Uffeln (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of the Hessian von Uffeln

Uffeln , historically also Uffel or Offeln , but the imperial baronial bastard line Ufflen , is the name of an old Hessian noble family with the parent company Burguffeln near Grebenstein .

Three other coat of arms and tribal different but same name Westphalian families Uffeln are known, but became extinct by the 17th century. In the 1707 Swedish nobility captured Uffeln go to the Swedish Hofgerichtsassessor and Judicial Council in Bremen , Dr. jur. Hermann Johann Uffelmann and are also not related to the gender listed below. A family of van Uffelen , which originated near Antwerp , also appeared in Hamburg and Lauenburg around 1700 under the name Uffeln . With the Hamburg banker and heir to Basthorst , Johann Dominicus von Uffeln († 1721), this sex has also died out in Germany in the male line .

In the literature there was still more frequent confusion and confusion with the Lippe von Offen , which, in addition to the similar family name, also provided officers and court officials after the Duchy of Brunswick , which is probably the cause of the false conclusions.

history

The family belonged to the city council of Hofgeismar in the 13th century . It appears in a document for the first time on February 3, 1234 with the knight Arnoldus de Uflon and begins its reliable line of tribe with the Landgrave Hessian councilor Hermann von Uffeln († after 1368), documented in 1356, on Uffeln and Immenhausen .

Hermann von Uffeln, whose family has their ancestral home in Burguffeln and was known as "Burgmänner" in Grebenstein and Immenhausen as early as the 13th century , acquired extensive property in Helpoldessen and Oberhalendung. The Uffeln can attribute their extensive property holdings, which then hardly changed until the 18th century, mainly to enfeoffments from the Landgraves of Hesse . From the 16th to the 17th century in particular, the von Uffeln produced a number of personalities who, because of their field of activity at court or in the field, attracted attention both in their presence and before posterity.

First to be mentioned is Arndt von Uffeln († around 1580), who gained reputation and wealth as a Hessian field marshal . Although he left no children himself, he determined the fate and development of the family lastingly. The ducal Brunswick cavalry captain and Drosten zu Lauenstein , Hermann von Uffeln († 1605), natural son Johann von Ufflen († 1665), Landgrave Colonel of Hesse-Kassel, secret war council and fortress commander in Kassel became with his sons Heinrich von Ufflen (1615–1678 ), Hesse-Kasselian, Kurbrandenburg major general, Brunswick-Lüneburg and Danish general, and Johann Georg von Ufflen (1619–1690), Brunswick-Lüneburg general, hereditary lord of Höxter and Borgentreich in Westphalia and high commander of Hamburg, in Vienna in 1664 in the imperial baronage upscale. Heinrich's son Johann Carl von Uffeln († 1716) was also a Hesse-Kassel general and commander of Kassel. As early as 1729, with the death of Carl Friedrich von Uffeln, the Uffeln were eliminated from the Hessian knighthood . Georg Ludwig von Uffeln († 1733) was an imperial field marshal lieutenant in the imperial army and was wealthy in the kingdom of Slavonia . His postulated rise to the imperial baron status in the 1730s is not documented. In 1736, the original Hessian tribe with the Hesse-Kassel colonel, chief of the Count Reuss regiment and the Köhler garrison regiment , Johann Moritz von Ufflen (1657–1736), became extinct in the male line.

At the beginning of the 17th century a line was transplanted to Thuringia and Saxony . In 1748 the Saxon Uffels exchanged their inherited Hessian goods with Hereditary Prince Friedrich , who later became Landgrave Friedrich II, and continued to live on their estates in Saxony. The fiefdoms there included Hainichen, Hardisleben , Hessberg , Kühdorf , Ottenhausen , Roschütz , Schönberg, Settendorf , Trünzig and Zangenberg . With the Saxon court and judiciary as well as Provost of Meißen and Naumburg , Hermann Carl von Uffeln († 1853), the Uffeln in the male line are finally extinct.
