According to the family history, as presented in the nobility diploma of 1682, the family came from Brabant and Gelderland ; they were good nobles there. Joachim von Wedderkop, a lieutenant colonel in the army of King Philip II of Spain , left his fatherland because of his faith and moved to Franconia . Joachim's grandson Henning Wedderkopff was initially a lieutenant in Wallenstein's cavalry; he settled in Husum, where he traded “with copper and other things”.

According to the Genealogical Handbook of the Nobility , the family comes from Lower Saxony and begins its line of families with the farmer Magnus Wedderkop from Barum and his son Henning Wedderkop , documented in 1635 († 1662), who was a coppersmith and merchant in Husum . His son was the legal scholar and Schleswig-Holstein statesman Magnus von Wedderkop (1637-1721); he became the progenitor of a number of lawyers, officers and diplomats in the service of Denmark , Sweden and later Prussia .

According to the Hamburger Abendblatt of November 12, 1962, Magnus von Wedderkop (1882–1962) was the last bearer of Wedderkop's name .
