Another form of the coat of arms of the von Thienen-Adlerflycht, mainly used between the 17th and 19th centuries

Thienen is the name of an old noble family that the Holstein nobility comes from. The spelling has changed over the centuries from Tyne and Tynen to Tinen, Thien, Tienen, Thinen and Thienen. The Barons von Thienen-Adlerflycht , who belong to the Danish nobility, are the only branch of this sex that has existed to this day.

history

Origin of gender

The genealogist Johann Daniel Eberus describes in his work "Insignia et tabula genealogica dominorum a Thinen", published in 1670, that the von Thienen family is said to have been expelled from Holstein by Charlemagne at the beginning of the 9th century and that the city of Thienen or Tienen ( French: Tirlemont) in Brabant (today's Belgium). The name Thienen first appears on April 20, 872 in a file of Charles the Bald .

At least one branch of the family is said to have had its seat in Dithmarschen since around 1000 , but was expelled from there in 1280. Members of the family fought against the Dithmarschers in 1289, 1322 and 1404, some of them perishing.

The first verifiable member of the family was found in 1314 in a document about the knight Heneke von Thienen, born in 1270 . The certificate is in the Danish State Archives in Copenhagen. The closed line of trunks begins with the knight Johannes von Thienen (dictus de Tyne) , who was born in 1342 and was justiciarus in the Duchy of Schleswig in 1381 . The family was divided early on into several lines on different possessions.

The Barons von Thienen-Adlerflycht belong to the nine still existing Equites Originarii , the primeval , originally knightly families from Schleswig-Holstein .

Today's head of the family is Franz Baron von Thienen-Adlerflycht (* 1957).

Examples of Thienenscher buildings

Wahlstorf mansion

The original moated castle Wahlstorf was built in the 15th century by Detlev von Thienen and his son Claus and became one of the two family houses. It is one of the oldest preserved mansions in Schleswig-Holstein. After more than 320 years in family ownership, it was inherited in 1788 by the von Plessen family , who still own it.

Kühren Castle

In 1469 the same Detlev von Thienen also acquired the Kühren estate and built the manor house there, which had now been demolished. The estate remained in the possession of the von Thienen family until 1756 and, along with Wahlstorf, became one of the two family houses.

Güldenstein Castle

The manor house on Gut Güldenstein was built in 1726 by the Thienen family. The moated castle is located on an oval island and is surrounded by a moat. The Thienen / Brockdorff alliance coat of arms is located above the main portal . In 1779 Güldenstein went to the Rantzau family, and since 1839 it has been owned by the Grand Dukes of Oldenburg.

Grünholz manor house

The manor on Gut Grünholz was built under Ida Lucia von Thienen, née von Brockdorff, Heinrich von Thienen's widow, from 1749 to 1752 on the remains of the moat that once completely surrounded the farmyard. The building is made of brick in the shape of a cuboid and covered with a hipped roof, the house with two full floors above a basement plinth is nine window axes wide. The central projection facing the courtyard is accentuated by a triangular gable; the building owner's monogram is located in the gable area. The baroque sandstone portal with the double coat of arms of the Thienen and Brockdorff families is reached via a stone bridge. Today the manor is owned by the Princes of Schleswig-Holstein.

Thienenhof

The former aristocratic palace Prinzesshof or Thienenhof in Itzehoe comes from its oldest components from the 16th century. It is the most important secular building in the city and houses the district museum of the Steinburg district. It was acquired in 1569 by the Steinburg bailiff Otto von Thienen , he built a double house on it and called it Thienenhof from then on.

Manor house Neu-Bülk

In 1687, Claus Christoph I von Thienen (1657–1708) acquired the Bülk estate in the Danish Wohld . In 1708 he laid out the Meierhöfe Ravensbek (later Neu-Bülk) and Eckhof. His son Claus Christoph II von Thienen (1693–1752) subsequently divided the estate into three parts in order to bequeath it to his children, in this case: The Ravensbek Meierhof expanded into the noble Neu-Bülk estate. The Meierhof Eckhof was extended to the noble Gut Eckhof and the old Bülk manor was greatly reduced and from now on it was called Alt-Bülk.

Barons von Thienen-Adlerflycht

Today only the oldest line of the family (Catholic) still exists, which was awarded the Danish baronate in 1840 as Thienen-Adlerflycht .

The name connection arose due to the marriage of Konrad Christoph von Thienen to Luise von Adlerflycht, the last of an old family from Sweden, in 1833 after the death of her father Justinian von Adlerflycht († 1831) and uncle Carl Friedrich Christian von Adlerflycht († 1835 ).

That same Konrad Christoph emigrated from Schleswig-Holstein. By royal Danish resolution of September 19, 1840 he received the recognition of the name v. Thienen-Adlerflycht and by a royal Danish patent from January 26th 1841 the status increase to Freiherrn or Baron.

His son Karl (born  January 23, 1835 in Frankfurt am Main ; †  January 28, 1900 in Nice ) was the diplomatic representative of several German princes and duchies in Vienna, in particular as Minister-Resident of the Duchy of Braunschweig for over 30 years , a position from which he retired into private life after the death of Duke Wilhelm (1806–1884).
The Barons von Thienen-Adlerflycht have lived in Austria and the Czech Republic since then .

coat of arms

The family coat of arms is split. It shows three black bars on the right on a red background and three black diamonds on the left on a red background. On the helmet with its red and black covers stand three black, red and black ostrich feathers, each covered with a diamond of a mistaken color. Later the left half is shown divided four times by red and black. The black parts appear mostly in silver between the 17th and 19th centuries. The blooming line, which was raised to the Danish baronate in 1840, again carries the old coat of arms in red and black, with a baron's crown and a falcon and a bear as a shield holder.
