1394 Wieste
In this chapter I will describe what we know of the genealogy of the Abeln Families
from Wieste.
But although its is the oldest known Abeln family and although Wertle/Wieste
is still one of the areas with the most living Abeln I do not know much about
this family. I had to do research for it in the next years

Special document "Freibauernurkunde" of 1394
By the "Freibauernurkunde" of 1394 the farmers of the Hümmlings
became free farmers because they accepted the power of Münster
and this farmers promised to help the bishop of Munster with the conquest
of Cloppenburg. A "free
farmer" has more personal freedom than a serf.
In this document also the name Abeln is mentioned as a "Freibauer
des Hummlings" .
