Occupation: Property-owner (Godsejer)
Reference: KJ note
Claus Köller is recorded as being the Squire (godsejer: meaning
property-owner) of an estate in "Pommern" (that being Pomerania: the
north east coast of Deutschland/Germany), called "Hohensee." He is
mentioned in records dating from 1470 to 1494. According to E.F.S.
Skovgaard the Bornholmer Köller-family has its roots in southern
Schleswig (now part of Deutschand/Germany) and is reckoned among the
nobility there. That family's coat-of-arms is a shield bearing a
french-lily and a helmet with two vessel-horns. Pomerania is an
historical region of the Baltic Sea, at its greatest extent
comprising the territory between Stralsund and the Vistula and
including Rügen Island. Occupied by Slavic and other peoples, the
entire area between Oder and Vistula conquered by Boleslav III of
Poland in 1119-23. In the 12th century the west part was penetrated
by Germans, who erected the Duchy of Pomerania (included territory on
both sides of the lower Oder). The east part came under the rule of
the Teutonic Knights, and was ceded to Poland in 1466 as part of west
Prussia.
