Schimmelpenninck (noble family)
The noble family of the Schimmelpenninck (van der Oye) (also Schimmelpfennig von der Oye ) came from the Dutch city of Zutphen .
history
In the 14th century, the first family members were members of the local government elite of Zutphen. These patricians fulfilled the offices of mayor and Schepen . The members of the Schimmelpenninck van der Oye family entered into marriages with important noble families of Overijssel and Gelderland .
In the 16th century, an illegitimate family branch, simply called Schimmelpenninck, split off, which family members were active as wine merchants in the area around Zutphen and Deventer . At the beginning of the 19th century, the political success of Rutger Jan Schimmelpenninck raised him to the new Dutch count . In 1799 he acquired Nijenhuis Castle near Diepenheim , which still belongs to his descendants today.
Also some extramarital Schimmelpennincks carried the French title of count, which was bestowed on them by Napoleon Bonaparte . The noble main branch Schimmelpenninck van der Oye has held the title of baron since that time .
The Prussian line was founded by the brothers Alexander and Christoph, who left their fatherland in 1602 as a result of religious disputes, bought into the Archdiocese of Warmia and changed the name to Schimmelpfennig.
