history
Philipp von Prignitz wrote a mortgage note to the Heiligengrabe Monastery in 1498. His relatives Samuel and Claus von Prignitz appeared as witnesses.
In the course of the Reformation , Busso von Havelberg had the pastor of Fincken , who was under the protection of his Lutheran landlord Philipp von Prignitz, arrested and arrested in 1535 . Detached from the delicate matter as such, since the Bishop of Havelberg in Mecklenburg had no sovereign powers and Brandenburg had long since followed the Reformation, the process resulted in some preserved correspondence, as documented by Lisch .
The Lords of Prignitz owned one of the two knight seats in Wutike in the Prignitz . Also in the Prignitz they owned Ellershagen and for a long time Rönnebeck near Sonnenberg . In Mecklenburg were named after Ledebur Bülow bei Güstrow (1610), Blumenow (1600) and Dannenwalde bei Fürstenberg (1506-1628) and Fincken bei Wredenhagen (1506-1628) owned by the lords of Prignitz. After closing the gentlemen of Prignitz in 1600 also from old times the villages Nätebow where they also church patronage occupied, Bollewick and Below possessed.
With Johann Christoph von Prignitz, who remained in command of the Prussian Infantry Regiment No. 5 in front of Roßbach on November 5, 1757 , the family found its way out into the male line .
