House of Putbus
The Princes of Putbus are derived from the island of Rügen noble family. They were at times in the Danish ( Podebusk ) and Swedish nobility and were collected in 1723 in the Imperial Count and 1807 in Swedish, 1815 in the Prussian prince conditions.
History
The noble family of Putbus is of Slavic origin and is considered a sideline of the rügischen Princely House. It is derived from the 1193 documentary mentioned Stoislaw, of a close relative Jaromars I. was likely and is sometimes regarded as a brother of the prince. At first the men were equal ownership legally Putbus the Prince of Rügen, later a fief dependence began to emerge. The original possessions were at Vilmnitz (now a district of Putbus ) on Rügen and Brandshagen. The term Putbus was first mentioned in 1286 and taken over by the middle of the 14th century by all family members.
The Danish King Erik VI. Menved, lord of the Principality of Rügen, moved 1309, the Lords of Putbus together with the Lords of Gristow to renounce the succession in the event of the extinction of the royal house. As the 1325 actually happened, the Putbus vassals of the dukes of Pomerania - Wolgast were.
Since the 13th century there were family ties between the Putbus and the Danish nobility. Members of the family were in Danish service and held high offices. These included Henning II of Putbus, which at times led the state affairs in Denmark, after the death of Valdemar IV, and the bishop of Odense, Waldemar I.
1493 shared the family in a Danish ( pridborsche ) line under Pridbor V. and rügische ( walde marsche ) line under Valdemar II The walde marsche line received in 1652 the Pomeranian Erbmarschallamt. After they died in 1702 the now belonging to Swedish Pomerania rügischen possessions in 1704 went to the pridborsche line. For the relief of the reign Putbus sold Malte Friedrich 1780, the Danish possessions.
With Wilhelm Malte I., who erected from 1838 to 1846 the hunting lodge Granitz, died the family of Putbus 1854 in the male line. About his daughter Clotilde, who was married to Friedrich Graf von Wylich and Lottum, title and entailed estates went to his grandson Wilhelm Carl Gustav Malte of Wylich and Lottum (1833-1907), in 1861 with royal approval the name Wilhelm Malte II, Prince and Mr. Putbus, accepted. He left in 1872 to build the Putbus lock again after a fire.
His grandson Malte von Veltheim - Lottum came in 1934 to the legacy of his maternal grandfather Wilhelm Malte II and called himself now Malte of Putbus (* 1889 † 1945). He died in the Sachsenhausen concentration camp. His son Franz von Putbus (* 1927 † 2004) lost in 1945 - in addition to the Wylich Lottum'schen - owned castle Lissa at Wroclaw - by the land reform and the possessions of the house Putbus, which comprised about one-sixth of the island of Rügen. He rose after the reunification in 1990, before the court unsuccessfully claims to a refund of the extensive estate. Since 1951, he led the unofficial title of Prince and Lord of Putbus. The names leadership of Prince Putbus has not been challenged by the German nobility Legal Committee and entered the family in the Genealogical Handbook of the nobility in the royal houses. Prince Franz bought a house at the Circus in Putbus and low parts of the lands back that his son Malte took over in 2004.
