Rosenvinge (noble family)

Rosenvinge (lit. ‘Rose Wing’) is a Danish and Norwegian noble family. Mogens Jensen was in 1505 ennobled by the King. From the family descends also the noble family Kolderup-Rosenvinge.

The family's progenitor, Mogens Jensen († 1528), who was Prince Christian's secretary, later overlord in Bergenhus and Mayor of Helsingør, was ennobled on 31 May 1505. He married Anna Pedersdatter, who was the daughter of Peder Hansen, Mayor of Helsingør, who himself had been ennobled in 1476 by Christian I of Denmark.

Mogens Jensen was the father of Henrik Mogensen. His patrilineal grandson Mogens Henriksen (1540–1607) was Mayor of Odense. Mogen Henriksen's sons Jørgen Mogensen (1570–1634), Mayor of Odense, and Jens Mogensen, City Manager of Odense, became the progenitors of, respectively, the Norwegian branch and the Danish branch of the family.

Jørgen Mogensen Rosenvinge (1570–1634) was the patrilineal great-grandfather of Lord Peder Kaasbøl Rosenvinge (1701–1766), priest to Selbu, and Lord Eiler Schøller Rosenvinge (1703–1776), priest to Frosta.

Peder Kaasbøl Rosenvinge was the father of Lord Jacob Christian Rosenvinge (1737–1812), priest to Ytterøy, and Eiler Hagerup Rosenvinge (1742–1805), Mayor of Bergen. His daughter Susanne Kaasbøl Rosenvinge (1738–1771) married Jesper Andreas Kolderup, and their son, General Director of the Post Peter Andreas Rosenvinge Kolderup (1761–1824) was in 1811 ennobled under the name Kolderup-Rosenvinge.

Eiler Schøller Rosenvinge was the father of Eiler Schøller Rosenvinge (1758–1818), major in Fredrikstad, Johannes Gunnerus Rosenvinge (1759–1833), ‘overvraker ’in Trondheim, Johannes Gunnerus Rosenvinge (1759–1833), rittmeister, Jørgen Coldevin Rosenvinge (1764–1842), major and proprietarian at Rosenborg by Trondheim, and Isach Georg Rosenvinge (1767–1840), rittmeister and proprietarian at Egge by Steinkjer. Eiler Schøller Rosenvinge the younger had together with three different wives several illegitimate children, who adopted the name Rosenvinge. Jørgen Coldevin Rosenvinge was the father of Johannes Rosenvinge (1804–1727), painter, and Abraham Bredahl Rosenvinge (1810–1884), meteorologist and proprietarian at Rosenborg.
