history

The Schoenaich family comes from the Lower Lusatian nobility and is first mentioned in a document with Tytzko (Dietrich) von Schoenaich in 1329. A village of the same name, today's Piękne Kąty , is now part of Carolath ( Siedlisko ) . Another place of the same name is located near Sorau in the Neumark, today's Sieciejów .

Around 1550 Fabian von Schoenaich acquired the dominions Carolath and Beuthen on the Oder from Franz von Rechenberg . The imperial confirmation of the majorate took place in 1601 with " Baron von Beuthen". On June 28, 1616, the Herbländisch-Austrian confirmation of the baron status took place.

Hans Georg Freiherr von Schoenaich-Beuthen was raised to the rank of imperial count in 1700 , his son Hans Carl , Royal Prussian secret state and war minister, in 1741 ( primogenitur limited) to the Prussian princely status under the name of "von Carolath-Schönaich", 1753 unlimited (for its Deszendenz ) with the name "von Schoenaich-Carolath". The primogeneity name "zu Carolath-Beuthen" was confirmed in 1861 to Prince Heinrich zu Carolath-Beuthen when he was awarded the title " Highness " by Prussia .

In 1854 the family obtained hereditary membership in the Prussian manor house . While Prince Karl (1845–1912) inherited the free class lords of Carolath (with Carolath Castle ) and Beuthen in Lower Silesia, his younger brother Prince Heinrich (1852–1920) took over the state rule of Amtitz near Guben in Niederlausitz. Saabor Castle owned the younger line . With the flight and expulsion in 1945 , the Silesian possessions were expropriated.

In 1896, the Haseldorf estate and manor house (with Haselau and Hetlingen ) in Schleswig-Holstein and Palsgaard Castle in Denmark fell to Prince Emil von Schoenaich-Carolath-Schilden (1852-1908), the son of Emilie von Oppen-Schilden . Haseldorf belongs to the family to this day.
