This panel with the assumptions about the origin of the familie was pusblished in the family chronicles of Viktor von der Lippe

As the sources of the time of the birth of the family are very scarce, these theories are correctly addressed as assumptions. There are also contrary theories available that are for instance based on a published document of Max Scheele in the “Deutschen Geschlechterhandbuch, Band 194, Zweiter Ravensberger Band, Verlag C. A. Starke, Limburg an der Lahn, 1987: Seite 3”.

According to that theory the following parentage would also be possible:
