Tresckow
- See also Treskow (noble family) and Tresckow, Pennsylvania
Tresckow is a German aristocratic family originating from Mark Brandenburg and belonging to the German nobility dating back to the middle ages (German: Uradel). A prominent branch of the family is known as Treskow and acquired substantial land and wealth in the 18th and 19th century.[1][2]
The family was first mentioned in 1336, when Hinricus Treskowe, Lord of Buckow, was mentioned.[3][4]
General and anti-Nazi conspirator Henning von Tresckow was one of the prime movers behind what led to the 20 July plot to assassinate Hitler.

Imitation of name and coat of arms[edit]
In the 19th century, a Dano-Norwegian family named Treschow, which is unrelated to the Tresckow family, adopted a coat of arms based upon that of the German Tresckow family. The name of the Dano-Norwegian family has a different etymology, being a corruption of the original Træskomager, meaning "wooden shoe-maker" in Danish/Norwegian.
