Schwawe
Schwawe is the name of an immigrant Pomeranian aristocratic family who appeared under different spellings of names (Swaf, Schwave, Schvawe, Svave, Suave, Swawe, Schwabe, Schwaben) . Branches of the family are found in Holstein and Denmark .
history
The Schwawe are said to come from the patrician family of the Wernitzer , who immigrated from Swabia in the 13th century and from then on carried their origin as a family name. First documented is the family with Arnoldus Schwave , magnus Camerarius Duke Barnim I. in 1272. Before the start of the secured master series will last Mattias Suave called in 1463 when his wife Ida of Duke Erich receives permission, her paternal inheritance Henning Lepel to pledge. Around 1500 the family appeared in the Stolp lines with a Danish branch, Groß Machmin and Schmatzin in Western Pomerania . The Suave presented two mayors in Stolp, and the first Protestant bishop of Pomerania, another member was rector of the University of Copenhagen , yet was chancellor Herzog Bogislaw X . It did not come from Swabia, as the family name suggests, but from Holsten and died out with the conventual and later long-time prioress of the Uetersen Monastery Metta von Schwaben from the Lindau (1636-1709) house in 1709 in Uetersen. A large tomb with a grave slab in the monastery maiden cemetery still reminds of the former noble family.
