history

One of the oldest and most important Baltic vassal families is that of Tiesenhausen, whose original ancestral seat was the now submerged town of the same name north of Nienburg an der Weser . Here were Henricus et Eggelbertus de Thiesenhusen already in 1215 as gräflich wölpesche Burgmannen on to Nienburg. An Engelbertus de Tysenhusen appears almost simultaneously in Livonia in 1210 and in a document in 1224 as a knight , brother-in-law and vassal of Dorpater Bishop Hermann I von Buxthoeven , who also came from the Lower Saxon nobility . He and his descendants received extensive land holdings and from the 14th to the 16th century the Lords of Tiesenhausen were among the wealthiest vassals in Livonia.

The family expanded strongly and in parts also came back to Holstein and Lübeck , where they allied themselves with the patriciate of the Hanseatic city, namely the von Warendorp family . Two large tribes were formed, named after the new ancestral seat Erlaa and Bersohn . Both tribes came with branch lines to Courland , Prussia , Poland and Russia . General Hans Heinrich von Tiesenhausen auf Tolks from the Erlaa tribe received the title of baron from the Swedish crown as Freiherr von Erlaa in 1654 . Bernd Gustav von Tiesenhausen auf Groß-Sauß from the Bersohn tribe received the status of imperial count in 1759 . Another line from the Bersohn tribe, richly wealthy in Poland and earning the dignity of counts , died out in the 19th century. Other lines established in Russia were granted the title of baron by the imperial Russian senate ukas in 1854 . From the Erlaa tribe , Georg von Tiesenhausen was Bishop of Reval from 1525 to 1530 and also Bishop of Ösel from 1527 to 1530 .
