Schedingen
The von Schedingen , also called von Scheiding, were an old Westphalian noble family from Scheidingen near Werl .
history
The family first appeared in a document in 1233 with the knight Antonius von Schedingen , when he was named in the entourage of Count von Arnsberg . In the Cologne area, members appear more and more in witness service. The Scheidingen family on Scheidingen died out around 1450 and the Scheidingen house was sold. The last to appear in 1538 was Johann von Scheidingen, Droste zu Werl, with whom the family seems to have died out.
The von Scheding family is mentioned in a document in Latvia as councilors of Riga in the 15th century and in Livonia in the 16th century . In the Hanseatic St. Petri Church in Riga, the von Scheden (or von Scheding) had their hereditary burial in the north aisle, which they later bequeathed to the Ulenbrock family and which was grouped there under the name Ulenbrocksche Kapelle. This line became extinct in the second half of the 16th century.
