Wamekow is the name of an extinct Mecklenburg noble family with the Wamckow parent company of the same name in what is now the Sternberger Seenlandschaft district .

history

The Wamekow (Wahmkow) family seemed to have been wealthy. As early as 1311, Hermann Wamekow donated a mass in the church in Sternberg , raising fifteen marks from the village of Stieten . At that time there were four vicarages in the Sternberg church. In 1312 Hermann Wamekow bought half of the village of Rosenow , which later passed to the Holy Spirit Hospital in Sternberg. Prince Heinrich von Mecklenburg then awarded the plebanius in Pole Conradus Wahmkow , the pastor Conrad Wamekow on Pöl and his brother Hermann as a citizen of Sternberg, three Hufen and a farm in Garwensdorf, which the knight Dedwig von Oertzen had sold to them. The Wamekow gave this property to the Neukloster monastery after the death of Gertrud Wamekow, daughter of Dietrich Wamekow, who was an ancilla Christi nun in Campo Solis in this monastery. On March 4, 1317, Barthold Wamekow and his brothers donated famosi viri, nobis dilecti, cives Sternebergenses with an annual raise of twenty marks as levies from the village of Torgelow, today Forsthof Turloff north of Wamckow, for a vicarie in the Sternberg church. Sealed on March 4, 1317 at Hohen Viecheln .

After Prince Heinrich, further patrician families who stayed in Sternberg contributed to the town's growing reputation from 1329 onwards . In addition to those from Wamekow, the locators Detlev von Gadebusch, Heinrich Rolstede and Siegfried von Grönau from West Mecklenburg and Holstein also belonged to them. Hermann Wamekow was in 1306, Barthold Wamekow in 1361 and Nicolaus and Conrad Wamekow were in 1365 Ratmann / Ratmänner zu Sternberg and assessors of the court.

In 1337 Albrecht von Mecklenburg granted the Sternberg citizen Nicolaus Wamekow ownership of nine hooves in Pastin. He was named in Pastin in 1359, sitos in campis ville Partzentin, quos quidem Nicolaus Wamekowe resignauit 1359. In 1357 Nicolaus Wamekow left two and a half hooves in the village of Pastin to the Holy Spirit Hospital in Sternberg, with which a vicarage was donated. In 1359 he gave another fourteen hooves from the same village. In 1398 a Nicolaus Wamekow was mentioned as vicar at the parish church in Güstrow .

On December 11, 1428, Hinricus Wamekowe enrolled for the winter semester 1428/1429 under No. 63 at the University of Rostock .

Johann Wamekow, vicar at the parish church in Grossen-Eixen , founded a vicarage in the church in Sonnenkamp on June 6, 1434 with the consent of the bishop of Schwerin for a decent salary for the monastery and founded it from his assets with lifts from Moltenow, Veelböken and Steinfeld.

From 1446 to 1449 in the Dobbertin nunnery , in addition to provost Nicolaus Beringher, the prioress Anna Wamekow of the convent was always mentioned in the few existing documents. Both sealed the documents, but the document issued by Provost Beringher and Prioress Anna Wamekow on July 29, 1448 (Regesta No. 140) is a brazen forgery, because the unfortunately damaged buffalo head seal attached to the document belonged to them Prince Johann von Werle from 1300. Only a few months later, the same provost sealed with a beautiful provost's seal and the prioress Anna Wamekow with a small business seal.

At the end of the 15th century, the Wamekow family, which only spread around Sternberg and rarely appears in documents, died out.
