Coat of arms of those of Stoislaff; the suns were originally lion heads

The von Stoislaff , also called Stoizlavitz, Stoysoff, Stoisloff, Stoisloft, Stoslav or Stoysloff, are an extinct line of the indigenous nobility of Mecklenburg. They are of Wendish origin and have developed their family name from their first names.

history

The von Stoislaff were noble free of Wendish origin . Their extensive property seems to have been in the Rostock area, where they first appear in a document. No member of the sex is called a knight, held a title or rank in Mecklenburg and held an outstanding socially superior position. They took part in the signing of the Union of Estates in Rostock in 1523. They are related to different families.

From 1330 her knight seat was in Pankelow. On August 20, 1328 Prince Heinrich von Mecklenburg enfeoffed Vicco von Smecker with the village of Pankelow. Since Arend (Arnoldus) Stoyslauus married a daughter of Smecker before 1330, Pankelow was the marriage estate. In 1327 Gotan von Stoizlaf, who had come back from Rügen, was sitting on Bussewitz and sealed as a witness for Heinrich Sisik with the three lion heads. In 1376 Nicolaus von Stoislaff married Alheydis von Cröpelin, the daughter of councilor Arnold von Cröpelin, who was mayor of Rostock from 1361 to 1492. From 1366 to 1391 Gotanus von Stoislaff was on Pankelow, who together with his brother Arnoldus founded the Stoislaff Vicarie in the church in Petschow . The patronage of the church, however, was held by those of Preen .

Joachim von Stoislaff, who lived on Pankelow from 1470 to 1511, gave the Dobbertin monastery 100 marks in 1511 for his daughter Anna, who was a nun there. In the account book of the Dobbertin monastery it is written: Item gaff Jochim Stoyslaff one hundred marks in front of syne wick Anna. Her brother Claus put two horses against the Lübeckers in 1506 and in 1523 was one of the signatories of the Union of Estates in Rostock. From 1522 to 1612 Christoff von Stoislaff was on Pankelow, Barse and Bussewitz, and most recently as a 90-year-old a bit strange. In 1569 and 1576, during the Reformation years, he gave the Dobbertin monastery money for his two daughters Anna and Elisabeth. Both were already nuns in the monastery and stayed there until they were converted into a noble dynasty for the Christian upbringing of domestic virgins in 1572. In 1619 Christoff's son Arend sold shares in Pankelow and pledged Bussewitz. He had nine children with Gottliebe von Below . When the youngest son was born, the father was 73 years old and passed away the following year.

In the past two centuries the Stoislaff took up employment abroad, particularly in the military. Of the 59 men of the sex, about seven were officers, five of whom remained in the war. Despite their unfavorable economic situation, most of their daughters could be married to urban families from Rostocks and Güstrow , as well as to the country's oldest noble families, Clevenow and von Cröpelin . Three daughters became nuns in the Dobbertin monastery. The von Stoislaff family held out on their modest knight's seat in Pankelow for over 400 years, then they went out with Friedrich Christoph von Stoislaff in 1750.

Possessions

Ecclesiastically, the main residence Pankelow of the Stoislaff family belonged to the church in Pechov. The Stoislaff never owned or exercised a patronage right in Pechov.

coat of arms

In the escutcheon , three golden lions' heads can be seen on a blue background. One is below and two are above. In the crest there is a lion's head between two ostrich feathers.

While the three shield figures have existed in suns recently and for quite a long time, z. For example, the seal of Gotanus Stoislaff from 1340 three lion heads, which also appear in the coats of arms of Mecklenburg and Rügischer noble families and, in an unaffected representation, have a resemblance to suns, and vice versa.
