Wrisberg (noble family)
Wrisberg is the name of a Lower Saxon nobility family with the parent company Wrisbergholzen in the municipality of Sibbesse in the Hildesheim district .
history
The family first appears in a document on June 5, 1355 with Hermann Wristberg. His son Hermann Wristberg was enfeoffed with Winzenburg Castle in 1372 as a vassal of the Bishop of Hildesheim Gerhard vom Berge . In 1393 he acquired the Brunkensen bailiwick from the noblemen of Homburg . The Wrisberg family presumably had patronage over St. Martin's Church in Brunkensen since 1425.
The family had owned the formerly episcopal "curtis Holthusen" since the Middle Ages. There, let Johann Rudolph von Wrisberg, President of the Higher Appeal Court Celle, built in the years 1740-1745 by the brothers Bütemeister from Moringen a baroque castle, which Wrisbergholzen . The client and master builder had already established the faience factory there in 1736 .
Karl Friedrich von Schlitz called von Görtz (1715–1750) married Katharina Eva Sophie von Wrisberg (1721–1769) in 1737, heiress of Wrisbergholzen Castle with Brunkensen , Wesseln and Irmenseul . Their grandsons Plato, Werner and Moritz were raised to "Count von Schlitz called von Görtz and von Wrisberg" in 1817. This line, which also acquired the Limmer manor in 1840 , was mostly called "von Goertz-Wrisberg" and was divided into the branches Wrisbergholzen with Rittmarshausen and Limmer (in 1986 the male line became extinct, the goods were inherited in the female line) and Brunkensen (from Albrecht Graf sold by Görtz-Wrisberg ).
