Warnstedt even Wernstedt is the name of a noble family that the Brandenburg nobility heard and in Mecklenburg , Sweden, Denmark and Schleswig-Holstein was established.

history

The family comes from Brandenburg, the origin of the name was Warnstedt (Thale) in the Eastern Harz. Godefridus de Warnestede was first mentioned in a document in 1295 in Prignitz . The family is proven early in Mecklenburg and took part in the transfer of the three state monasteries ( Dobbertin , Malchow and Ribnitz ) to the responsibility of the knights and landscape in 1572. In Dobbertiner Einschreibebuch , the headings of six daughters from 1721 to 1900 find out Sildemow for inclusion in the aristocratic convent in the monastery Dobbertin .

She sat first on Klein Wahnstorf and Torriesdorf ( Groß Siemz ); later Kobrow ( Wardow , 1792–1796) and Sildemow ( Papendorf (Warnow) , 1720–1784), Poggelow ( Schwasdorf , 1791–1793), Wilhelmshof (1792–1818) and Zierstorf ( Groß Roge , 1752–1781) belonged to them Mecklenburg possessions.

In 1586 Christoffer von Warnstedt (1542–1627) married the illegitimate but legitimate daughter Lucretia Magnusdotter Gyllenhielm (1562–1624) of Duke Magnus of Östergötland , the third son of King Gustav Wasa . They met in 1581 at the wedding of Lucretia's aunt Elisabeth of Sweden to Duke Christoph of Mecklenburg . They became the first parents of the now only living Swedish branch of the family, which was accepted into the Swedish knight's house in the knight class under number 78 in 1625 with son Melcher Wernstedt .

In the early 18th century, the family came into Danish service. Friedrich Carl von Warnstedt inherited the goods Loitmark and Espenis near Kappeln through his wife , which Duke Karl of Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg acquired in 1840 . The Danish-Norwegian King Christian VII sent his adjutant general and chamberlain von Warnstedt to Saint Petersburg towards the end of 1770 and placed him under guarded house arrest in Copenhagen on his return for Christmas . Bernhard (* 1819), son of the royal Danish court hunter and chief forester in the Duchy of Schleswig, Christian von Warnstedt († 1828), had emigrated to America and finally disappeared.

The natural sons of Major General Karl von Warnstedt from Braunschweig-Lüneburg and Eleonore Schultze were legitimized in Braunschweig in 1788 and ennobled in 1790 under the Imperial Vicariate of Electoral Saxony.

In 1895 the Wobeser-Warnstedt name and coat of arms were united for the brothers Tezlaff and Otto von Wobeser , adoptive sons of their uncle Karl von Warnstedt , Prussian magistrate in Korbach. Furthermore, Ursula Borchers (* on March 29, 1891 in Schwaneberg) was adopted by him with the name Warnstedt and Wilhelm II raised her to the Prussian nobility in 1895 under the name von Warnstedt .
