Coat of arms of those von der Wyndelen

Windelen (also Windeln or Wyndelen ) is the name of an extinct Westphalian aristocratic family who, as tenants of the Corvey Monastery, owned properties near Bruchhausen and Warburg in the 14th and 15th centuries and belonged to the Warburg patriciate .

history

Ancestral home of the family is possibly the Wingelstein ( Windelen steynen ) near Bruchhausen . As can be seen from a later document from the Bruchhausen estate, the family owned a stone manor house there in the Middle Ages as a fiefdom of the Corvey monastery , but left it in 1492. The family owned another Corvey fief near Papenheim near Warburg , which apparently prompted them to move to Warburg at the beginning of the 14th century.

In 1376 lyncing in front of Windelen was mentioned in a Warburg witness list. He was evidently a councilor. The family owned the Stern house , built in 1340 in Warburg Neustadt. In addition, she held a memorial foundation set up by Johann vor Windelen before 1381 with the Warburg Dominicans .

In 1394 Frederek ver Windelen was a citizen of Warburg and a tenant in Hohenwepel . In 1402 he witnessed the acquisition of a castle seat on the Wartberch by Johann van der Windelen . In 1421 he owned meadows above the Twistemühle.

1408–1429 Serves was a councilor in the new town several times before Windelen .

In 1457, Friedrich II. Von der Windelen , who had previously been mayor of Warburg, the last known male representative of the family, died, leaving behind his wife Ilseke and a daughter Hildaberga. In 1460 Ilseke, who had meanwhile married a Johan von Niehausen, transferred it to her daughter Hildaberga, her husband Hermann von Calenberg and their children 7/12 of the Stern family. At the same time, the couple was able to acquire 3/12 of the house from co-owner Johann von Lamerden.
