history

The Westphalian von Senden were already mentioned with Hermannus de Senden , in a document from 1174 to 1203. Their headquarters was a Bene Kamp known manor near the village of Send , which already at 890 as Sendiaon in a lifting registers of Werden Abbey was called. Therefore urkundeten by sending as of sending called Bene Kamp . Towards the end of the 14th century, Benekamp was absorbed into the united manor of Senden , whose owners were the Droste zu Senden , descendants of the heir to von Senden zu Benekamp.

Already before 1269 a line, the later from Grothaus ( de magna domo ), must have separated and settled on the Grotenhus near Nordkirchen , a fief of the Prince-Bishops of Münster , in whose possession it remained until 1403. The first names to be named after this ancestral seat were Theodoricus de magna domo in 1269 or his brother or son, the knight Conradus de Magna domo in 1277.

Bernhard von Senden zu Lüdinghausen was a knight and vassal of the Prince-Bishop of Münster and the Count of Ravensberg . His son, knight Johann von Lüdinghausen called Morrien (* around 1252, † 1337), was the progenitor of the von Morrien family, which has been documented since 1271 . He received the Oberhof Selm from the bishop as pledge. He was enfeoffed by the Werden monastery with the Oberhof Nordkirchen and the Höfen tor Horst and Bertelswich, and since then has held the title of Lord of Nordkirchen .

The von Senden expired around 1600 with Engelbert von Senden zu Hengelborg as the last of their names.
