Raboisen (also: Raboysen, Roboyze) was the name of an old Holstein noble family .

history

The Raboisen were a knightly noble family and appeared several times in documents as vassals of the Schauenburg sovereigns. They came from the knights of Barmstede . The founder of the branch was Lambert I. von Barmstede († 1211).

The name was first mentioned in a document in 1257 (Hermann de Raboyso) and again in 1275 as de Raboyse . Other forms of the name were de Raboyen (1286) and de Raboyen (1309). They owned a castle near Elmshorn and other possessions in Blankenese , Hahnenkamp near Elmshorn, Berne , Oldenfelde Seester Wastenfelde and a house or medieval tower in Hamburg, which was first mentioned in 1308 and demolished in 1730. Today a street is named after him. Around 1367 they sold the rest of their goods to their uncle Otto von Wensien , after whom they had pledged it to the knights of Krummendiek, who owned goods in Elmshorn. The resulting dispute was settled by an arbitration award in 1368. In 1542 Clement von der Wisch bought the Raboise farm, the former seat of the knights in Raa, for the Uetersen monastery .

She was closely related to the von Barmstede family. The family died out in the 14th century; several streets and a special school (Raboisenschule) in Elmshorn are named after them.

Around 1385 there was also a Raboysen family in the Plön area. In the privileges of the city of Plön , granted by Count Adolf von Schauenburg, the city and castle area were mutually delimited. The castle area in front of Plön Castle consisted of five Wurten, one of which Virgarte Raboytze lived in. To this day it is not clear what connection it was with the family. There is a presumption that she was connected to Lüder von Raboisen.
