Sengbusch (noble family)
Sengbusch , Zengbušs in Latvian , is the name of a Baltic German family originally from Mecklenburg , who were raised to imperial nobility in 1796 .
history
The family is first documented in Mecklenburg; it cannot be ruled out that there was a connection with the Lorraine town of Sengbusch / Seingbouse . The tombstone of Hans Sengbusch († 1728) has been preserved in the church of Kessin . Cord Sengbusch (* 1700, baptized in the Berendshagen village church ; † 1763) came to the Baltic States before 1725 , settled in Riga as a master tailor and cloth merchant and as a senior man of the Small Guild .
His son Alexander Gottschalk von Sengbusch (1731–1800) became a successful merchant and mayor of Riga. With a diploma on November 28, 1796, Emperor Franz II in Vienna raised him to the rank of imperial nobility. His company A. G. Sengbusch developed into one of the largest trading houses in Riga in the 19th century.
In 1816 and 1854, members of the family received the Russian nobility . The family bought land on Ösel ; the brothers Konrad († 1913) and Johannes von Sengbusch were accepted into the knighthood of Oesel in 1879 and 1892, respectively.
Wilhelm von Sengbusch (1802–1880) was married to Katharina Juliane Lamprecht (1812–1856), a stepdaughter of Friedrich Wilhelm Brederlo , and became heir and curator of his art collection.
As a result of the German-Soviet border and friendship treaty , the von Sengbusch family was forcibly resettled from the Baltic States . They were allowed to take seven pictures from their collection with them. Immediately afterwards, the remainder of the collection in Riga was nationalized by the Latvian government under Kārlis Ulmanis .
