Von Renteln is the name of a patrician family in Hanover known as early as the 13th century , which also belonged to the late medieval patriciate in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck under the name of Rentelen and belongs to the families of the circle society .

history

According to a fiefdom register created in 1304 , the three brothers "Adolfus, Thidericus [= Dietrich ] et Hermannus de Rintelen" owned three Hufen Land in Ymene ( Ihmen , today Ihme-Roloven ). But according to the document book of the city of Hanover (see literature), Adolf was first mentioned in 1297 and his brother Hermannus was first mentioned in 1299 .

Of the three brothers, however, the councilor and governor Dietrich von Rintelen was the most famous. His widow Ghese (= Gertrud ) and his two sons Johannes and Adolf transferred an annual pension from a meadow near Ricklingen to the St. Nikolai Hospital on August 10, 1329 .

It is also documented that the city council of Hanover decided on January 7, 1369 on a lawsuit brought by the brothers Johann and Dietrich von Rinteln in Danzig against a Friedrich Lange .

Bearers of the names of those von Rinteln and von Rintelen can also be traced back to around 1500 in the Hanoverian citizen registers (" Liber burgensium ").

The family came to Lübeck in the 14th century when they returned from the Baltic Sea region with Henning von Rentelen from Riga . His son of the same name Henning von Rentelen was elected mayor of Lübeck in the second generation as a citizen of Lübeck and was accepted into the circle society . In the list of Lübeck councilors , those of Rentelen are represented several times up into the 16th century. The family's burial place in Lübeck was in the Maria-Magdalenenkirche (Lübeck) , which Henning von Rentelen donated the Katharinen altar at the top of the south side of the new choir as well as the choir window above . A separate chapel is not mentioned. The reredos of the altar contained five statues of saints.

The coat of arms is handed down in a scratch drawing on the grave slab of Dietrich von Rinteln . It shows three roses on a pole in an upside-down triangle with rounded corners.
