history

The origin of the name "Poll" probably goes back to a Westphalian place called Poll or Polle. With Tilo and Andreas de Polle, the wierland vassals of the King of Denmark Christoph II (1276–1332) are notarized in 1325 . The progenitor of the ösel line is Hans Polle, who acquired the Cöln estate in 1498. His sons Bartholomäus (* around 1522) and Johann continued the offspring. While the Bartholomäus family line was later divided into the I. line (Haus Randefer ) and II. Line (Haus Cöln), and founded a Swedish branch that received the naturalization diploma in 1672, line III emerged from the Johannian line. (House Wexholm) who settled in Courland . The Kurlanders later returned to Ösel and were again part of lines I and II. Finally, the family was included in the nobility matriculation of the knighthood of Ösel, in 1839/1914 in Livonia and Estonia . Her properties on Ösel included: Medel , Wexholm, Clausholm, Wesselsdorf, Arromois , Cöln, Euküll , Feckerorth, Lulupäh , Pichtendahl , Rachk , Rannaküll and Turja .
