Wendhausen (noble family)
Wendhausen originally: Probst of Wendhausen , later Stisser of Wendhausen , is the name of a baronial Brunswick noble family .
history
The family began with Philipp Ludwig Probst (* 1633; † 1718), who was in the service of the Brunswick dukes Rudolf August and Anton Ulrich and in 1682 received the name-giving estate Wendhausen as a fief . In addition to this, from 1618 he also owned Riddagshausen and Schöningen . On October 11, 1683, Emperor Leopold raised the feudal taker to imperial nobility, who from then on was allowed to call himself von Wendhausen . From 1683 onwards, Philipp Ludwig Probst had the Wendhausen moated castle built on the foundations of the previous castle , which was completed after five years of construction.
Probst von Wendhausen left only one daughter, Dorothea Elisabeth von Wendhausen , who was married to Joachim Christoph Stisser , ducal councilor from the old Quedlinburg council family, whose lineage begins with Hans Stisser, originally from 1486–1494. Joachim Christoph Stisser was raised to the imperial nobility on July 3, 1684 as Stisser von Wendhausen . On March 23, 1721, the Reichsfreiherrenstand came to him with the address "Well-born" as from Wendhausen . He died on October 11, 1724 in Plau , where the family owned the property and the Plau Castle .
His daughter Ilsa Louise Stisser , widowed von Imhoff , inherited Wendhausen Castle as early as 1718 . In 1719 she married Konrad Detlev von Dehn , but died after a short marriage in childbed , which made von Dehn a universal heir.
The barons of Wendhausen , who also owned Görzig (1721–1781) in Anhalt , then turned to Mecklenburg , where they already farmed Groß Ridsenow in 1724 , which they inherited from 1748–1783. They also owned the goods Klein Ridsenow (1749–1783), Belitz and Vietschow (1781–1792) and Kessin (1746–1784) at Crivitz as pledge at Güstrow .
On December 30, 1839, a Braunschweig confirmation of the baron status for the ducal Braunschweig chamber president Friedrich von Bülow (1772-1840) with a name and coat of arms association with the barons of Wendhausen was issued .
coat of arms
The coat of arms (1683/1684) was divided twice ; in the first blue field a black eagle , in the second red field a golden lion , the lower field divided diagonally to the right by green and red six times. On the crowned helmet with red and silver blankets on the right and silver-red blankets, a growing black eagle.
