Coat of arms of the von Ribbeck

Ribbeck is the name of an ancient aristocratic family from Brandenburg with the parent company of the same name Ribbeck near Nauen in Havelland .

prehistory

Emperor Lothar III. (1075–1137) had enfeoffed Count Albrecht von Brandenburg (1100–1170) with the Nordmark in 1134 . After Albrecht had conquered this area, he was raised to the status of " Margrave of Brandenburg". To secure his rule, he called - together with the Magdeburg Archbishop Wichmann von Seeburg - settlers into the country. The knights among them - nobles - received lands from the margrave as fiefs. In the feudal letter of the Elector Johann Cicero , dated 1485, eight members of the von Ribbeck family in Ribbeck were enfeoffed with three goods to "gesampter hannt". In return, they pledged to do military service, to cultivate the land and to spread the Christian faith. Presumably the von Ribbeck family also came here in the course of this immigration from the west of the empire.

history

The first named Ribbeck is Heinricus de Ritbeke, canon and priest at St. Gotthard in Brandenburg , who is mentioned in a document on August 4th, 1237. That Henricus de Ritbeke was a priest at the Sankt Gotthard Church in Brandenburg can be seen from the following text:

"214. The Convent of the Brandenburg Monastery confirms the donation from the Bishopric Germand. Brandenburg 1237. Aug 4 .: "... Hujus autem rei testes sunt: ​​Heinricus de Ritbeke, plebanus de sancto Godohardo, [...] date Brandenburg anno Domini MCCXXXVII, 1st Nonas Augusti." ( German : ... the following witnesses: Henricus Ritbeke, people priest from St. Gotthard ... "

- Walkenrieder Diplomator fol. 14b).

In 1282 Johann von Ribbeck is mentioned in a document. The presence of the family in the village of Ribbeck has been documented in the land register of Emperor Charles IV since 1375. The reliable line of the family begins with Asmus von Ribbeck (1485–1508 documented on Ribbeck). The sex was divided into two lines in the 16th century:

  • the Osthavelländische line on Glienicke ; it begins with Georg von Ribbeck (1523–1593).
  • the West Havelland line on Ribbeck; it begins with Christoph von Ribbeck (1524 – before 1600).
Wall relief in the Seegefeld village church

Some members of this noble family are buried in the former village church of Seegefeld (which today belongs to the town of Falkensee ). A wall relief names, for example, "Theodosia von Ribbeck † 1781" and "Hans George von Ribbeck - Alb: Leop: Elis.von Erxleben 1781". The Bagow manor house was owned by the family from 1772 to 1944. After forced administration and expropriation, descendants bought the mansion and the property back in 1997. The properties in Groß Glienicke, Hoppenrade, Dyrotz, Seegefeld, Dallgow, Neuendorf, Boßdorf, Assau and Horst as well as the Ribbeck house in Berlin's Breitestrasse were sold again by the East Havelland branch of the family in difficult times. The Lords of Ribbeck became widely known through Theodor Fontane's poem Herr von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck in Havelland . The real model for Fontane's figure was probably Hans Georg von Ribbeck (1689–1759), who was known for being child-friendly.

Two important centuries

In the 19th and 20th centuries, the same applies to the family, as it was to other manor owners, to market-oriented production in agriculture and the expansion of the estates . “The first known feudal letter about Ribbeck from 1485 shows that there were already several estates in the place at that time: Parts of Ribbeck and his brothers lived on a knight's seat, which included four Hufen land, and Klaus and owned a second Peter von Ribbeck. Furthermore, a certain Asmus von Ribbeck lived on a former farm… ”. In addition to the landowners , civil servants , officers , clergymen and scholars emerged from the Brandenburg family . The family extensions caused by marriage found their kinship connections with the families von Bredow , von Witzleben , von Hammerstein-Equord , von der Schulenburg , von der Hagen , von Hake and other families. During the National Socialist rule in Germany there were different behaviors to National Socialism. From the East Haveland line, Dr. jur. Hans Georg von Ribbeck (1904–1987) member of the NSDAP , SS-Untersturmführer , District Administrator von Soldin ( Neumark ) (1939) and from 1940 to 1944 a military administrator in France . From 1959 to 1969 was in the civil service of the FRG and government director .

Stumbling block for Hans-Georg Karl Anton von Ribbeck in Ribbeck (2017)

On the other hand, there was Hans Georg Karl Anton von Ribbeck auf Ribbeck from the West Haevel line, Rittmeister in the First World War , in the Weimar Republic a member of the " Stahlhelm, Bund der Frontsoldaten ". He resisted being taken over into the SA and did not belong to any organized resistance movement. In July 1934 he was brought into connection with the " Röhm Putsch " and briefly imprisoned. However, at the intercession of Hindenburg, he was released again. In May 1944 he was arrested again as an "enemy of the people" due to an incident in the Ribbeck fields and imprisoned in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp . He died here in February 1945. Hans Georg Friedrich-Karl (* 1939) was the last owner of Ribbeck from 1933 to 1943. In October 1945, as part of the land reform in East Germany , the division of the property began and the Ribbecks were forced to leave the village on September 21, 1945. With an exception, Henning von Ribbeck managed to manage a small settlement . With the order of the Soviet military administration of August 24, 1947 (order 6080), all property claims were revised and the Ribbecks, as well as the other Brandenburg landowners and managers, were expelled. The Ribbeck family did not go to the Perleberg district , as ordered, but moved to their relatives in West Berlin , and later moved to West Germany.

New beginning

After the end of the German Democratic Republic , a settlement was finally reached in 1999 after a number of legal processes . "With this they were compensated with money on the basis of the unit value of 1935 - waiving their previously judicially established right to return." The two lines are now reunited, Dietrich von Ribbeck and his wife Cosima bought and expanded a four-sided farm in Ribbeck . Friedrich-Carl von Ribbeck, grandson of the last Herr von Ribbeck and Bagow , has returned to Ribbeck. He bought back the completely dilapidated old carriage horse stable opposite Ribbeck Castle and the former distillery in Ribbeck, rebuilt it together with his wife Ute and set himself the goal of continuing the 777-year-old family tradition in Ribbeck together with his cousin Dietrich. The castle is still owned by the Havelland district , it was renovated in 2007 to conform to the monument and serves as the center of Havelland tourism as a stop for visitors with a restaurant, museum and conference venue.
