Vincke Family
The House of Vincke is the name of an old Westphalian noble family. History First recorded in 1223 in Osnabrück, their name derives from the zoonym ''finch'' (Middle High German '). They acquired estates in the present communities of Melle (''Gut Ostenwalde'') and Rödinghausen (''Haus Kilver'') in the 14th century, and in the 18th to 19th centuries further possessions in Rödinghausen and other parts of Westphalia, as well in Silesia (Kilver line). In the 19th century, Prussia granted the habitual right to the title ''Freiherr'' (baron); the predicate ''von'' was used only by parts of the family (''Freiherren Vincke'' vs. ''Freiherren von Vincke''). Notable member of the Olbendorf line (Kilver line) of the family was the Prussian politician Carl von Vincke. Ludwig von Vincke, of the Ostenwalde line (1774–1844), served as president of the Prussian Province of Westphalia. His sons were the politician Georg von Vincke, known for fighting a pistol duel with Otto von Bismarck i ...
