Story

The family originally came from Westphalia and hiked to Mecklenburg as part of the East Colonization. There she was mentioned in a certificate for the first time in a document in the Ratzeburg tenth register with the Miles Vredebernus (Ketelhot). [first] The family of the family from this Vredebernus can be followed without gaps until the 21st century.

In Mecklenburg, members of the family were repeatedly mentioned in documents as witnesses, as a buyer or in donations. So gave z. B. on May 30, 1279 the brothers Matthias, Nicolaus and Gerhard the parish in Wattmannshagen three hooves and eight cathles. [2] First of all, relatives settled in the Ratzeburg and Grevesmühlen area and from 1292 on the Kambs manor near Röbel on the Müritz. Seven out of eight brothers died in the Thirty Years’ War, including the Rittmeister Lütke von Ketelhodt, who fell in the Battle of Wittstock on October 4, 1636. Gerd IV was the only brother to survive his grandson Christian-Ulrich in 1726 in the civil service of Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt. He made a career there and was finally a chancellor and consistorial president. In these high offices, a son and two grandchildren later followed him. Rudolstadt in Thuringia has been the family’s center of life in Thuringia since 1726 and remained until 1945.

Carl-Gerd from Ketelhodt, a son of Christian-Ulrich, who was also a chancellor and consistorial president, founded a well-known known library to this day, which today bears the name “Historical Library Rudolstadt”. It has now been supplemented by existing stocks of the old estate library Behringen. The Rudolstadt former private library was also used by Friedrich von Schiller. Since the Vienna Congress, the final act of the Schwarzburg-Rudolstadt delegate, the Chancellor Friedrich Wilhelm von Ketelhodt, signed with “Freiherr” on June 8, 1815, the family officially conducted the baron title. He was then confirmed again for various reasons in Mecklenburg on July 20, 1843 and in Rudolstadt on December 15, 1854 and on August 29, 1913.

After the Reich was founded in 1871, the family’s members gradually emigrated to other parts of the German Empire, including East Prussia and West Prussia.

coat of arms

The oldest coat of arms of the knight Dietrich Ketelhodt (it is called in documents between 1292 and 1314) dates from 1302. [3] The family leads a talking coat of arms and refers to the identification name “Kesselhut”. Low German: Ketel = boiler and hot = knight’s helmet or hat; Depending on how you turn the coat of arms, it is a boiler or hat (helmet).

In silver three (2: 1) black boiler hats (iron hats) with red ribbons. On the helmet with black and silver blankets, an armless, shouted man in black boiler hat. [4]

Friedrich Crull is cited: “Lat. [5] Gives a hat with three ostrich feathers as a helmet decor, v. H. [5] A pointed hat – because the kettle hats were modified -, G. [5] A fuselage with a pointed hat. According to this, the original helmet decor, if not, it seems, will only have been made of a boiler, such as with hole feathers, but so that the family covered with a boiler (armored) hull, as the family has resumed. ” [3]

After Friedrich Ludwig Anton Hörschelmann, the Rheinische line only had a Kesselhut led in the sign. A column served as a helmet decor, with a fish on it. The Upper Saxon line had led three ostrich feathers or peacock springs in the shield in the sign and on the crowned helmet. [6]

1337 becomes Arnold Ketelhodt Called from church weirs. The Ketelhodt are said to have financed a new church in church weirs around 1500. A small coat of arms, with a kettle hat in the Gothic triangular sign, was walled in the sacristy of the old church demolished in 1753; Today it can be seen on the outside above the bricked -out east portal of the church. [7]

Max von Spiessen presents as old coat of arms The Ketelhodt, “Burgmanns family zu Stromberg, now flowering in Thuringia” is a single iron hat in the shield, which is repeated on the helmet as a headgear of a bearded man’s hull. Later, three “Turkish caps” appear in the sign. [8]

As a Turkish or Tatar hats, the coat of arms also appears in the enrollment in the Frankfurt patrician company Haus Alten Limpurg, in which the Ketelhodt was recorded in 1798 by marriage, but expired in the legitimate line in 1887. [9]
