Coat of arms of those von Hoven called Pampus

The noble family Pampus (also: von der Huben called Pampus or von der Hoven called Pampus ) is the name of a Rhenish noble family . It is based on Heinrich Pampus' marriage with Grete von der Hoven around 1430. The Pampus family came from Soest . She is mentioned in a Soest certificate from 1232 with the noble knight Heinrico Pampis as the castle man of the Counts of Ziegenhain . The von der Hoven family probably came from Hof ​​Castle near Windeck-Rosbach . The distribution area of ​​the von der Hoven family called Pampus was in the southern Bergisches Land and northern Westerwald in the Middle Ages . The Spurkenbacher family with branches in Essen and Rösrath- Hellenthal belonged to the landed gentry, as did the Uckerath family. This had branches to Much- Scheid, Hennef- Ravenstein, Hofacker and Büttgen . The family in Rheinbrohl with branches in the Plag community of Asbach , Düsternau an der Wied, Sinzig and Westerburg also belonged to the country nobility, in Sinzig to the city nobility. The branch in Westerburg became bourgeois.

There were also families in Wenden , whose relatives mostly became civil servants, in Waldbröl and Rosbach.

history

origin

The sex Pampus (Pampys) may have come from North Holland . Relatives are mentioned several times in Soester documents for the period from 1215 to 1240. The noble free knight Heinrico Pampis is named as the castle man of the Counts of Ziegenhain in a Soest certificate from 1232.

Burghaus Hof, ancestral seat of those von der Hoven called Pampus in Rosbach

Heinrich Pampus (von Soenchenrode) (* approx. 1408 in Soest, † 1467 in Schönstein), who came from Soest, married Grete von der Hoven (* approx. 1413 in Rosbach an der Sieg) around 1429 in Schönstein . Heinrich Pampus took the name von der Hoven through his marriage to Grete von der Hoven . The headquarters of vom Howe or von der Hoven is the "Burghaus Hof" saddle estate in Rosbach an der Sieg . Grete's father was the knightly Sbringen von der Hoven (* approx. 1363 in Rosbach). In documents he is also called Sehmen vome Hobe and from March 1388 he was in feud with the city of Aachen together with the brothers Symon, Wilhelm and Tylmann von Isengarten as an assistant to the knight Godart von Drachenfels . In addition to his daughter Grete, he also had an older son, Reinhard, who was born around 1400. Sebrachts ancestor was Sybertus VAME Hoove from Rosbach, first mentioned in 1324. At that time Sybertus VAME Hoove by the Archbishop of Cologne by Burglehen to Schönstein at the victory invested.

Castle Schönstein in which those who Pampus from Hoven already in 1324 since 1437, Burglehen possessed

At the end of 1307 Heinrich von Wildenburg had given his castle to Count von Sayn zu Lehen. Witnesses of this process were among others a Friedrich von der Höuen . Another mention of those von der Hoven is an entry in the Mannlehnbuch of the County of Sayn , with the text: Item Mr. Friedrich von der Houen, knight, has all his goods, located in the lordship of Freusburg , borrowed from the County of Sayn.

Heinrich von der Hoven called Pampus (1408–1467) is mentioned in 1431 as the mayor of Schönstein and Wissen and on November 14, 1437 he received a castle loan from the house and court of Schönstein, located in the moat between the Sieg and the castle. He is also enfeoffed with the court of Krombach in the parish of Wissen . He also seems to have been in Bergisch service and lived at his ancestral home, the Burg zum Hove . In 1430 Heinrich and Grete received their Hof zum Berg bei Holpe in the parish of Wissen from Reinhard Pampus and his wife Agnes , up to the reimbursement of the 50 Oberland gold florins loaned to them by Heinrich. Heinrich van der Hoeuen received the castle loan . Pampus from Archbishop Dietrich of Cologne.

Until 1560, the family Pampus held the bailiff office in Windeck and Homburg , they had from 1437 to 1448, the Electorate of Cologne Burglehen Schönstein trench with knowledge that Sattelgut Spurkenbach and was related to the counts of Sayn and Count Nesselrode . These different interests ultimately led to the family's decline.

Spurkenbacher Line

The Essen line, which originated there, was still mentioned as a council member or court master in the 17th century, but disappeared soon afterwards.

Uckerath line

The Uckerath family was related by marriage to the wealthy Brambach zu Thurn near Cologne and Sturm von Blankenberg families . Thanks to success in the Thirty Years' War , the Scheid knight's seat and the Ravenstein knight's seat near Uckerath were acquired. Due to financial bottlenecks, Ravenstein soon had to be given up, the family then often married into civil servant families and became bourgeois. The branch in Büttgen near Neuss worked as lawyers and was confirmed in the nobility in 1816 and 1829.

Rheinbrohler line

The family in Rheinbrohl provided the governors of the Counts of Sayn there in the 16th century . A wealthy farm in Swisttal -Morenhoven and the aristocratic seat Plag (today Vogtslag) near Asbach (Westerwald) were acquired through marriage . Since the Pampus took part in the Reformation , which had been supported by the Counts of Sayn since 1561 , they lost their influence through the re-Catholicization of Rheinbrohl at the beginning of the 17th century. During the Thirty Years' War they were able to acquire the knightly seat of Düsternau an der Wied and the fiefdom of Eschenau near Runkel an der Lahn and to tie themselves to the families of the Counts of Isenburg and the Counts of Wied . Düsternau remained in the family for a long time. Likewise, the office of abbesses of Merten Monastery (over a hundred years) and Maria Engelport Monastery in the Hunsrück (over eighty years). This was based on the influence of the Krafft and Schönebeck families on Düsternau, who were councilors of the Electoral Palatinate . The Sinziger branch had personal relationships with the widow of the Count Palatine, but remained without influence.

Turning branch

The Wenden branch were initially named as Richter zu Drolshagen, Rentmeister and Schultheiss zu Wenden.

The family then married around 1585 into the Strauch family, whose head of the family Martin Strauch was considered the richest man in the Siegerland at the time, became a bourgeoisie and took over the office of magistrate there.

Rosbach branch

The founder is Bertram vom Hofe, rent master and judge of the Windeck office. He dies in 1517/1518. His successor in office was his nephew Henne Pampus. Brigitte Burbach, Hamm, was able to show in a detailed local study that the agnatic descendants of Bertram took on other family names (Gerhards, Giertzer, Bestgen, Hoffer, Wilhelmi, Weinand / Wienand, Reinhardt, Wirths, Imhausen).

coat of arms

Coats of arms of those with the old von der Hoven coats of arms and possibly relatives of von Etzbach

The coat of arms shows in silver a headless black eagle raised by five (2: 1: 2) red roses. On the helmet with black and silver covers an open black flight, each covered with roses.

Older seals prove that this is not the original coat of arms of those called Pampus by the Hoven . The von der Hoven family , from which Heinrich Pampus' wife came, had an eagle flight in the family coat of arms, or an eagle wing mirrored on the vertical axis of the shield, as shown by a von der Hoven seal in 1369. The eagle wings appear above it in the coats of arms of the regionally appearing von Etzbach , von Au , von Pracht , von Geilhausen , so that the historian Hellmuth Gensicke assumes that these sexes emerged from the Reich Ministry and are possibly a tribe. A seal of a family member of the von der Hoven called Pampus also shows a rose above the wing in 1484. It is questionable whether this is a later added symbol of the coat of arms, possibly to distinguish it from the coat of arms of the male tribe of the Hoven, or whether the rose was the original coat of arms of the male tribe of the Pampus (or whether it was just ornament and / or a possible allusion to) to represent the home town of Rosbach ). The original eagle wing was later interpreted or misunderstood as an "eagle without a head". The rose became five of them, some of them standing in a separate upper half of the shield (2: 1: 2 or 3: 2). even if not really venerable, at least questionable image of the headless eagle in some depictions improved so that the supposedly "beheaded" bird was "given back" a head. In addition, in some depictions of the crest, the five roses stand between the eagle flight.
