The Pomeiske family , originally Hirsch von Pomeiske , Hirsch-Pomoyski , Pomoiske or Pomeisski , were a Pomeranian noble family that later spread to Silesia . The family died today.

history

The origins of the family are unclear. There is no evidence as to whether it belongs to the indigenous Kashubian nobility in the state of Bütow or whether it came from Pomesania under the Teutonic Order . As early as the 14th century, the Hirsch family was given the place of Groß Pomeiske by the order. The family made the place their ancestral home and borrowed their name from Pomeiske . In the days of the Teutonic Order, every noble estate had the duty to provide a riding horse; In 1438, Hans von Pomoiske is the only one named among the knights in the interest table who has two riding horses. Around 1724 the Pomeiske family lived in three different places called Pomeiske in the Bütow region: in Groß Pomeiske, Pomeiske and Klein Pomeiske, and also in Zabinowitz. With Nikolaus Alexander von Pomeiske (* 1717, † 1785) the family produced a Prussian lieutenant general who achieved some reputation under Frederick the Great . He had two sons, but they did not survive. With the death of Nikolaus Alexander von Pomeiske, the Pomeiske family also died out.

Alexander Nikolaus von Pomeiske founded a family fideikommiss by will of May 12, 1785 and placed the obligation on the respective owner of the Groß Pomeiske estate to use the name and coat of arms of the Pomeiske family in addition to his own name. After the family died out, their property fell to the Lettow-Klenzin family . When the newly founded Lettow-Pomeiske branch went out again on January 29, 1840 with Ewald Georg Friedrich von Lettow-Pomeiske, Otto Friedrich von Schwerdtner received the estate on January 26, 1845 at Ilkendorf near Nossen in Saxony for himself and his owners respective descendants the right to call themselves Schwerdtner-Pomeiske and to use the Pomeiskesche coat of arms in addition to the ancestral family coat of arms. This line of the Schwerdtner family continues to this day.
