from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Family coat of arms of the von Rönne family

The von Rönne family is an old and respected aristocratic family from the Duchy of Bremen , still existing in Germany today , and from the first half of the 15th century in Livonia , Courland and later also in Samogitia . Also found in Denmark from the 16th and 17th centuries . Also settled in Pomerania in the 18th century .

In the Duchy of Bremen and the surrounding area

The family was already chivalrous at the time of Archbishop Johann Rode (Archbishop from 1496–1511). The von Rönne family had had lands in the parish to Osten an der Oste since 1450: In 1450, Diederich von Rönne received the court to the east from Archbishop Gerhard III. to Lehn. In 1500 Diederich, Claus and Erich von Rönne lived in the Duchy of Bremen. Until 1650, the family owned the east parish in Lehn and the inheritance title to the court. The flowing river from the family coat of arms became the official seal of the parish. A river still adorns the city's coat of arms in parts of the east. The male descendants of the von Rönne family died out in the parish from Osten after 1650.

In 1692, Mr. Johann von Rönne near Ahlerstedt , on a very swampy place with a lot of effort, built a noble court . The family lived in Ahlerstedt and Altersdorf bei Osten until 1777.

In Denmark

Claus von Rönne, who was a captain in the army of the Danish king, also came from this family. He stayed in Denmark after his military service and founded the Danish branch of the von Rønne family. The family bought the Holredrupgard estate along with others. Two well-known names from this tribe are Otto von Rønne, Danish major , and Eylard von Rønne, who was slain at the gates of Trier at a young age and without children . Further descendants of this line have not been described.

In Pomerania

In 1720 in Zuchow and 1749 in Dübsov near Regenwald .

In Livonia, Courland and Lithuania

The first von Rönne mentioned in Livonia was Mr. Johann Renne the Canon of Dorpat around 1340 . Also called captain of the Ronneburg.

In the registers of the 15th century in Livonia they are named with a hereditary title of nobility ( baron ) and listed as landowners. The family does not belong to the Livonian nobility .

At the beginning of the 16th century, the family was divided into two pedigrees. The older one in Pilten , but the other in Courland . There was already an estate in Courland called Rennes in 1567, this is the family's common name in Russian-speaking countries; It is no longer possible to say whether the identity of the names was a coincidence. The lands near Pilten and Kurland included the goods Appusen, drugs and Dahmen. Later on, the Rönne family owned lands in Samogitia , for example Scharcken and Turlauken , through hereditary titles .

The remaining in Livonia branch of the family has emigrated in the 16th century or extinct be, because until the end of the 17th century (1693) is another of Ronne in the parish registers called.

The most famous representative of this tribe was Carl Ewald von Rönne, a Russian general and knight of the Order of Saint Andrew , the Polish White Eagle Order and the Prussian Order De la Générosité . The Russian Tsar Peter I elevated Carl Ewald von Rönne to the rank of baron in 1712 . His son Carl Freiherr von Roenne was raised to the status of Polish baron in 1732 with the award of a new coat of arms.

At the end of the 16th century the von Rönne also settled in Lithuania. They are settling in North Zemaitija. Here Felix Baron von Rönne was the most famous family member. He was the Polish chamberlain to King Stanislaus II and was awarded the Order of St. Stanislaus in August 1799 . In the award certificate he is titled as a baron. In the possession of the family branch were several goods z. B. Renavas (Rennow), Gargsdai, furthermore Hlinowka, Obakie and Zawierz.

Coat of arms of the Baltic Barons of Roenne

coat of arms

  • The family coat of arms of the Rönne shows a silver wavy bar in red . A natural deciduous tree on the red and silver puffed helmet with red and silver helmet covers . The tree resembles a mountain ash , in some Scandinavian countries the mountain ash is also called Rönnebaum or Rönne . Another reason for origin could have been an earlier fiefdom near the Rönne. This was a watercourse from a moor to the Oste .
  • The coat of arms of the Baltic Barons von Roenne from 1732 is split over the golden shield base with two blue wavy bars, on the right in red an inward-looking silver eagle, on the left in silver a golden lily. On the helmet with red and silver covers on the right, blue and gold covers on the left, three (red, gold, silver) ostrich feathers.
