FoundedHoly Roman Empire (Holy Roman Empire)

The von Santen or von Zanten family (spelled variously, also including van Santen, van Zanten, and de Zanten) is an old German noble family from the Rhineland. One of the oldest extant German aristocratic families, they belong to the Uradel (‘ancient nobility’) of the Prince-Bishopric of Münster, a principality of the Holy Roman Empire.[1]

History

The earliest known member of the family is Johannes de Santen, a Ministerial of the Prince-Bishop of Münster circa 1295.[2] The family served the Prince-Bishops as knights for several centuries[3] until moving north to the County of East Friesland following the Reformation. There, they joined the patriciate of Emden and became considerable landowners in the surrounding areas and, after 1744, other parts of Prussia.[4] Eventually the family dispersed, and members now live all over the world.[5]

Heraldry

Escutcheon: Argent, to a naissant stag Gules, mouv, of three fess wavy Azure in base and accompanied in chief in sinister of a rose of the second. Crest: an issuant stag Gules.[6]
