Coat of arms of those of Zeromski-Brochwicz

Zeromski-Brochwicz is the name of an aristocratic family that lived in Western Pomerania in the 18th and 19th centuries .

history

The von Zeromski-Brochwitz family was first mentioned in German aristocratic books in 1761, including the list of noble families in Pomerania von Brüggemann . The name Brochwicz comes from Poland. A noble Polish family that settled in Silesia later called themselves Brauchicz and Brauchitsch there . Zeromski and Brochwicz are typical names of the Polish nobility, the Szlachta .

Jerskewitz Castle around 1860, Alexander Duncker collection

From 1761 to 1780 the captain Michael Stanislaus von Zeromski-Brochwicz acquired several goods in the Stolper Kreis and formed the Jerskewitz manor with considerable oak and spruce wood. He acquired the Jerskewitz estate (a) and Feldmark Damerow (later called Neu- Zeromin ) in 1761 from Hans von Puttkamer and Anna Hedwig, née. von Woyen for 766 Reichsthaler . Michael Stanislaus von Zeromski was a grandson of von Puttkamer. In 1764 he elected Stanislaus II August Poniatowski as King of Poland. In 1775 he bought Jerskewitz (d) from Johann Wilhelm von Puttkamer and in 1780 the Gloddow , Groß Nossin (a) and (b), Jerskewitz (c) and Saviat estates from August Christian Ludwig von Puttkamer .

In 1805 Friedrich Jakob von Zeromski was a captain in the Prussian regiment v. Favrat to Glatz. He fell in 1806 in the battle of Jena and Auerstedt.

Captain Casimir von Zeromski, the son of Michael Stanislaus von Zeromski, expanded the manor with additional farms.

Jerskewitz Castle in the 19th century

In the next generation, Lieutenant Julius Caesar Gerhard von Zeromski (born March 30, 1803) took over the Jerskewitz manor and married on October 21, 1834 in the evangel. Church of St. Mary in Danzig the Comtesse Louise von Klingsporn (* 1810). The couple had six children: five girls and a son Carl Heinrich. The eldest daughter Marie Charlotte Friederike (born September 19, 1835) married the pastor Cyrenius Friedrich Theodor Balfanz in Sageritz and the third-oldest daughter Luise Eleonore Margarethe (born September 1, 1839) married the pastor Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Köppen on October 4, 1859 in Groß Schlönwitz The marriage of the daughters to pastors was not an unusual occurrence, since young pastors often worked as teachers in the noble families.

Carl Heinrich von Zeromski (* 1836; † 1878), great-grandson of Michael von Zeromski, succeeded in 1862 for the estate of Jerskewitz and Zeromin, which at that time was worth 46,285 thalers. In 1867 he had the castle rebuilt in its original condition (see picture in). He had been with Klara Louise, b. Steffen married. They had four daughters, no son. Carl Heinrich was the last bearer of this Zeromski line.

coat of arms

The coat of arms shows in the red shield below a lying deer of natural color with the head turned to the left and the right forefoot raised; above it a silver half moon with a face pointing upwards with the horns, on each side and above a golden star; on the crowned helmet with red and silver covers five white ostrich feathers.

A large number of Pomeranian noble families have the crescent moon and stars in their coats of arms, although their arrangement and position vary. There are different opinions about the meaning of these symbols. Historians assume that these gold-star coats of arms were bestowed on deserving and brave fighters after the Thirty Years' War . The lying golden crescent was considered a feudal symbol of the German knights with inheritable fiefs (goods).

R. Cramer gives another explanation: The Pomeranian and Brandenburg nobility took part with their sons on the side of Poland in the Ottoman-Polish War 1620–1621 . As a sign of the successful campaigns, the aristocratic houses included the moon and stars in their coats of arms. According to tradition, the crescent moon below is supposed to indicate the defeat of the Turks and against the Poles.

The coat of arms of the Polish noble family von Brochwicz contained a deer with red antlers, which appeared as a heraldic animal in Polish coats of arms before 1300. The deer in the coat of arms of the von Zeromski-Brochwicz family has its origin there. The family belonged to the Brochwicz coat of arms community , which included more than 60 families who were usually not related to each other.
