Rabenau (noble family)
Rabenau is the name of a family line of the Meissen nobility , which probably goes back to servants of the Margraves of Meissen . The family's headquarters are in Rabenau near Dresden .
The family is not related to the Hessian noble family Nordeck zur Rabenau and also not to the Solms noble family von Rabenau (whose ancestral seat was Rabenau or Rabenscheid , a desert between Braunfels and Tiefenbach ) , who were wealthy in Leun .
history
The family first appeared in a document with Burchardus de Rabinowe in 1235 as the feudal lord of the Burgraves of Dohna at Rabenau Castle . The family left their ancestral seat and the region around the Rote Weißeritz as early as the 13th century, before the Dohna feud led to a conflict between their lords and the Margraves of Meißen. The direct line of trunks begins around 1311 with Apetzko von Rabenau , landlord on Braunau near Guhrau in ( Lower Silesia ).
From 1657 to 1721 the Strahwalde manor was owned by the family.
