history
Berengar von Rundstedt appears as the first verifiable relatives in 1109 in a document in which Ludolf, the cathedral provost of the Halberstadt diocese , appointed Berengar as bailiff of the Halberstadt diocese in his will. The same Berengar also appears in a document in Gardelegen on May 25, 1133. In 1331 the Rundstedts appear for the first time near Gardelegen, where their later ancestral estates Badingen and Schönfeld were, when the Ascanian margraves of Brandenburg gave one of their castle men lumber in a document, which also included Heinrich von Ronstede , heir to Hohen-Tramm is mentioned. Around this time the Rundstedts owned Badingen and shortly afterwards also Schönfeld, where Hermann von Ronstede is the first of the family to be found. Jan von Rundstedt was already wealthy in Hohenwulsch around 1375 .
The line of tribe begins with Jobst von Rundstedt († 1557), heir to Badingen, who in 1536 paid homage to Elector Joachim II of Brandenburg together with his co-genus Hermann , heir to Schönfeld . A tombstone fragment in the village church of Döbbelin from the 17th century shows the profile of Henning von Rundstedt .
Otto Heinrich Eberhard von Rundstedt (1831–1890) had Schönfeld Palace built in 1873 and, together with his wife Elisabeth von Stumm , founded the neo-Gothic Gutskirche Schönfeld in the early 1880s .
The Badingen and Schönfeld estates remained in the family's possession until they were expropriated in 1945 as part of the land reform in the then Soviet zone of occupation . After the reunification , both goods were reclaimed from the trust by the heirs of the dispossessed . Since these were defeated in the administrative proceedings and in the subsequent legal dispute, the heirs partially leased their old estate from the trust. Finally Hubertus von Rundstedt bought part of the old manor buildings from the Treuhand and moved with his family to Schönfeld.
