history
Origin and name
The family with the Skukko (also Schucke / Schocke ) family, who first appeared in a document in 1215 and probably descended from Hildemar de Othendorp in 1162, resided in the Diocese of Verden and became extinct in the middle of the 14th century, is first mentioned in a document . The sex is also related to the tribal and coat of arms of the Clüver, which died out at the beginning of the 18th century. In their early generations they were all vassals of the Counts of Hoya , who, like the noblemen of Stumpenhusen, had two bear paws in their shields. Therefore, the Schucke, Schlepegrell and Clüver probably put the bear paw in their heraldic shield to show their connection to the Counts of Hoya to the outside world. Gebhard Skukko junior is the first to be named Gebhardus Slepegrelle junior, miles in a document on October 11, 1297. The family line begins with his father.
