Zuhm (noble family)
Zuhm or Zuhmen is the name of an old, now extinct, Rügen noble family that last flourished in Holland .
There is no tribal relationship with the original Holstein Suhm , which is more frequently postulated in older literature , and who received a Danish nobility diploma in 1683 with direct reference to the Jasmund line of the Zuhm .
history
In the years 1237 and 1242 the brothers Sumkeke and Martin appeared for the first time as documentary witnesses in the entourage of Prince Wizlaw I of Rügen, they were able to found the places Zimkendorf (Sumekendorf) and Martensdorf about 10 km west of Stralsund on the mainland part of the principality attributed.
The family then divided in the 14th century into the two tribes named after the Rügen peninsulas Wittow with the goods Gudderitz, Varnkevitz, Grabow and Üselitz as well as Jasmund with the goods Mahlow and Trochendorf. A third tribe of Kaiseritz-Kluptow ran out after 1431 and 1461, after the brothers Arndt and Schire Zuhm sold Kaiseritz and Kluptow to the Bergen monastery .
The family also gained notoriety when in 1405 Wulfhard Wulflam was accused of being guilty of the death of his friend, the rügen knight Starke Zuhm . Whose body was brought before the Wulflamhaus from where had him taken away for burial Wulflam. The son of Starke Zuhm , Thorkel Zuhm , killed Wulflam in 1409 in the churchyard of Bergen on Rügen .
From 1603 Pribbert Zuhm was also in the fiefdom of Poseritz . His patron's chair made of pine wood from 1598 is still preserved in the church there. The last estates of Zuhm on Rügen were Trochendorf, Mahlow and Üselitz. The former two came into pledge possession and fell to the creditors of the von Krassow , von Kahlden and von Bohlen families at the latest in 1685 and finally came to the Rittmeister and deputy of the Rügischen knighthood, Julius Christoph von der Lancken auf Vorwerk in 1763 . Legal attempts by the Danish von Suhm to join the feudal succession were unsustainable. Üselitz also came to their creditors, the von ancestors' family , in 1644 after the Zuhms there had ruined themselves with the construction of the mansion in the Renaissance style . Formerly the last owner was the Swedish Rittmeister Erich von Zuhm (1593–1644) or his son Ernst Christoph von Zuhm , who was a Junker in the Croÿ'schen regiment. Ernst von Zuhm († 1657) also went into Dutch service from the Üselitz house . His family flourished for three more generations in the Netherlands and died out in the male line with Daniel Zuhm († 1747) in Amsterdam .
