Züle (noble family)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Coat of arms of those of Züle

Züle , historically also Zühlen , Zülen , Zulen , Zul , Zyle or Tzüle , as well as after the respective estate Gudow , Niendorf , Steinhorst or Zecher , is the name of an originally Lauenburg noble family , which later spread to Mecklenburg , where it is ultimately in 18th century is extinguished.

At the end of the Middle Ages in Lauenburg, the Züle were among the most important and influential lower-nobility families. They are to be distinguished from the tribal and coat of arms of the Zülow , with which they are occasionally confused in historical literature.

history

Weltzien lets the lineage of the family begin with Heinrich de Czecher , 1254 knight, gentleman on Zecher and Schwerin feudal man .

Gudow , which was sold to Marquard von Zecher by Duke Erich I in 1334 at the latest, was the ancestral property of the family's Lauenburg possessions . The possession of this manor of over 5000 ha was connected with the dignity of the hereditary land marshal of the Duchy of Saxony-Lauenburg , d. H. the chairmanship of the Lauenburgische Ritter- und Landschaft. This connection made Gudow a political center of Lauenburg. In 1466 and 1470, respectively, the Züle sold the estate to Werner and Friedrich von Bülow, who also gave their family the hereditary marshal dignity, which Gudow still owns today.

Especially for the 14th and 15th centuries, Seedorf , Niendorf , Stintenburg , Steinhorst, Duvensee and Walksfelde are other Lauenburg possessions of the family. The first mention of Stubben in 1408 goes back to the sale of the village by a Zulen to Duke Erich the Elder .

Also as early as the 13th century, the Züle appeared to be possessive in Mecklenburg, especially in the Wittenburg district . The oldest estate , however, was Nieklitz , which belonged to the Boitzenburg office at that time and which Kuno von Züle and his son Vicke gave to the Zarrentin monastery in March 1370 together with Klemperow ( wüst ) and Perlin .

coat of arms

The crest showing one of and red and black in blue geschachten , set obliquely beam (arrow iron) . On the helmet with blue-gold or blue-silver covers, three upright peacock feathers , occasionally the beam in front of it perpendicular.

A von Hagen family on Nybøl, who came from Holstein in Denmark since 1432 and which died out in 1641 , carried the same coat of arms, but with a reversed beam. Already in the 14th century witnesses from Hagen and von dem Hagen with the coat of arms of the Züle appeared in Mecklenburg, although these were assumed to have blue-silver helmet covers. In both cases they should be agnates of the Zule .
