, also owned goods in Swedish Pomerania.

coat of arms

The original coat of arms shows a transversely divided shield (shield head), which is again divided diagonally below. Later the shield is divided by a left silver cross point of red and gold. On the helmet with red and silver helmet covers on the right and red and gold on the left is a brown rod, around which a silver snake winds between two golden stag poles.

The Mecklenburg families of Negendanck and Parkentin were coats of arms . "It is possible and even probable that all of these families with the same shield are originally related, as their old estates are not very far apart either. And so it is easily possible that the progenitors of the Negendank and von Plüskow families from Holstein Mecklenburg immigrated during the Germanization of this country, "said Georg Christian Friedrich Lisch . According to Lisch's research, the coat of arms was originally a shield that was split across. The upper part did not take up half of it, but rather a third (like a shield head ), while the lower part was divided diagonally into itself. The lower division turned into the apex over time.
