Mecklenburgische Adelsgeschlechter

Mecklenburgian Noble Families from A like Ahrenstorff to Z like Zülen. The author Joachim von Pritzbuer (1665-1719) was a Mecklenburg nobleman, Danish state councilor, chief land steward of the Duchy of Bremen and the County of Oldenburg. He belonged to the Mecklenburg noble family von Pritzbuer. His parents were the hereditary lord of Grabenitz, Kelle, Walow, Schweez, Liesow, and Gross Meinsow, chief administrative officer in Wredenhagen, court master and educator of Duke Gustav Adolf of Mecklenburg, countly Oldenburg-Delmenhorst court and chancellery councilor, and ducal Mecklenburg secret and court councilor, Andreas von Pritzbuer (1608-1667), and his wife Ilsabe von Stralendorff (after 1680). Regarding the old seals and the coat of arms of the Pritzbuer, Friedrich Crull states in 1887: "The v. Pritzbuer currently bear a black double-headed eagle without heads in white on the shield and the same on the helmet. The latter is quite clearly incorrect, as the old seals consistently show a half wheel adorned with (eagle) feathers as helmet decoration." Reprint of the original edition from 1894.
