Droste zu Hülshoff (also Droste-Hülshoff) is the name of an ancient noble family of the Münsterland, which was the first name of the name von Deckebrock. Related to dynasty families, it is, despite its noble descent, at the same time the best-known of three Münster hereditary families that are still flourishing today, and from the 16th century also spread to Saxony, East Prussia, Bavaria and Baden.
It is best known through Annette von Droste-Hülshoff, an important German poet of the 19th century. In addition to this famous name-bearer, the family included many Catholic clergy, councilors and merchants, mayors, landowners, generals, civil servants, scientists and artists.
Other extinct lines of the same noble family were the Droste zu Uhlenbrock, zu Handorf, zu Hofe, zu Möllenbeck and zu Zützen or simply Drost(e).
