Coats of arms of those of Pogwisch and the relatives of von Wisch

Pogwisch was the name of an influential knight family in the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein that belonged to the Equites Originarii . The name is derived from the Low German pog "frog" and wisch "meadow". The family formed different lines and became extinct in the male tribe in 1845.

It was related to the von Wulf and von der Wisch family in tribal and coat of arms .

history

The family first appears in a document in 1283 with the brothers Marquard and Alhed , sons of Thetlev de Pokkevisk , with whom the line of tribe begins. Marquard Pogwisch is mentioned in the oldest Kiel city book in 1322 and 1325. Knight Otto Pogwisch from Bistenkesse (Bissee, later Bothkamp ), founded the Bordesholm monastery in 1327 as an Augustinian canons monastery , where the Pogwisch and Wisch had their burial place.

Henning von Pogwisch (* around 1420) is the first family member mentioned in a document on Gut Farve . It is possible that his father Benedikt, who died in Sweden in 1432, founded the estate. Farve belonged to the Pogwisch family until 1662, when it was inherited by the von Blome family. From 1475 to 1625 the Dobersdorf estate was owned by the Pogwisch and from 1534 to 1646 the Hagen Castle (Probsteierhagen) , as well as the Maasleben estate .

Wulf Pogwisch (around 1485–1554) was ducal and royal councilor to Frederick I and had great political influence in the Kingdom of Denmark. His brother Bertram von Pogwisch († around 1600 in Kassel) was strictly Catholic and claimed ownership of the Bordesholm monastery, which was secularized in 1566.

Several abbesses of the Itzehoe monastery emerged from the Pogwisch family .

Goethe's son August von Goethe (1789–1830) married Ottilie von Pogwisch (1796–1872) in 1817 . She lived with her three children (and at times her sister Ulrike von Pogwisch) for 15 years with her father-in-law in his house on Frauenplan in Weimar, where she later died.
