Barnekow (family)

Barnekow (family)

Barnekow, an Old Danish noble family name. Original from Rügen. The line later split in a Swedish and Danish branch, when Scania became Swedish, following the Treaty of Roskilde in 1658.

"Barnekow" is first mentioned in 1307, when "Ulrik Barnekow" is witness to a treaty between the King of Denmark Erik Menved and Henrik of Mecklenburg.

Earlier references are found (familysearch.org) of Alvericus de BERNEKOWE born in Barnekow, Mecklenburg-Schwerin, Germany in about 1186. Ulrich von Barnekow above, was the son of Hinricus de BARNEKOWE, who was the son of Alvericus de BERNEKOWE.

A German noble line exists as well.

Barnekow has Wendish etymology. "Baran" for ram, "ek" for dimunitive form, and "ow" referring to a place.

The whole family-line features an extensive number of personalities, including but not limited to;

* Hans Barnekow (? -1559), diplomat and member of the Privy Council of Denmark.
* Christian Barnekow (1556-1612), extensive traveller and royal diplomat of the King of Denmark
