Imperial Count Johann Kaspar Aloys Basselet von La Rosée (born May 5, 1747 in Munich ; † December 5, 1826 ) was a Bavarian civil servant and judge as well as a Freemason and a member of the Order of the Illuminati . He came from the Basselet von La Rosée family, who originally lived in Spain and later in the Spanish Netherlands .

Life

Johann Kaspar Aloys Reichsgraf Basselet von La Rosée was the first-born son of the Bavarian Chamberlain, General and Court War Council Director Johann Kaspar Basselet Reichsgraf von La Rosée , as well as his wife Maria Elisabetha von Ruffini, the daughter of the Munich merchant Johann Baptista von Ruffini . His great uncle was the Bavarian State Chancellor Franz Xaver Josef von Unertl .

As a boy, La Rosée in Straubing was given to Ernesty's dean for upbringing and training. He completed his high school in 1763 at the Jesuit high school in Munich (today Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ). He then studied camera science at the universities of Würzburg and Ingolstadt in preparation for the civil service . This was followed by an educational trip to the Netherlands and France. Returned to Munich in 1767, he was appointed to the electoral Bavarian chamberlain and councilor . In 1782 La Rosée became president of the Court of Appeal and Appeal in Munich; at the appellate court he became director in 1790. On May 19, 1808 he received the Grand Cross of the Order of Civil Merit of the Bavarian Crown . He was one of the first members of the order and received the high distinction on Foundation Day, in 1817 he advanced to the Real Council of State.

After his father's death, La Rosée inherited a considerable fortune, which he carefully managed. Splendor was avoided, for this purpose a daily alms sum was available. La Rosée owned extensive areas on Lake Starnberg such as Garatshausen , Feldafing including the Roseninsel and Pöcking . Also Possenhofen Castle , where the future Empress Elizabeth of Austria (Sissi) was growing up, was one of his possession.

In 1772 he became an honorary member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences , then director of the fiction class.

Basselet de La Rosée was a member and several times master of the chair of the Munich Lodge Zur Bewutsamkeit , under the name of a Laurea in the Strikten Observanz , as well as Procurator and Scottish Head (Comendator equitum) for Munich. In the Illuminati order he had the name Socrates . After the order of the Illuminati and the Masonic lodges in Bavaria were banned in 1785, the count seems to have turned away from this line of thought. His obituary in the "New Nekrolog der Deutschen" (Ilmenau, 1828, 2nd part, page 1056) states that at the end of his life he accepted the Catholic sacraments , which would otherwise not have been possible.
