The House of Hatzfeld, also spelled Hatzfeldt, is a prominent German Countly and Princely family. They belonged to high nobility originally from Hesse. The family is first mentioned in 1138 and has its ancestral seat in Hatzfeld. In 1418 the family inherited Wildenburg Castle near Friesenhagen, a Lordship with Imperial immediacy, from the Lords of Wildenburg. Melchior von Hatzfeldt (1593–1658), Field Marshal in the Thirty Years' War, became the first Count in 1635. Franz Phillip Adrian became the first Prussian Fürst (''Prince of Hatzfeld-Gleichen-Trachenberg'') in 1741 (the branch extinguished in 1794). The ''Hatzfeldt-Werther-Schönstein'' branch inherited Trachenberg and became Prussian ''Princes of Hatzfeldt and Trachenberg'' in 1803 and Prussian ''Dukes of Trachenberg'' in 1900 (still existing). The ''Hatzfeld-Wildenburg-Weisweiler'' branch inherited Crottorf, Schönstein, Kalkum as well as numerous other properties in 1794 and became Prussian ''Princes of Hatzfeld-Wildenburg'' in 1834 (the branch extinguished in 1941 and was inherited by Count Hermann Dönhoff who took on the name of his mother's family: ''Count von Hatzfeldt-Wildenburg-Dönhoff''). == Members == *Melchior von Hatzfeldt (1593–1658), Field Marshal in the Thirty Years' War *Franz von Hatzfeld (1596–1642), Prince-Bishop of Bamberg *Carl Friedrich Hatzfeldt zu Gleichen (1718–1793), Austrian statesman *Franz Ludwig von Hatzfeld (1756−1827), Prussian General *Sophie von Hatzfeldt (1805–1881), "The Red Countess" *Paul von Hatzfeld zu Trachenberg (1831–1901), diplomat and Foreign Secretary of Germany *Elisabeth von Hatzfeldt (1839–1914), Princess of Carolath-Beuthen *Hermann von Hatzfeldt (1848–1933), politician *Georg von Hatzfeld (1929–2000), publisher, politician File:Friesenhagen - Schloss Crottorf 01 ies.jpg|Crottorf Castle near Friesenhagen (since 1563 owned by the family) File:Schloss Schönstein 2.jpg|Schönstein Castle near Wissen (since 1589 owned by the family) File:Schloss Trachenberg Sammlung Duncker.jpg|Trachenberg, Silesia (today Żmigród, Poland, 1641-1945 owned by the family) File:Duesseldorf Kalkum v SW.jpg|Kalkum Castle near Düsseldorf (early 18th century until 1946) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「House of Hatzfeld」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
