Schledorn is the name of a Westphalian noble family ( knight class ) that was wealthy in the Sauerland . Their headquarters was in the area of the villages Oberschledorn , today part of the city of Medebach , and Nieder-Schleidern , today part of the city of Korbach , in the Hochsauerlandkreis .
history
The beginnings
In 1236 the knight Herm de Sledere was mentioned in a document. At that time Schledorn belonged to the Free County and Parish of Düdinghausen .
In 1245 Albertus and Conradus de Slethere, burgenses de Medebeke , were given as witnesses.
1339 had Markquard de Slederen in Düdinghausen a farm from Arnsberg Count to fief .
Schledorn zu Bracht and Oberveischede
In 1490 Johann Schleden zu Bracht appeared in a document as the owner of the Bracht manor , today a district of Schmallenberg , approx. 40 km west of Oberschledorn. The uninterrupted stem line of the sex begins with Johann . By marrying Teele, daughter of Hillebrand zu Schliprüthen, he also took over their farm in Schliprüthen . He was dead in 1512 and left two sons.
Johann Schleden (II.) Inherited the Bracht estate, his brother Anton became church master in Schliprüthen in 1522. In 1522 Johann married Anna von Ploch-Iseren from an old knightly family ("iseren armigi") who owned several estates in the area and came to the Plochhof in Oberveischede . In addition to his work as a squire, Johann (II.) Was church master in 1527, judge in Schliprüthen from 1536 to 1559, and in 1544 fiefdom judge of Bernhard Vogt von Elspe . His eldest daughter inherited the Bracht estate, his son Steffen inherited the Schledenhof in Schliprüthen and his son Johann inherited the Plochhof in Oberveischede.
Johann Schledorn gt. Ploch zu Oberveischede was mentioned in a document from 1572–1583. With his wife Gertrud he had a son, Johann and a daughter, who was married to Johann Jungermann zu Niederhelden .
Johann von Schledorn gt. Ploch also lived on the Plochhof in Oberveischede. In 1585 he married Catharina von Plettenberg , daughter of Guntermann von Plettenberg zu Bamenohl . In 1598 he also asserted rights at the court of his brother-in-law Jungermann zu Niederhelden. His sons were named Jobst, Johann and Valentin. Johann married Elsa Braukhausen, heir to the Braukhausen farm near Kirchveischede .
Jobst von Schledorn (approx. 1586–1651) was also born in Oberveischede. From 1617 to 1623 he was judge in Bilstein and during the Thirty Years' War an army judge in the imperial regiment of Colonel Tilmann von Lintloe . 1626 also married into the von Plettenberg family, namely Catharina von Plettenberg-Serkenrode. Through her he came to the Serkenrode estate , which was taken over after his death by his son-in-law, Lieutenant Christian Gerstener. His children were named Johann Christoph, Ernst Jobst, Catharina Elisabeth, Caspar and Anna Dorothea.
Schledorn zu Förde
Johann Christoph von Schledorn (1617–1710) studied at the University of Cologne . He married Guida von Graffen in 1648 . Through them he came into possession of the Förde manor near Grevenbrück , to which the family had probably already had rights. This estate is probably the "Vore" farm (curtis), which was laid out around 1036 for the local commandant over a troop camp, which had belonged to the lords of Gevore since 1170 at the latest . Since the 15th century it - like the farm in Oberveischede - was owned by the Ploch knights and was also called "Plochhof" (or "Plauges"). It was owed to the Walpurgis monastery in Meschede . The annual donations to the monastery amounted to 9.8 bushels of rye, 28.0 bushels of barley and one thaler in prize money. The estate included other farms and the "Zum Schwan" inn, which existed until 1875 and was located directly on the swan pond in front of the manor house. The owner also ran a grocer's shop as "Kopmann". The new squire Johann Christoph von Schledorn was impoverished and in debt due to the effects of the Thirty Years' War . After the death of his wife in 1680, he ceded the estate to his eldest sons, Johann Albert Adolf and Heinrich Wilhelm, by contract before Drosten Johann Adolf von Fürstenberg and moved into the cattle house. His daughter Mechthild Catharina von Schledorn (1656-1740) came to the Drolshagen monastery in 1668 and became abbess there in 1702.
Johann Albert Adolf von Schledorn (1651–1707) married Amoena Amalia Ketter, a member of the Reformed Church, with whom he had eight children, including the sons Franz Wilhelm, Johann Albert Adolf and Johann Wilhelm. He went to the military and became a lieutenant.
Johann Wilhelm von Schledorn (1702–1779) was enfeoffed with the Wickenhof zu Anröchte by Count Friedrich Adolf zur Lippe-Detmold in 1712 together with his older brothers . He spent much of his life in France, where he was married to a French woman. After the death of his brothers and cousins, who remained childless, he became the sole heir of the Förde manor in 1760 and returned to Germany with his wife and only son Heinrich Ludwig.
Heinrich Ludwig von Schledorn (1739–1805) only spoke French. In 1761 he married Anna Maria Cordula Schulte called Schledorn from Niedermarpe near Eslohe , who also descended from Jobst von Schledorn and had seven children with him, one of whom died early. Heinrich Ludwig was considered a great spendthrift who lived far beyond his means. So he always had the "Zum Schwan" written on and paid for with land at the end of the year. The regulars from the inn therefore wrote about him:

"Baron, Baron von habenix, |
Around 1780 Heinrich Ludwig sold the run-down mansion to his main creditor, the mayor Johann Schneider from Elspe , who had it demolished immediately. He also pledged the feudal letter to the Wickenhof in Anröchte for seven years. In 1794 he finally sold the remnants with the cattle house to the district judge Freusberg from Bilstein. He moved to the neighboring Attendorn , where he still led a kind of man's life as "Baron Schledorn" and died in 1805. His wife returned to Eslohe and died in 1820.
Heinrich Ludwig's daughter Johanna Maria Adolphina , who had married Johann Emmerich Ludwig Hennemann, Graflich-Spiegelschen Oberforster in Canstein before 1796 , died in Heddinghausen in 1806 after the birth of their daughter Jeanette Antoinette , who later married the landowner Johann Franz Phillip Berndes and moved to Germete .
Schledorn zu Niedermarpe
Ernst Jobst von Schledorn (1620–1699), Jobst von Schledorn's second son, married Theodora Guida von Neuhoff around 1650 . She was the daughter of Johann von Neuhoff and Maria von Graffen zu Förde and heiress of the fiefdom of Niedermarpe . The marriage resulted in two sons and four daughters. Susanna Catharina became the heiress.
Susanna Catharina von Schledorn (1655–1737) married Johann Friedrich von Bischopinck , Freiherr zu Cobbenrode (1656–1729) in Eslohe on July 3, 1681 . The couple first lived in Niedermarpe, and from 1690 in Cobbenrode . It had five sons and four daughters,
Maria Bernhardina von Bischopinck (1703–1762), the youngest daughter, got the Schledornsche Gut in Niedermarpe to manage and brought it into her marriage to Ludwig Spott called Schulte. From then on the couple called themselves Schulte called Schledorn zu Niedermarpe .
Her daughter Anna Maria Cordula married the aforementioned Heinrich Ludwig von Schledorn zu Förde.
