Trohe (also Drohe , Troye , Trahe , Drahe , Trah , Dra and von der Aa ) is the name of a noble family that has appeared in the Hessian area since 1210. Perhaps it happened in the entourage of Count v. Peilstein from Austria to Hesse.

coat of arms

The family had a sea leaf / clover leaf as their coat of arms. The tips of three silver shamrocks touch in the middle on a black background. In places these shamrocks are seen as sea leaves or hearts.

The von Trohe family was first mentioned in the Hessian area in 1210. They were with the von Trohe family . Buseck Ganerbe of the Buseck Valley . In 1337 Emperor Ludwig IV (the Bavarian) awarded after Erwin's death. Trohe to the steadfast men Gottfried and Hermann v. Troy the Buseck court with all the rights that their ancestors already had. In the following years they shared the fief with the von Buseck family. The Trohe owned (at least) one castle, the Weißburgk , in Trohe , which they sold again in 1471. After that, the family seems to have had no more properties in the town of the same name. At that time they were already settling in the neighboring village of Großen-Buseck , where they had several noble residences. Including the castle they built, which today serves as a municipal administration. They had other noble residences within the Busecker valley in Alten-Buseck, Reiskirchen and Rödgen.

In the 15th century, representatives of the Trohe aristocratic family had part of the tithe of the Isenburg family as a fief, as well as the patronage of Grossen-Buseck, Alten-Buseck , Beuern , Burkhardsfelden and Oppenrod . The family was in the service of various masters. They hired the Hessian landgraves, the clergy and the Teutonic Order. In the Mainz cathedral cloister there is an epitaph of Georg, Johann and Philipp von Drohe (1596).

In the male line, the family died in 1641 with the death of Philipp Heinrich v. Trohes out. His daughter Anna Elisabeth, born in the same year, brought the Troher properties into the family v. Buseck called Münch .
