Anna Barbara Colonna von Fels

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anna Barbara Colonna Freiin von Fels zu Schenkenberg and Engelsburg, mistress of Neudek and Gabhorn, born von Schönburg (born May 13, 1583 in Penig ; † May 13, 1625 in Wechselburg ) was a Bohemian noblewoman of German descent.

Life

She was the daughter of Wolf III. von Schönburg-Glauchau and Waldenburg (1556–1612) from the house of Schönburg and the Elisabeth Freiin von Tschernembl (1563–1601). On November 23, 1600 she was married to Friedrich Kaspar Colonna Freiherr von Fels (around 1575-1614). On February 22nd, 1602, he bought the Neudek estate from his cousin Count Stephan Schlick and since then has largely resided at Neudek Castle. His brother was the military leader Leonhard Colonna von Fels . The marriage had ten children, seven of them boys.

After her husband's death, she ruled Neudek, Gabhorn and other estates for her underage son Wolf Caspar. After the battle of the White Mountain , the Protestant submitted to the emperor by obediently praising the commissioner, Prince Karl von Liechtenstein , and thus initially retained her property. In 1623 her eldest son and heir Wolf Kaspar died in Karlsbad .

Mansfeld troops repeatedly invaded their territory under their rule. As of 1624, all Protestant clergymen had to leave the country on imperial orders. Since there was no longer a pastor on the job, she had the schoolmaster of Neudek do the baptisms after a consultation from 1625. Around May 5, 1625, she set off from her residence, Schloss Neudek, on the journey to Leipzig to coordinate the transfer of her sons to France, but fell ill with a fever during her stay. At her own request, she was carried to Wechselburg and died there in the presence of her daughter on May 13, 1625 at the age of forty-two. Her body was transferred to Penig and buried in the town church. The funeral sermon was given for printing in Altenburg in 1626.

After her death, the rule went to her sons Johann Georg, Wilhelm and Wolf Leonhard Colonna von Fels. They decided to sell the goods on January 4, 1629 to their brother-in-law, Count Johann Philipp von Scharfenstein, for 130,000 florins, who, however, could not raise the purchase schilling. The brothers were charged with participating in another rebellion against the emperor by the Friedland Commission and Neudek and Gabhorn were drafted. In 1633, Count Hermann Czernin von Chudenitz received the confiscated Neudek estate for 73,000 shock Meissner groschen.
