history
The family with Fridericus de Cemin was first mentioned in a document on March 31, 1206 as a witness to Margrave Dietrich von Meißen . The line of the family begins with the knight Thimo von Zehmen , who is documented from 1331 to 1363.
In 1576 the German Emperor granted the brother and sons of Achaz I the status of imperial baron (Fabian I + II, Christoph and Achaz II. VZ).
Johann Anton III. von Zehmen was elected Prince-Bishop of Eichstätt in 1781 by the cathedral chapter in several strengthening rites ( scrutinies ) . Furthermore, King Albert of Saxony raised Ludwig von Zehmen to hereditary baron status in 1891 . In 1918 the family was entered in the Royal Saxon Nobility Book.
The possessions of the von Zehmen family were initially mostly fiefs of the Meissen margraves, the bishops of Merseburg and the Saxon electors. Many companies served the Wettins, the dukes and kings of Saxony. They were officers, secret councilors, diplomats, bishops, chamberlains, farmers and deputies within the knighthood in the state parliaments.
