Andreas Pauli von Liliencron (1630–1700)

Andreas Paul (i) von Liliencron (born February 4, 1630 in Bredstedt , † August 22, 1700 in Hamburg ) was a German-Danish privy councilor , holder of the Dannebrog Order and Landdrost ( district administrator ) of the Pinneberg rule . He is the progenitor of the noble family "von Liliencron".

Life

His parents were the wealthy businessman Paul Martens and his wife Margarete geb. Breckling, daughter of Pastor Andreas Breckling on Treija. He was first taught by a private tutor and attended a school in Flensburg , which he later considered in his will. He then attended the city school in Hamburg and was admitted to grammar school in 1646. Because of his inclination for mathematics and political science at high school, he caused a special stir, as well as with his extraordinary Latin lectures. After attending grammar school for three years, he went to Rostock University in 1649 . The subject of his studies there was law and history. After completing the academic triennium , he attended the University of Leiden . Here he appeared publicly as a speaker and as the author of various papers in the field of political science and law and passed several disputations with recognized intellectual superiority. In the autumn of 1652 he left the University of Leiden, embarked on a trip abroad that took him to France, Spain, Switzerland and Italy, and returned two years later.

On May 2, 1654 he was by Emperor Ferdinand III. raised to the "noble knighthood of the Holy Roman Empire" and given him the name "von Lilien-Crone". The now noble imperial knight then gave up his family name Martens and only spelled himself Andreas Pauli von Liliencron.

Later von Liliencron went to Copenhagen and initially worked in the office of King Frederick III. and was responsible for foreign affairs, where he rose quickly. As early as 1657 he was appointed general auditor for Funen. After the Peace of Roskilde in 1658 he asked for his dismissal from the Danish civil service in order to enter the Swedish service in the same capacity as general auditor.

After a while, von Liliencron saw no more reason to serve the Swedes. In 1662 he rejoined the Danish civil service as general auditor, presumably at the instigation of King Frederick III. The first major task that fell to von Liliencron, who had been won back for Denmark, was the delegation of homage to Vienna. The king sent him as his authorized resident to the Vienna Hofburg , in order to seek the enfeoffment for his Holstein fiefdoms and to represent him at the Reichstag of Regensburg and then at the imperial court in Vienna. He did this job to the fullest satisfaction, so that he was raised to the Danish nobility on December 4, 1665 while retaining his name and his descendants. Since then, von Liliencron has belonged to the king's immediate circle and was his advisor, who as a statesman carried out important business of his royal master.

On February 19, 1670 his patron Friedrich III died suddenly. and for the first time the throne was occupied not by election but by the power of inheritance under the royal law, and King Christian V ascended the throne of his fathers.

In the spring of 1672 he returned to Vienna on behalf of Christian V in order to perceive his king's interest in the imperial court. He did this job again to the fullest satisfaction and so on June 5, 1673 he was raised "to the imperial baron status". In 1674 King Christian V appointed him Landdrosten der Pinneberg and the oldest counselor in the German chancellery in Copenhagen. In 1679 he was appointed chancellor in the duchies and in 1680 as district administrator.

On July 24, 1680 he married Elisabeth van de Wiele (1658–1728), the only daughter of the Danish resident in Hamburg , François Louis van de Wiele , Lord of Marvager. His wife brought the Marvager Kloster estate into the marriage as her father's only heir. He himself acquired the stoss hammer, huts , Gut Wulfshagen , and flower village . The family now belonged to the Schleswig-Holstein real estate nobility. From this marriage the four children, Marie Antoinette (1687–1731), Paul Albert Balhasar (1692–1765), Carl Constantin (1697–1728) and Christian Frederik († 1731) emerged.

In 1683 von Liliencron was appointed privy councilor and gave up the post of Landdrost of the Pinneberg lordship. For this he was appointed bailiff of the Segeberg office in 1684 and on May 5 of the same year as the white knight of Dannebrog . In Glückstadt in 1699, he became a real secret council and member of the Konseil, the highest dignity in Denmark at the time.

On July 31, 1700 he fell ill with typhus, from which he died on August 22 of the same year. His remains were buried on November 16, 1700 in the hereditary burial he had erected in the Hamburg Cathedral. His wife survived him for another 28 years and was then buried at his side in Hamburg Cathedral.
