Von der Heyden (noble family)
The von der Heyden family called Belderbusch was a Rhineland - Luxemburg nobility family .
history
The family originated in the Duchy of Limburg , where it was first documented in 1374 with Simon van der Heyden . The integrated, secure regular series begins with the 1514 mortgaged der Heyden Henri van .
In 1743 the family was raised to the baron status by Empress Maria Theresa . In 1782, Caspar Anton von Belderbusch and his descendants and heirs were raised to the rank of imperial count . One of his nephews, Karl Leopold von Belderbusch , was appointed Comte de l'Empire in 1810 . The baronial branch was decided by Baron Clemens Wenzeslaus von der Heyden (1774-1840) at Niederweis Castle . He bequeathed his entire fortune, just so that the family would not inherit anything, to his foundation to support those in need ("Von der Heyden and von Schütz'sche Foundation").
In 1907 the Prussian nobility was recognized with confirmation of the coat of arms that had been used since the 18th century.
The family was wealthy in the southern Eifel , for example at Niederweis Castle , Stolzenburg and Niedersgegen and Prümerburg .
