Vultejus (noble family)
Vultejus (also Vultée ) is the name of a Hessian noble family . The gender comes from Wetter near Marburg an der Lahn in Hesse.
history
For the first time the family appears in a document in 1404 with the German order later by Wetter Ludwig Wille. The uninterrupted line of trunks begins with alder Johannes Will, documented in 1462, died in 1504 in Wetter. His grandson Jost Will Latinized his name in the course of his academic training and called himself Justus Vultejus from then on. His son Hermann Vultejus was raised to imperial nobility on December 28, 1630 in Vienna .
In the next generation, the family split into two lines, Marburg and Kassel , which still exist today. In the line of Marburg, Hermann's grandson, the Hessen-Kassel Vice Chancellor Hermann von Vultejus, changed his name around 1714, in keeping with a fashion of the time, into the name form of Vultée, which is still widely used in this line today . He received a knightly imperial nobility confirmation with an improvement in the coat of arms on October 8, 1694. The Marburg line divided into three further branches in the middle of the 18th century: Kleinensee , Hachborn and Marburg .
The possessions that the Lords of Vultée acquired in the 17th and 18th centuries included u. a. Manors in Elnhausen near Marburg, Adorf near Korbach , Kleinensee near Friedewald , Dippach near Eisenach , Bosserode near Rotenburg and Wieblingen , today's district of Heidelberg .
From the 18th to the middle of the 19th century the family belonged to the knighthood of the old Hessen . Numerous high officials and officers emerged from the family, mainly in the service of Hesse.
The line "Kassel", founded by the Hessian Chancellor Johannes Vultejus, carries the original name form "Vultejus" up to the present day.
coat of arms
The silver coat of arms shows a black brackish head with a gold collar growing out of the edge of the foot and turning sideways. The shield figure on the crowned helmet. The helmet cover is black and silver.
