The Droste zu Vischering is the name of an old and important Westphalian noble family in the Prince-Bishopric of Münster.[1]
History
[edit | edit source]The family first appeared in written documents from 1070 with Albrecht von Wulfheim, Truchsess of the Prince-Bishops of Münster. After some time, Wulfheim family became owners of Vischering Castle and changed their family name to Droste zu Vischering, due to their hereditary title of Drost (Steward). Because of intermarriage and inheritance with the Senden family, collateral branch of the family was named Droste zu Senden in the 14th century and exists until today.
