Schladen (modern noble family)
Schladen is the name of a noble family belonging to the Archbishopric of Magdeburg , which later became a respected Pfänner and councilor family in Staßfurt .
The family is not to be equated with or confused with the nobles and counts of Schladen , who are of the same tribe as the nobles of Dorstadt , and who have held Schladen castle and rule since the beginning of the 12th century and found their way out with Albert († 1353) . Research has not yet been able to provide evidence of a tribal relationship .
history
The family first appears in a document in 1429 with Meinhard von Schladen on Schneitlingen and in 1435 with Kersten von Slathen in Gotha . Anna von Schladen , Abbess von Hecklingen, had the first Staßfurt brine fountain built in 1452.
[...] "A Fraulein Anna von Schladen, who was abbess of the Hecklingen monastery around the middle of the 15th century, had the most significant influence on the further development of the saltworks, which had already flourished too high Contributed to the sinking of a large, new brine well, which in the best of times of the pancake almost always alone supplied the entire brine required for the operation and was also in use during the later fiscal operation soldered) "[sec].
The secured trunk series begins with Wilke von Schladen († 1636) Pfänner and town bailiff of Staßfurt.
Of the 32 Salzkothen existing in Staßfurt, ten were owned solely by those of Schladen and another four by shares . In the period from 1553 to 1762, the family was able to acquire the dignity of salt count, mayor or mayor several times. Hans Albrecht von Schladen (1652–1717), Vollrath Rudolph von Schladen (1701–1769) (1763 mayor)
Both the cathedral chapter of Magdeburg and the estates of Upper Lusatia have recognized the von Schladen as noble, monastery and knightly.
From the 18th century the von Schladen in Prussia gained respect, high military and state offices. Hans Christoph von Schladen (1693–1743) was a Prussian colonel and commander of the cuirassier regiment "Eugen von Anhalt-Dessau" , Carl August von Schladen (* 1698) was the Prussian captain and adjutant of Prince Leopold von Anhalt-Dessau , Karl Friedrich Gottlieb von Schladen (1730–1806) Prussian lieutenant general and head of the regiment . His older son, the royal Prussian Real Secret Councilor Leopold von Schladen (1772–1845) was raised to the Prussian count on February 2, 1813. Since his son, Count Adolph von Schladen (1814–1844) died uninherited a year before him, his family died out with him in 1845.
