Anton Heinrich (Schwarzburg-Sondershausen)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Anton Heinrich von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen (born October 7, 1571 in Sondershausen ; † August 10, 1638 there ) ruled between 1594 and 1638 as Count von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen .

Life

Count Anton Heinrich was the son of Count Johann Günther I von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen (1532–1586), and his wife Countess Anna (1539–1579), daughter of Count Anton I von Oldenburg-Delmenhorst .

At the death of his father, he and his brothers were still under the age of majority and so they were under the tutelage of their unions , Count Johann VII (1540–1603) and Anton II (1550–1619) of Oldenburg , and later they ruled together. But he took on the government work most, especially in the Honstein inheritance dispute.

In the Thirty Years' War the county, especially Arnstadt and the surrounding area, suffered terribly from billeting and other war burdens. The brothers tried their best to alleviate the horror afterwards.

Count Anton Heinrich died unmarried in 1638. From a illegitimate relationship he had descendants, including Hans Heinrich Oberhaupt von Schwarzenfels (* 1604) Schwarzburg stable master in Sondershausen, ennobled in 1641 and a member of the fruitful society as "the attempted"; he married Anna Margarete von Teutleben in 1638.

A great-grandson of the count was Anton Ludwig von Schwartzenfels (1678-1725).
