Coat of arms of those of Wickede

Wickede is the name of an aristocratic family originally from Dortmund (Dortmund-Wickede), who rose in the Lübeck city patrimony and in this city from the exclusive circle society had fifteen councilors and six mayors during 450 years of membership in the council since 1326 . Branches of the family still exist today.

history

The family first appears in a document in 1230 with Ludbertus von Wickede , councilor of the imperial and Hanseatic city of Dortmund. At the beginning of the 14th century, a branch of the family appeared in Lübeck, where members of the council and the patrician circle society founded in 1379 belonged. This is where the family line begins with Hermann von Wickede (1294–1367) from Dortmund, gentleman at the Löwenhof near Lübeck (today Altlauerhof ), councilor and mayor of the city of Lübeck. His son Segebodo von Wickede , documented on August 15, 1384, became a Knight of the Teutonic Order and Commander in Reval . In the same year, on September 1, 1384, Everhard von Wickede appears among squires with knightly citizens.

Gottschalk Anton von Wickede auf Tolzin, Niegleve and Fredenhagen was accepted into the Mecklenburg nobility in 1702 .

Today the Wickedestrasse in Lübeck's St. Lorenz district commemorates the Wickede family.

Important representatives of the family

Having immigrated from Dortmund , the von Wickede family provided councilors and mayors in the Hanseatic city of Lübeck for over 400 years :

The family was also represented by canons in the Lübeck cathedral chapter for centuries :

  • Johann von Wickede was canon since 1598; he died on July 21, 1599
  • Gottschalk von Wickede had been canon since July 18, 1674 and died on February 15, 1721

Landed gentry, civil servants and military (and two writers)

Like other families of the Lübeck patriciate, the family pushed out of the city over time and preferred to cultivate the property in Holstein and Mecklenburg itself , which they had initially only acquired from the point of view of pension investments.

Other members of the family embarked on military careers, following an old family tradition.

In the registration book of the Dobbertin monastery there are 13 entries by daughters of the von Wickede families from Tolzin, Gorschendorf, Güstrow and Rostock from the years 1700–1863 for inclusion in the aristocratic women's monastery .

Burial chapel

The Lübeck grave chapel of the von Wickede family is located in the north aisle of the cathedral . It belonged to the Schoneke family until the middle of the 14th century and was later acquired by the von Wickede family. When all of the family's burial sites were divided up, the Wickede chapel went to the von Calven family in 1634 , from whom it was bought back in 1658 by the councilor and later mayor Gottschalk von Wickede. After his death in 1669, the Wickede Chapel fell to his son-in-law, the imperial resident Heinrich Adrian Müller , who transferred it to councilor Thomas Heinrich von Wickede as early as 1672.

Foundations

  5. ↑ In the Siebmacher from 1703 the coat of arms can be seen on plate 197, there the horns (also interpreted as elephant tusks or ibex horns) are bent forward (however, in the later Siebmacher volumes, which were started by Johann Siebmacher , the crests often contradict Viewing direction of the helmet) and the ends are wearing tassels . Max von Spießen adopted this representation in his book of arms of the Westphalian nobility in 1903 on plate 333 (p. 360), there the base of the upper half of the shield is also silver, the helmet covers are tinged black and gold. The coat of arms is also depicted on the cover sheet of the imperial privilege of 1641 of the Lübeck circle society , with horns bent back and tassels at the ends and on the rafters at the back, the helmet covers black, gold and blue. The coat of arms of Anton Gottschalck von Wickede (* 1657; † 1704), today in the St. Anne's Museum in Lübeck, shows no tassels and the horns are bent backwards; for this the eagle is shown looking at heraldically to the left atypically (opposing).
