Life

Balthasar Freiherr von Marschalck came from the Marschalck von Bachtenbrock family from the ancient aristocracy of Bremen . He was born as the eldest son of the Verden canon and district administrator of the Archbishopric of Bremen , Franz von Marschalck (1589–1646) on Wischhof ( Hechthausen parish ) and Jutta Anna von Marschalck from the Ovelgönner line of the family.

In 1641, at the request of his father, he received a canonical in the Bremen cathedral chapter . In accordance with the statutes of this body , three years after his entry into the cathedral chapter in 1644, as Canonicus emancipatus, he was granted full rights as a canon. After the secularization of the Archbishopric of Bremen and the associated abolition of the cathedral chapter, Balthasar placed himself in the service of the new, now Swedish rulership.

In 1660 he married Elisabet Gyllenhielm (1622–1682), a niece of King Gustav Adolf of Sweden, who had already died at the Drottningholm Palace . His younger brother, her father Prince Carl Filip Wasa (1601–1622), had secretly married Elisabeth's mother, a noble maid of the queen widow Christine , in 1620 . Their daughter Elisabet was born shortly after the early death of Prince Karl Filip.

After marriage, Balthasar moved from Marschalck with his wife that in central Sweden , about 60 km west of Stockholm located Tynnelsö Castle , the Elisabet by the then Queen Christine had received, her cousin as a gift.

As chamberlain to King Charles X Gustav and royal Swedish court marshal, Balthasar von Marschalck was raised to the status of Swedish baron on July 19, 1675 and in 1678 was introduced to the baron class of Swedish knighthood.

After his death in 1685, Balthasar Freiherr von Marschalck was buried next to his wife, who had already died in 1682, in Strängnäs Cathedral.
