Wense is the name of an old noble family from Lower Saxony with the parent house of the same name in the Fallingbostel district ( Lüneburg Heath ).

history

The gender is in 1330 with the " Famulus " John of the Wense with Good Wense invested , first mentioned. The direct line of tribe begins with Otto von der Wense († before 1408), mentioned in a document in 1367 as a landlord on Wense.

Wense, Dorfmark I, Dorfmark II, Holdenstedt I, Holdenstedt II, Mörse , Hattorf, Dedenhausen , Oppershausen , Klein Eicklingen , Eldingen I, Eldingen II, Bargfeld , Wohlenrode belonged to the property in the Principality of Lüneburg .

Eldingen and Holdenstedt, where the family owned the Holdenstedt Castle until 1977 , are still owned by the family today. The Wense family estate, located between Dorfmark and Soltau and most recently a forest estate, had to be sold in 1936 to avoid expropriation for the purposes of the Wehrmacht . The forests acquired as replacement in the Landkreis Land Hadeln auf dem Dobrock have been designated as "Schutzforst Wense" due to a decree of the Reich and Prussian State Forest Master.

The family funeral of those von der Wense with a chapel and the grave slab of Jürgen von der Wense († 1572), which was formerly in the St. Martin church of Dorfmark , is preserved in Wense.
