The Swartepape were a medieval , influential, Mecklenburg patrician family who lived in and around Plau am See .

history

origin

Lisch decided on an ancestry of the Swartpape from the aristocratic Pape who immigrated from the empire , as can be found in large numbers in Mecklenburg in the 13th and 14th centuries. On the other hand, according to recent research, they are seen as relatives of the noble von Gamm family , who are indisputably of Wendish origin.

Possession, spread and appearance

The Swartepapenburg , an old rampart on the Gaarz field mark, was the domain of the old Borwin and was given away to the clergy in 1223 by him.

On September 28, 1284 the princes of Werle pledged several lifts from the mill in Plau to the "Hinrico Nigro Clerico, burgensi in Plawe" for 200 Marks Lübisch . In 1308 Berthold I. Swartepape received the entire village of Zarmoth (Samot) as a fief and in 1313 received full ownership from Prince Nicolaus von Werle .

Between 1313 and 1338 the citizen and princely Vogt Bartold I. Swartepape, who was one of the most important personalities in the medieval history of the city of Plau, is often mentioned in the documents.

The fiefdom of four Hufen zu Kuppentin came in 1320 to the Plau citizen Berthold I. Swartepape. In 1337 Prince Nicolaus von Werle gave Barthold I. Swartepape the ownership of 16 hooves in the village of Drosenow ( Dresenow ), ten hooves in the village of Hof Malchow (today Altenlinden) and of the mill in Dresenow. In 1372 the squire Berthold II. Swartepape pledged his four hooves to the priest Johann Lorenz, vicar of Plau, and his cousin Hans Lorenz. In 1396 the Swartepapen sold their village Dresenow with 16 Hufen and the mill to the Stepenitz monastery in Prignitz . Bartold III. (1386–1396) and his three brothers, all citizens of Plau, sold the goods acquired by their grandfather. With them, the family died out at the end of the 14th century.

After the family left, there were still many posthumous references in Plau. In the registers from 1448/49, a Swartepapenhoven was listed on the Retzow field near Lübz . Since 1930 there has been a Swartepape street in Plau am See, district Plötzenhöhe, which refers to the family.

The coat of arms shows three stars in a sloping beam on the left and instead of the helmet a pelican nest in which stands a pelican who tears its chest and nourishes its young with its blood; the Swartepapen sometimes had this helmet mark alone in their seal.
