Zesterfleth
The family Zesterfleth ( Lords of Zesterfleth zu Bergfried ) belongs to the ancient nobility of Bremen and derives its name from its no longer existing parent company Zesterfleth , whose place had its own church early on, was on an Elbe island at the site of Hahnöfersand , and probably one Storm surge on November 18, 1412 was washed away.
history
The lineage of the family begins with the knight Marquard of Cestervlete . The family crypt is located under the church in Steinkirchen (Altes Land) (St. Martini et Nicolai zu Steinkirchen; first mentioned in 1332) close to their ancestral castle keep, which existed until 1857. They donated the altar, pulpit, etc. to the half-timbered church in Grünendeich, built in 1608 , at that time they had their residence on the Sassenhof . The Celle Oberappellationsrat Diedrich VIII. Christian Arnold de Zesterfleth, a descendant of Eberhard von Zesterfleth, and his descendants were entitled to use the baron title in a confirmation of the nobility in 1813 by Jérôme Bonaparte .
