Voss (Lower Saxon noble families)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of the von Voss (Oldenburger Münsterland / Osnabrücker Nordland)

Voss , also called Vos in early documents, in Latin Vulpes or Wlpes, is the name of several families of lower nobility from north-west Germany. Three of them led a red fox in a golden field: the Voss family from Vechta, the Voss family from Diepholz and the Voss zu Päpinghausen family.

A relationship with the Mecklenburg family von Voss (also with the eponymous fox in the coat of arms) and the Altmark Voss could not be established, but because in the course of the eastern colonization many colonists including the lower nobility from Westphalia, Lower Saxony and the Benelux in what is now East Germany and Poles immigrated, a relationship would not be unthinkable. In addition, first names as well as Johannes, Heinrich and Friedrich are represented by the Voss from Mecklenburg and from the Osnabrücker Nordland in the earlier generations.

History of the Voss from the Oldenburger Münsterland and Osnabrücker Nordland

This family appears in 1220 with Johannes Vulpes as a witness for the Counts of Ravensberg in Vechta. The family was or became resident in the neighboring Osnabrücker Nordland. Most of the goods were along the way from Quakenbrück to Bersenbrück. There the family split into two lines. The older line was located at Burgmannshof No. 5 (Loxterhof) and a younger line at Gut Mundelnburg .

coat of arms

The Voss zu Quakenbrück led a striding red fox in gold. This is repeated on the helmet.

History of the Voss from Diepholz

The Münte in Diepholz

This family lived in Diepholz on Gut Münte from the early 16th century until the late 19th century. In the Max von Spießen collection, the progenitor of Voss zur Münte, the Landdroste von Oldenburg-Jever and later Drost zu Diepholz Cord Voss (before 1523–1587), is connected to the Mundelnburg branch. According to recent studies, this should not come from Quakenbrück ; The Mundelnburg line also does not name the line of origin in the series of aristocratic samples of the German Order.

coat of arms

Coat of arms of the Voss zur Münte

Like the Voss family from Quakenbrück, they ran a natural gold fox. However, a jumping fox both on the helmet and in the shield. The shield bearer and the motto were probably not included in the coat of arms until the 19th century.

Bearer of the name of Voss zur Münte

  • Curt Andreas Adolph von Voss (born April 15, 1788 in Diepholz; † October 14, 1858 at Gut Münte in Diepholz) was a German district administrator, administrative lawyer and politician in the Kingdom of Hanover.

History of the Voss zu Päpinghausen

The Voss zu Päpinghausen from the Minden area appear in Minden documents from the first half of the 13th century to the early 14th century. After that, the trace is lost and the family seems to have died out in the male line. This family was up to an upright fox with a drooping tail.
