Life

Vinsebeck Castle

Adolf Franz Friedrich von der Lippe came from the branch of the Westphalian noble family von der Lippe, which resided at Vinsebeck Castle . On March 31, 1688 he was eligible for a canon position in the predominantly Protestant Lübeck cathedral chapter . Due to the normal year rule, Catholics were entitled to four of 30 canon positions.

From 1690 to 1693 he studied at the Pontificium Collegium Germanicum et Hungaricum de Urbe in Rome . After completing his studies, he received further prebends in the cathedral chapters of Hildesheim (1795) and Paderborn (1700). In Paderborn he became a scholastic student in 1716 , in Hildesheim he was senior of the collegiate chapter.

In the Lübeck bishopric election after the death of Prince-Bishop August Friedrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf in 1705, which was accompanied by a military conflict and at Christmas 1705 by the siege and occupation of Eutin Castle by the Danes, von der Lippe belonged to the ultimately defeated party in the chapter, who supported the Danish coadjutor , Prince Carl of Denmark (born October 26, 1680 - August 8, 1729), a younger brother of the Danish King Frederick IV . However, through diplomatic intervention by Queen Anne of England and the States General and after the assurance of a pension, the latter was forced to give up his claim, so that Christian August von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf , the candidate of the Gothenburg party, which was allied with Sweden , could succeed. The dispute was finally settled only after the conclusion of the Altranstädter Convention , when Christian August was enfeoffed with the Lübeck Monastery by the Emperor in 1709 .

In the Paderborn bishopric election in 1719, Emperor Karl VI tried . and Elector Maximilian II. Emanuel von Bayern successfully won his vote for Clemens August von Bayern , who later appointed him to the electoral Cologne Privy Council.

In 1720 he was able to build Vinsebeck Castle with his brothers Drosten Johann Friedrich Ignaz and Ferdinand Ernst Adam and Mauritz Lothar, both also canons of Paderborn.

In 1732 he resigned in favor of his nephew Viktor Adolf Theodor Hilmar Adam Joseph von der Lippe to his Paderborn prebende. He renounced his Lübeck prebend in 1746. This went to Hermann Werner Freiherr von Brabeck .
