history

The sex appears for the first time in a document with Hinricus advocatus de Elsepe 1276-1300. The assumption of the surname Stryk , historically also Striek or Streich , since around 1400 is interpreted as a cognatic connection with the Westphalian Stric or Stryk , who first appeared in 1249 with the brothers Johannes Conradus et Rotscherus dicti Stric . The secured family line of the Stryk begins with Wilhelm Voget, otherwise called Striek († after 1461), who was mentioned in a feud letter from Count Adolf von Berg in 1425 .

Heinrich Stryk († after 1578), great-grandson of the above Wyllm Voget , entered the service of the Teutonic Order , became captain of Narwa and letter marshal of the order. In the course of the secularization of the order in the Baltic States, it was enfeoffed by Nicolaus Radziwill , the voivode of Wilna in 1562 with 35 farms near Helmet and the Starostei Trikaten. The family seat Morsel-Podrigel was later formed from this property . He was with Elisabeth Tepel adH Wittkop from a neighboring manor also in the parish Trikaten married located, leading to an ancestress was all subsequent generations.

Only his son Gotthard von Stryk († after 1597), heir to Morsel and knight captain, continued the tribe. His older son Heinrich von Stryk († 1654) remained in Livonia on his father's property, which he increased by marrying Ottenküll in Wierland . The younger son Johann von Stryk († 1653) went to Sweden , became colonel of the Helfin Regiment, governor of Jämtland , Medelpad and Ångermanland and heir to Skogs-Ekeby and Norby. He married Britta Skytte af Sätra and in 1631 was introduced to the nobility class at the Swedish knight's house (No. 177). His family appeared in Sweden under the name Strijk , but already in the 3rd generation went out with Gotthard Strijk († 1733), who was a colonel of the Westmannland Regiment and remained unmarried.

Among the brothers and great-grandchildren of the above Heinrich von Stryk († 1654), Hans Heinrich von Stryk († 1726), heir to Morsel, Swedish land and judiciary in Livonia and Johann Andreas von Stryk (* 1689; † 1740), heir to Palla , Swedish cavalry officer and lawyer in Livonia, divided the family into the two main lines, Morsel and Palla.

In 1745 the family was registered with the Livonian Knighthood (No. 52).

Eduard Theodor von Stryk (* 1834, † 1900), heir to Eichenhain, enrolled in the Estonian knighthood on January 15, 1881 .

A family association was founded in 1827 and confirmed in 1986.
