The canonist Hermann de Insula probably came from this family . In 1381 he received his doctorate in Bologna as a doctor decretorum . Soon afterwards he worked at the University of Prague , then in Vienna . He was also a scholar at the cathedral monastery in Meissen . Eventually he became an auditor at the Roman Rota and compiled a collection of decisions from that court. On June 16, 1390 he is named as deceased. The later bishop of Merseburg Johannes von Werder († 1466) also worked at the Rota , his epitaph in Merseburg Cathedral shows the family coat of arms. His relative Peter von Werder was cathedral scholaster, later cathedral thesaurar in Magdeburg, he died in 1466 as cathedral cantor in Merseburg.

The sex died out with Johann Carl von Werder auf Roßbach († 1794) in the male line.
