Puttkamer
German noble family
The Puttkamer family (also abbreviated to v. Puttkamer) is a widely extended German noble family whose earliest ancestor is first recorded between 1257 and 1260 in the Lands of Schlawe and Stolp, Farther Pomerania.
01History
The Puttkamer family considers Swienca family to be their first documented ancestors. However, despite using almost the same coat of arms, historians are divided on this issue.
While some of its branches have awarded with the title of Graf, others are entitled to the lesser Freiherr. According to a widespread family tradition, many firstborn Puttkamer sons receive the first name of Jesco. The branch of the family moved in the 16th century to Livonia and from there to the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth.
