Tresckow (1793)

Treskow (1797)

Sigmund Otto Joseph von Treskow (1756-1825) on Owinsk near Posen was the founder of another line. He was the illegitimate son of the royal Prussian Privy Councilor Albert Sigismund Friedrich von Tresckow auf Milow and Marie Elisabeth Mangelsdorf from Zabakuck near Milow. On January 14, 1797 in Berlin, he was raised to the Prussian nobility. The coat of arms awarded is similar to that of the old aristocratic family of Brandenburg.

In the course of time the family was able to acquire considerable property. In the middle of the 19th century, the founder's heirs owned the manors Friedrichsfelde and Dahlwitz in the Niederbarnim district , Kade in the Jerichow II district , Neuhaus in the Schwerin ad Warthe district , Weissagk in the Sorau district , Owinsk, Biedrusko, Radojewo, Bolechowo, Wierzonka, Morasko, Chludowo , Choynica, Knyszyn and Trzuskotowo in the district of Posen , Wronczyn and Zlotnik in the district of Schroda , Tworkowo in the district of Obornik , Grocholin in the district of Schubin , Niederbaumgarten and Hohen-Petersdorff in the district of Bolkenhain as well as Chodowo, Domanikowo and the Strzelce rule in the Kingdom of Poland.

Carl von Treskow (1787–1846), a son of Sigmund Otto Joseph, married his cousin Marie Julie Jouanne in 1812. His wife's rich dowry and his grandfather's fortune enabled him to purchase the Friedrichsfelde manor with Friedrichsfelde Palace near Berlin in 1816 . There Carl set up a model farm based on the ideas of the Prussian agricultural reformer Albrecht Daniel Thaer . In 1821, he commissioned his friend Peter Joseph Lenné to redesign the park. Carl von Treskow set up a burial place for himself and his descendants on the park area ( hereditary burial place of the von Treskow-Friedrichsfelde family ), which is now located on the grounds of the Berlin Zoo and is maintained by the zoo administration.

One of his sons was the Prussian politician and landowner Julius von Treskow (1818-1894), who from May 1848 to May 1849 was a deputy for Schubin in the Frankfurt National Assembly . The grandson Sigismund von Treskow (1864–1945) became the Prussian district administrator in the Niederbarnim district in 1896 .

A family association that was founded on February 27, 1893, still exists today. He replaced the family cooperative founded in 1876 with the original aristocratic family from the Brandenburg region after the Imperial Herald's Office determined in an expert report that both families are and will remain two families in the sense of nobility, regardless of the question of a natural relationship.
