Suckow (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Suckow is the name of two, very likely to be differentiated from each other, so not tribe related Mecklenburg noble families . This heading does not include two extinct same noble families, one each from Pomerania to the family estate Pegelow († ca. 1766) and one from the Lübeck circles company († after 1871).

history

Suckow I

With Bernhardus de Sukow civis , a noble Suckow family was first recorded in Mecklenburg in 1282 . According to Pentz , this family died out in Mecklenburg around 1500. Mülverstedt deduces that due to the recurring first names in the Middle Ages and the extensive coats of arms of the Mecklenburg Suckow, it is a line of the older Pomeranian family Suckow below .

In 1299 a family of the same name appears for the first time with the relatives Eckehart Succow , Rudolphus and Tydericus de Succow because of a first comparison with the Dargun monastery because of border disputes between Todenhagen and Bast in Western Pomerania . In 1332 the border matter was again the subject of negotiation between Dargun and the Suckow . In 1425, the family also appeared in Mecklenburg when they gave the Neuenkloster monastery eight marks from the village of Neuere. In the 16th century the Suckow owned Plestelin and Gametzow bei Demmin , in 1504 the brothers Klaus , Hermann , Thomas , Dietrich and Gerhard von Suckow were enfeoffed. In 1635 the family in Western Pomerania is mentioned again with Joachim Suckow on Plestelin.

Suckow II

The secured line of trunks of the younger Suckow begins in Karrenzin with Peter Suckow (* around 1656; † around 1700). On March 23, 1714, the elder and provost of Sternberg , Jacob Sigismund von Suckow, received from Emperor Karl VI. a renewal of the nobility, probably following a postulated assumption of ancestry from the older Suckow .

On September 10, 1745, the Mecklenburg manor owners and brothers Christian August , Jacob Sigismund and Johann Friedrich Suckow were raised to the imperial nobility by August II of Saxony during his imperial vicariate in Dresden. Once again, assuming that they are descended from the older Suckow , you will also find their coat of arms attached.

Three grandchildren of the Schwerin Cathedral Coaster , Heinrich Suckow († after 1723), were raised to the imperial nobility by Emperor Leopold II in Vienna on December 12, 1792 . These were the brothers Joachim August Bernhard Oberamtmann zu Warin , Gottfried August Herr auf Moltenow and Goldberg and Victor Gebhard Peter Suckow tenants of the Rampe domain . The Mecklenburg nobility recognition took place on May 24, 1793.

On November 16, 1853, the Mecklenburg Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II recognized the nobility of the chamber tenant Carl Heinrich Johann von Suckow , tenant of the Woeten domain , a descendant of the above-mentioned Victor Gebhard Peter von Suckow . Descendants of the above Joachim August Bernhard von Suckow, on the other hand, settled in East Friesland .

The Saxon major general and commander of the 5th Infantry Brigade No. 63 , Mortimer von Suckow , had himself entered in the Saxon nobility register on June 26, 1912 (No. 407).

Karl Ludwig Emil von Suckow (1787–1863), joined the Württemberg service from Mecklenburg in 1807 , lived in Ulm and Ludwigsburg, and from 1837 in Stuttgart. Most recently he had the rank of colonel and was the author of the military memoirs from the Napoleonic era : “From my soldier's life” (Stuttgart 1863). From his marriage to Emma von Calatin (1807–1876) only Albert von Suckow (1828–1893 ) survived , who also embarked on a military career and made it up to the Württemberg Minister of War.

coat of arms

All Mecklenburg Suckow have the bear in common as a coat of arms element. There is a direct kinship with the Holstein Gadendorf and the Mecklenburg noble families Drage , Schwetzin and Pridole .
