Adolph Franz von Dalberg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Adolph Franz Wolfgang corner Bert (* 14. November 1730 in Hammelburg , † 28. August 1794 in Bamberg ) was a member of the rich knightly family Dalberg and stood at the end of his life because of incitement to murder in the Carmelite Monastery Bamberg under house arrest .

origin

Adolph Franz was the eldest son of Hugo Philipp Eckenbert von Dalberg-Wallhausen (born March 31, 1702; † February 29, 1754). Hugo Philipp Eckenbert was a secret councilor from Würzburg and Fulda and chief magistrate of Hammelburg and Saaleck . On October 4, 1729, he had married Maria Anna Josepha Sophia Zobel von Giebelstadt (* August 20, 1713 - June 8, 1774), the mother of Adolph Franz. After the death of Hugo Philipp Eckenbert, she married Franz von Münster for the second time .

Life

Adolph Franz received canon positions as a youth , in Bamberg in 1744 and in Minden in 1751 . Next he was Kurtrier and bishöflich Augsburger Council and Episcopal Bamberger privy . Adolph Franz was 24 years old when his father died and thus - according to the legal situation at the time - just of legal age . He exercised the guardianship of his underage siblings with great self-interest, which led to conflicts with the siblings and relatives. In addition, he behaved very inappropriately, the files note "bad conduite". Although he would have been granted the family senior council in 1781 according to the family contract of the Dalbergs of 1723, the relatives refused to do so.

In 1782 he is said to have instigated a servant to shoot a third person in the street. During his interrogation, he testified that it was his habit to say "shoot him dead" and that he never expected his servants to take it literally and act on it. He was then placed under house arrest in his own canon court and - after he had been deprived of his canon mortgage - imprisoned in the Carmelite monastery in Bamberg, where he died twelve years after the incident.
