Coat of arms of those of Rumohr

Rumohr is the name of a non-immigrant Holstein prehistoric noble family that appears for the first time in the area around the Westensee near Kiel . It is the same tribe and coat of arms with those of Ahlefeld (t) and the dead of Bosendahl († approx. 1335) and of Rastorp († 1749). They can all be traced back to the Lords of Perdöl .

The form of the name fluctuated between Rughemor (rough moor), Rummore and Rumor. They belong to the Equites Originarii , the traditional families of Holsteins and Stormarns .

history

The brothers Benedictus et Scacco de Prodole (Benedikt and Schack von Perdöl), who first appeared in documents in 1220 and 1221, are considered to be the first representatives of the von Ahlefeldt and von Rumohr families . A "Scacco de Rumore" is also mentioned in documents in 1245 and 1253. He called himself after the village Rumohr southwest of Kiel. It is thought that between the Family Association of Perdöl'schen tribes and the Ammoniden a duty , if not consisted family connection.

While the Ahlefeldts have named themselves after their progenitor Benedict for centuries, the Rumohrs have kept the name Schack for the same reason, but alternating from grandfather to grandson with Schack (1245/53) - Benedict (1283/89) - Schack (1308) - Benedict - Schack (1351) - Benedict (1408) etc. Otherwise the names Heinrich, Otto and Marquard were the most common. There were also many cross-marriages between the two families of the same tribe, as can be proven 26 times.

The reliable trunk line begins with Henneke Rumohr († after 1449). The members of the von Rumohr family living today - with the exception of the Norwegian branch - descend from Christian August 3. von Rumohr (1757–1798), lord of the Rundhof , Drülle and Östergaard .

The Rumohr family farm and other property in Blumental were later transferred to Ahlefeldt's possession. In 1557, as the husband of Eybe Sehestedt († 1564) , Henneke Rumohr († 1569) was awarded the property of his wife's family after an inheritance dispute, Rundhof , which is still owned by the von Rumohr family today. The manor house in Rundhof, also often referred to as a castle, was built between 1753 and 1755. Also to this day, the Lords of Rumohr have owned the nearby Drält estate . In the same area, Gut Roest (1498–1797) and Gut Toestorf, which was separated from it in 1670, were in Rumohr's hands for more than 300 years. The Roest mansion, consisting of two gabled houses, was built by Asmus von Rumohr (right wing, 1590) and his grandson Heinrich (left wing, 1641).

Asmus Rumohr († 1590) traveled to Brussels as a councilor to the court of Emperor Charles V. Cai von Rumohr († 1714) was in diplomatic service for Copenhagen at the Dresden court. His nephew Cai von Rumohr († 1770) was considered one of the "impeccable aristocratic princely councilors" at the Holstein-Gottorf court and was co-guardian of the ducal princes. His son Henning Bendix von Rumohr († 1777) took over the government authority in the diocese of Lübeck under Duke Friedrich August von Oldenburg as the prince-bishop's council . The Danish major general Detlef von Rumohr died in 1678 near Stralsund. Vice-Admiral Detlev-Christian von Rumohr († 1808) was also in Danish military service. Wulf-Henning von Rumohr († 1862) contributed to the political formation of Schleswig-Holstein in the revolution of 1848 . The art historian, writer, draftsman and painter Carl Friedrich von Rumohr (1785–1843) paved the way for modern, critical research in art history with his writings.

But a branch of the family also settled in Norway almost 400 years ago. There the parent houses Rikheim bei Lærdal (bought in 1667) and Frønningen are still owned by the Rumohr family by the Sognefjord .
