Swan wings (noble family)

Coat of arms of their swan wings (Swanenflogel)

Herman Heinrich Louis Schwanenflügel (1844–1921), from Copenhagen, Danish historian

Von Schwanenflügel (also from Schwanenflug , formerly Swanenflogel ) is the name of an old Lower Saxon noble family , originating from a Göttingen patrician family , which was first recorded in the 13th century.

history

Duke Wilhelm of Braunschweig and Lüneburg , as overlord of the Swanenflügeln of Göttingen, left a Hufe Landes and a saddle yard at Niedern Iesa, which were fiefdoms from the noblemen of Bovenden , as free inheritance . The von Schwanenflügel also held fiefdoms of those of Westernhagen as after- fiefs . In 1532 a dispute broke out between the Swanenflogel family from Göttingen and the Weende monastery over the so-called Swanenflogelschen Hof , which was only settled in 1591 when the monastery waived its claims to the court. The talking coat of arms , a swan wing, can still be seen today at the Junkernschänke in Göttingen. The late Gothic house was acquired by the councilor and mayor Giseler Swanenflogel (Giselher Schwanenflügel) in 1541 and had richly carved facade. In 1618 the swan wings at Göttingen, Duderstadt and Uslar were enfeoffed by the von Uslar with half a hoof Landes vor Groß Schneen . In 1663 the Schwanenflügel zu Duderstadt was enfeoffed with the tenth ownership of the Lerne desert, formerly owned by the von Hanstein as well as zu Duderstadt itself. From the middle of the 19th century, a branch of the Schwanenflügel was also in Copenhagen .

The line of the Saxon station inspector Wilhelm von Schwanenflügel (1832-1896) was raised to the Saxon nobility in 1911 as "von Schwanenflug" . The Saxon Medical Council Dr. Arno von Schwanenflug, son of the aforementioned, was entered in the Saxon nobility register in 1913 (No. 430).

In 1932, a member of the Schwanenflügelschen Haus deposited a deposit in what was then the main state archive in Hanover , which consists in particular of fief deeds and family files from the southern Hanover area for the period from 1393 to 1889. The loan deeds, about 0.3 meters of shelf space, are divided into 234 documents and 14 file fascicles. On the occasion of a reorganization of the items designated as Depositum 51 under the heading "Family von Schwanenflügel: Documents and Files" in 1948 under the State Archives Director Adolf Diestelkamp , the then State Archives Trainee Herbert Mundhenke summed up :

" So far, none of the documents in the Schwanenflügel archives have been processed in printed or regesta works ."
