The Zeithainer Lustlager and its consequences

Camp near Zeithain , painting by Johann Alexander Thiele

The Saxon Elector August the Strong , who was also King of Poland , held the so-called Zeithain Lustlager from May 31 to June 28 , a grandiose troop show combined with the display of royal splendor not far from the cities of Riesa and Grossenhain between the towns of Zeithain and Glaubitz and Streumen near the Saxon-Brandenburg border. In front of 48 invited European princes and their military, August presented his army in a maneuver , organized by Field Marshal Graf Wackerbarth , followed by great festivities, concluded with fireworks near Riesa. The Zeithainer Lustlager shows not only the military capabilities, but also the high level of Saxon art and culture.

The Zeithain giant stollen with the stollen knife, copper engraving by Elias Back

One of the many highlights of the festival is the presentation of a Christmas stollen weighing 1.8 tons, 18 cubits long and 8 cubits wide according to historical records , which was created by the Dresden master baker Andreas Zacharias with the help of 60 baker journeyman. For this spectacle, Oberlandbaumeister Matthäus Daniel Pöppelmann built a stove, from which the tunnel is brought to August's warehouse with the help of a cart pulled by eight horses. The large stollen knife created for this festival , a 1.6 meter long kitchen utensil made of sterling silver, is used to cut the baked goods .

At the camp there was a heated argument between the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I and his son Friedrich , whereupon the latter entrusted his friend Hans Hermann von Katte to flee to France and thus to evade his father's educational powers. Katte tries to dissuade Friedrich from his plan, but then supports him in implementing it.

Katte's execution

On August 5th, Crown Prince Friedrich was caught fleeing from his father and was imprisoned in the Küstrin fortress . His friend Hans Hermann von Katte is sentenced by a military court to life imprisonment for desertion and high treason. The Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm I converts the sentence into the death penalty and forces his son to watch the execution of his friend on November 6th . Friedrich's page and confidante Peter Karl Christoph von Keith managed to escape to England in time with the support of the British envoy Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield . He is hanged in effigy because of his involvement in Friedrich's escape plans .

Russia

  • January 29th : A few days before his planned wedding, Emperor Peter II dies of smallpox. Anna Ivanovna , daughter of Ivan V , becomes Empress of Russia after his death with the support of Chancellor Heinrich Johann Friedrich Ostermann , although Anna and Elisabeth , the two daughters of Peter the Great , would have had priority claims to the Thorn. Ostermann negotiates for his favored succession to the throne with the boyars and under the written admission that the nobility and the Senate would have co-determination rights in politics, Anna is enthroned. However, it successfully opposes the attempt by the Supreme Secret Council to restrict the rights of the autocracy through an election surrender and to have oligarchical co-determination established. After her coronation , she revokes the electoral terms she signed in Mitau . On March 8, Anna announced the restoration of the autocracy in Russia. The Supreme Secret Council is dissolved on March 14th . However, this coup-like seizure of power remains an isolated phenomenon. As a result, Anna cared little about government affairs and preferred to pursue her amusements. The distinctive luxury with which the Empress surrounds herself is unique even by the standards of the Russian court.
  • September 30 : The renewal of the Prussian-Russian alliance is based on the provisions of the defensive alliance concluded four years earlier and the renewal three years later . The renewed treaty is intended to ensure good relations between the two states after the death of the Russian Emperor Peter II .

Ottoman Empire / Persia

Mahmud I.
Patrona Halil, painting by Jean-Baptiste van Mour

Four weeks after the uprising, the empire is in the hands of the insurgents. Their leader Patrona Halil has Mahmud I elevated to sultan with the sword of Osman in the Eyup Sultan Mosque . Numerous members of the government are dismissed and new ones installed by the rebels.

The almost blind 78-year-old climbs as Clemens XII. the chair of Peter . The appointment of his nephew Neri Maria Corsini as cardinal on August 14th is one of the few nepotist traits of his tenure. His first official acts as Pope are aimed at consolidating the papal finances. Clement XII. demands cash repayments from those members of the Curia who have betrayed the trust of his predecessor. The main defendant, Cardinal Coscia, is severely punished and sentenced to ten years in prison. With the renewed introduction of the public lottery, which was previously due to grave moral concerns of Benedict XIII. has been prevented, an important source of income for the Holy See will be developed. This enables him to implement the construction plans for the Palazzo Corsini in Trastevere that he has acquired .
