history

origin

According to Kneschke and Zedlitz-Neukirch , the family originally came from the county of Schauenburg and is said to have appeared under the name of Bartensleben by the middle of the 13th century . Later members of the sex are said to have settled in Saxony and Brandenburg .

The family was first mentioned in 1270 with Baldewin de Werdesleve as a witness in a document from the Althaldensleben monastery . In 1282 Gerhard, together with his brother Ulrich (I.), surrendered a hoof with a yard in Werdesleue, which they carried from the nobles of Warberg zu Lehn , in exchange for compensation to the Mariental monastery in a document. Both are referred to as citizens of Helmstedt .

Spread and personalities

Dietrich (II.), Settled in Oschersleben , was enfeoffed by Bishop Gebhard zu Halberstadt jointly with Paul and Diedrich von Bornstedt with a hoof in Wulferstedt and two farms in Beckendorf (now part of Oschersleben), one of which was tenth-free . He was also enfeoffed with the tithe from the village and field to Gunsleben and other goods to Gumaringen and Klein- and Großwulferstedt, among others. After his death, Gunsleben's tithe was passed on to Friedrich von Hoym, who was leaned on him. Henning (IV.) Was enfeoffed by Bishop Gebhard zu Halberstadt, according to the feudal register from 1458 to 1480, with two hooves and six gardens at Ottleben (today part of Ausleben ), two hooves on the Hegersdorfer field and a wood stain on the fire liver wood. Jordan (III.), The founder of the Brumby family , acquired the Brumby farm from Curt von Dieskau in 1456. The property was partly borne by the Archbishops of Magdeburg and partly by the Counts of Barby as a fief. In 1470 he was loaned by the noble Curt von Warberg with the tithe of 16 hooves on the field at Telze, as well as five wispels of interest from Schwanebeck .

Jordan Heinrich auf Bramby married Margarethe von Rauchhaupt from the Sarsdorf family and was entrusted in 1610 by the administrator Christian Wilhelm zu Magdeburg with the court of Bramby and its accessories. In 1617 he was entrusted with further goods to Brumby from Count Wolfgang Friedrich von Barby. He died in 1658.

Manor Exten

The line in the Altmark went out in 1683 with the death of Vollrath Christian. The Extersche line can be traced back to Bodo von Wartensleben in a document until 1471. The brothers Alexander Hermann (* 1650) and Simon Elmershausen (* 1653) descend from him in the seventh generation . In 1727, today's main building of the manor in Exten was built by the Bremen builder Conrad Georg Conradi for Karl Christian Graf von Wartensleben. After the death of Bernd von Eckersten (sometimes Eckerstein ) around 1543/44, the line had no male descendants. His nephew Jost (also Jobst) von Waiting life followed him in Exten. He took over the farm on January 1, 1545 after an inheritance dispute with Johann Westphal and his wife Gisela, a born von Eckersten. Allegedly out of concern that King Jérôme would confiscate the manor without compensation, Count Ferdinand von Wartensleben sold it in 1809 for 55,000 thalers to Bernard Diederik Gijsbert Freiherr von Wardenburg. The time of the exteners of waiting life was over.

Karl Christian Graf von Wartensleben, the second son of Simon Elmerhaus, born on February 11, 1689 in Exten, first served in the Prussian army , then entered service as a lieutenant colonel in the ducal Saxon-Gotha service, which he left as a colonel. He was raised to the rank of count in 1745 and died on January 3, 1760. He was royal Swedish and princely Hessian councilor and chief forest master of the county of Schaumburg . In January 1715 he married Herminia Sibylla von Diepenbroich, who died on November 3 of the same year, Louise Albertine von Quadt zu Wickradt (1697–1744) on February 28, 1720 and Amalie Philippine von Halcken (* around 1698 ; † 1783).

The Karow manor to the south to the park

Alexander Hermann, the founder of the Prussian line, died in 1734 as a Prussian field marshal . The descendants of his youngest son Leopold Alexander (1710–1775), a Prussian lieutenant general , founded an older and a younger branch. The older branch included Wilhelm Friedrich Graf von Wartensleben, court marshal of the widowed Princess of Prussia and his son, the Prussian castle captain Ludwig Christian Graf von Wartensleben. Gustav Ludwig Graf von Wartensleben (* 1796), a son of Ludwig Christian, became majorate at Gut Karow near Genthin , knight of the Order of St. John , Prussian chamberlain and lieutenant colonel . He married Elisabeth von Goldbeck in 1825 .

Wilhelm Ludwig Gustav Graf von Wartensleben (* 1734), son of Count Carl Philipp Christian and grandson of Simon Elmershausen von Wartensleben, Prussian councilor and Drost zu Hausberge († 1798), was the progenitor of the younger Austrian line. He married a Countess Teleki and died in 1798 as an Imperial and Royal General Feldzeugmeister . His great-grandson August Wilhelm Laszlo (* 1804), heir to Gyömrö, Farkasd and Vasad near Pest in the Kingdom of Hungary, became first lieutenant. He married Barbara Patay de Baj in 1830 and was able to continue the tribe.

The manor house in Rogäsen

In the 19th century, the family acquired the Rogäsen manor in the then Prussian province of Saxony , in today's state of Brandenburg from the von Werder family . A family association was founded in Berlin on October 14, 1871 .

Gabriele Countess von Wartensleben (1870–1953), born in Ansbach (Bavaria) as Gabriele Andrian-Werburg , in 1890 with Dr. Konrad Graf married by Wartensleben (1864-1931), was the first woman on May 3, 1900 the University of Vienna Dr. phil. PhD. The first published summary of the basic ideas of the Gestalt theory by Max Wertheimer comes from her .
