Von Galen is an old, noble, Westphalian family, historically Roman Catholic, from the County of Mark.

History

The earliest von Galens appeared in the twelfth century. Some branches of the family spread to East Prussia through the crusades and military expeditions of the Teutonic Order during the high and late Middle Ages. The German branches still in existence hold the titles of Freiherr (baron) and Graf (count).

Famous Members

  • Christoph Bernhard von Galen, prince-bishop of Münster during the Counter-Reformation.
  • Clemens August Graf von Galen, who as bishop of Münster opposed the Nazis.
