history

The family was first mentioned in a document on April 12, 1207 with Henricus de Zablatwiz , who appeared again in 1210 as Henricus de Zabulotez . The family line begins with Heinrich von Zabeltitz , who appears in a document from 1463 to 1466. The headquarters of Zabeltitz , today a village in the district of Meißen in Saxony, was owned by the family until the end of the 14th century.

In the 15th century a tribe came to Niederlausitz . Members of the family were able to acquire extensive property there in the 16th and 17th centuries. At the end of the 15th century they came to Silesia and in the middle of the 16th century to the Mark Brandenburg , where Topper , south of Lagow , became their headquarters. Generations of them cultivated an estate in the village for over three centuries, the owner was Ernst v. Sable seat. The family was still on toppers at the 1871 census. Carl Wilhelm v. Zobeltitz auf Topper was Marshal of the Order of St. John ; after the death of master master Margrave Karl in 1762, he took part in the investiture of the newly elected master master, Prince August Ferdinand of Prussia , on September 13, 1762 .

Two main lines developed in the first half of the 18th century. The first owned, among other things, Spiegelberg bei Topper in the Oststernberg district and Gleinig in the Guhrau district . She continued the name Zobeltitz. The second line was wealthy with Eichow (today a district of the Kolkwitz community ) in the Cottbus district and temporarily owned an East Prussian branch called Zobel von Zabeltitz . The two well-known writers Fedor von Zobeltitz (* 1857 - † 1934) and Hanns von Zobeltitz (* 1853 - † 1918) and later his son Hans Caspar von Zobeltitz (* 1883 - † 1940) come from the first line .
