Chamberlain of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse

As a young man, Bastian von Weitershausen was a chamberlain (noble servant) of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse when he was arrested by Emperor Karl V in Halle in June 1547 after the defeat of the Schmalkaldic League . His father Ulrich von Weitershausen took part in the Schmalkaldic War on the Protestant side .

The Landgrave was held from December 1547 to February 1548 in Nördlingen in the Gasthof Zur Sonne on the market. Philipp I, who was forbidden from any written or oral contact with the outside world, ordered Lienhard Widmarckter to come to Nördlingen. He had him or his wife Christine von Sachsen (1505–1549) informed by the Junker Bastian von Weitershausen that he was not expecting his imminent release from captivity because of the imminent transfer to the Netherlands. In March 1548 Philip I was brought to Heilbronn, where he fell ill with "Tertian fever" ( malaria ) and Bastian von Weitershausen helped him with his care.

Since September 1548 Bastian von Weitershausen was in the entourage of the captured landgrave in Oudenaarde in the Spanish Netherlands . However, he had to leave the city with other members of the court on the orders of the Spanish captain (captain) Don Juan de Guevara, who was guarding Philip I, and asked the Hessian councils in Kassel to provide maintenance until the landgrave returned.

In 1550 Bastian von Weitershausen was back with Landgrave Philip I, who had meanwhile been brought to Mechelen . Before Philip's attempt to flee from there failed, Kraft von Boyneburg , the chamberlain Johann von Merlau, the doctor Johannes Meckbach (1495–1555), Bastian von Weitershausen and others were sent to Kassel ahead at the end of December 1550 . Kraft von Boineburg, Bastian von Weitershausen, kitchen clerk Hieronymus Jünge and Paul Kellner issued a reference in favor of Kurt (Konrad) Breidenstein called Biedenkapper. Breidenstein, together with kit master Hans Rommel and the 18-year-old personal page Anton von Wersebe called Bremer, organized the liberation of Landgrave Philip, which only failed because another page was talkative. In 1551 Bastian returned to Mechelen from Weitershausen. According to the Passau Treaty , Philip's captivity ended in September 1552.

Chamberlain and diplomat of the landgraves in Kassel

In July 1553, Bastian von Weitershausen was present at the bloody battle near Sievershausen and reported to Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hessen-Kassel about its course. Even before 1556 he was married to Marie Ursula von Talheim († 1587), widow of Hans von Helmstatt. She was a daughter of Gerhard von Talheim († before 1525 or 1531) and Agnes von Sperberseck († after 1544). In 1559 Hans von Stein von Reichenstein signed the Bönnigheim contract with Sebastian von Weitershausen and Rochus Leiher (von Lyher) as representatives of their wives Maria Ursula and Brigitta von Talheim over the inheritance of their sister-in-law Agnes von Talheim, his deceased wife. 1 ⁄ 6 von Talheim , the tithe at Höpfigheim and half of a castle came to his brother-in-law Rochus von Lyher through the division of the estate from Bastian von Weitershausen. After the death of their father in 1560 Sebastian and his brother Eberhard von Weitershausen called Reichwein (* around 1540, † 1609) were enfeoffed with Bromberg by Duke Christoph von Württemberg . In 1561, Sebastian von Weitershausen, as one of the two guardians of Barbara von Stammheim (1543-1606), agreed to her marriage to Christoph von Degenfeld zu Hoheneybach , Obervogt zu Göppingen.

In Kassel, Bastian von Weitershausen performed various diplomatic missions for the Landgraviate of Hesse.

Because Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hessen-Kassel could not personally take part in the baptism of daughter Maria Elisabeth (1561–1629) of his sister Anna of Hesse and Duke Wolfgang of Pfalz-Zweibrücken , Johann von Ratzenberg († 1580), bailiff increased Sontra, and Sebastian von Weitershausen on his behalf to sponsor him. The baptism by Johann Sebastian Pfauser took place on November 14, 1561 in the presence of Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria in Neuburg an der Donau .

In the spring of 1562 Wilhelm I of Orange had Landgrave Wilhelm IV convey his wish for better relations through the chamberlain Bastian von Weitershausen, who had visited him as the Hessian envoy. On April 6, 1562, Bastian von Weitershausen was one of the will witnesses of Landgrave Philip I of Hesse. At the end of 1562, Landgrave Wilhelm IV sent his chamberlain, Bastian von Weitershausen, to Breda to inquire in confidence about the faring of his niece Anna of Saxony, who was married to Wilhelm I of Orange .

Sebastian von Witterhausen (sic!) Called Richwein received from 1563 to 1572 an additional stables from Württemberg as a “servant by default ”.

In 1564 the Electoral Palatinate , Jülich and Hesse discussed measures against Duke Johann Friedrich II. The Middle of Saxony (1529–1595) in Friedberg in order to persuade him to extradite the outlawed Wilhelm von Grumbach . Landgrave Wilhelm IV. Sent Bastian von Weitershausen unsuccessfully as ambassador to Gotha in July 1564, without orders, but with the approval of Landgrave Philip I, who viewed such efforts with skepticism . An original promise to the Jew Joseph Goldschmidt († 1572) to the golden swan in Frankfurt am Main , to let his chamberlain Bastian von Weittershausen ( sic! ) Ride with him to Cologne to pay the Archbishop Friedrich IV von Wied for his on election day Due to this new development, Landgrave Wilhelm IV withdrew to move the debt entered into in Frankfurt in 1562.

In 1564/65 Wilhelm IV accepted a pension from the French King Henry II behind the back of his father in the amount of 4000 kroner as arbitrary or grace money . Bastian von Weitershausen negotiated the conditions on his behalf with the French Colonel Friedrich von Reiffenberg (1515–1595).

In the late summer of 1565 the councilors Burkhard VI. von Cramm († 1559), governor of Upper Hesse in Marburg, Heinrich Lersner , the former chancellor, and Sebastian von Weitershausen sent to the Duchy of Württemberg; there they successfully negotiated a marriage between Landgrave Wilhelm IV and Duchess Sabine von Württemberg . Duke Christoph von Württemberg, the bride's father, discussed details of the Marburg wedding celebrations with Sebastian von Weitershausen in Friedberg at the beginning of 1566. In May 1566, treasurer Bastian von Weitershausen requested the promised dowry from Duke Christoph and the Württemberg countryside.

Elector Friedrich III. von der Pfalz negotiated through his advice Dr. Christoph Ehe (1528–1592) in the autumn of 1565 with Duke Christoph von Württemberg in order to reach an agreement of the Protestant estates at the Reichstag in Augsburg in 1566 . Duke Christoph commissioned Sebastian von Weitershausen to report to Landgrave Philip I.

Court Marshal of Landgrave Wilhelm IV.

From May 1, 1567 - one month after the death of Philip I - Bastian von Weitershausen was court marshal of Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse-Kassel. Count Philip III. von Nassau-Saarbrücken sold Bastian von Weitershausen, who is still referred to in the document as the "Hessian Chamberlain", in September 1567 for 3000 guilders a pension of 150 guilders on the gradient of the office of Bingenheim and the area of Reichelsheim in the Wetterau . In 1568, the Hessian court marshal Bastian von Weitershausen acknowledged over 150 guilders in interest that was paid to him from the Gleiberg winery in Nassau .

In October 1568 Bastian von Wittershausen was sent as envoy of Wilhelm IV of Hesse to Duke Christoph von Württemberg in Stuttgart , because the Landgrave with him, Margrave Karl II of Baden-Durlach and Margrave Georg Friedrich I of Brandenburg-Ansbach-Kulmbach the Wanted to establish a Protestant league.

In 1569, the Hessian Marshal Sebastian von Weitershausen filed a lawsuit against his brother-in-law Rochus Lyher for insulting his brother-in-law Rochus Lyher before the Imperial Court of Justice in Kassel because of “challenging out of the house” (to a duel), in which he, his wife and sister-in-law Barbara von Talheim were threatened in Talheim; Lyher and his wife, who had married in 1550, had been reconciled once again in 1556 after a temporary separation. On October 28, 1569, on a trip by Landgrave Wilhelm IV to Stuttgart between Gießen and Butzbach , the court marshal suffered a “serious” refusal of obedience ( Felonie ). Bastian von Weitershausen therefore resigned from the Hessian service in 1570. However, the former court marshal Bastian von Weitershausen was accepted again in 1583 in a changed political situation as a Hessian “councilor and servant from home” (see below).

Marshal of the high and German champions in Heilbronn

Bastian von Weitershausen called Riegwein was a member of a delegation of the Teutonic Order in August 1570 , which Archduchess Anna of Austria brought to the port of Antwerp for her wedding to King Philip II of Spain from Nijmegen on behalf of her parents Emperor Maximilian II and Maria of Spain . The wedding took place on September 12, 1570 in Segovia .

In 1571 Sebastian and his sister Maria Elisabetha von Weitershausen (* around 1530; † 1582) took part in a convent that Abbess Afra Reuss von Reußenstein († 1579) had convened. A new order was adopted for the Oberstenfeld women's monastery , which, despite its evangelical orientation, was provisionally approved by the responsible Speyer Bishop Marquard von Hattstein in 1579 . Sebastian von Weitershausen was in possession of a valid letter from 1517 over 400 guilders in debts of the monastery, in 1579 his sister Maria Elisabetha was elected abbess. Sebastian's younger sister Paula von Weitershausen (* 1539; † 1609) was the last abbess of the free aristocratic women's monastery in Frauenalb from 1574 to 1598 .

In 1572 Bastian von Weitershausen litigated Michael Geibel for interest-bearing goods in Heuchelheim . The brothers Sebastian and Eberhard von Weitershausen bought the "Schuppenmühle" ( Schippach mill) in Spielberg near Bromberg in 1573 from the previous miller Bernhard Kleinbub and took it as a fiefdom from Duke Ludwig von Württemberg . Sebastian von Weitershausen argued with the local aristocrats of Altburg and Weltenschwann over the exercise of the "small foraging". In 1574 Hans Hofmann (Hobman) von Alten-Buseck complained to the Marburg councilors and the Giessen captain Caspar Schutzbar called Milchling , because Bastian von Weitershausen wanted to prohibit him from building a property on an interest property. Landgrave Georg I of Hessen-Darmstadt confirmed in 1575 the sale of goods and rights in Michelfeld and Eichtersheim by Bastian von Weitershausen to Eberhard von Venningen († 1574) and the von Gemmingen brothers.

Sebastian von Wittershausen lived in Heilbronn in 1575. He also owned a castle, the Neuenhaus , and some estates, but no government rights in Talheim; In 1577 most of his possessions and rights were still in Hesse. In a village book or description of the spots, courts, villages and aristocrats belonging to the Upper Principality of Hesse , for example, it was noted in 1577: "Nieder-Hofen, belongs to the German lords , serve our gracious princes and lords with the von Weitterßhausen".

Between 1577 and 1582 Sebastian von Weitershausen is documented as marshal of the high and German master Heinrich von Bobenhausen , who resided in the Teutonic Order Castle in Kirchhausen and in the Heilbronn Deutschhaus . At the request of his wife Marie Ursula von Talheim, Bastian von Weitershausen granted Anabaptists protection on the family's property. His brother Eberhard von Weitershausen, who resided at Bromberg Castle, was probably a Schwenckfeldian .

Based on a poem by Nicodemus Frischlin , Bastian von Wittershausen, "a sincere nobleman", attended the wedding of Duke Ludwig von Württemberg and Margravine Dorothea Ursula von Baden-Durlach (1559–1583) in Stuttgart in 1575 . In 1578, Teutonic Order Marshal Sebastian von Weitershausen and his wife Maria Ursula von Talheim joined as guardians of the children of Rochius Leyher and Brigitte von Talheim - Christoph Rochus († after 1600), Hans Ludwig († after 1625) and Sebastian Lyher († before 1584 ) - a contract with Hans Ulrich von und zu Talheim († 1605) and his mother Margarete von Absberg about access to the Schneck Castle and the fountain of the Upper Talheim Castle .

Sebastian and his brother Eberhard von Weitershausen sold their Hessian goods to Caspar Schutzbar called Milchling in 1581 and gave up the old church patronage ( ius praesentandi ) of the family in Elnhausen near Marburg, Weitershausen and Buchenau . Marshal Sebastian von Weiterßhausen was a co- sealer in Friedelsheim in 1581 of a settlement between the Teutonic Order and Count Palatine Johann Kasimir about the corporal obligations of the order subjects at Oppau . In 1582 Alexander von und zu Riedern († 1588) vouched for a debt of 1000 guilders from Hans Philipp Hund von Wenkheim († 1619) to Sebastian von Weitershausen, marshal of the German master.

Balleien of the Teutonic Order

The renewed appointment or ancillary appointment of Bastian von Weitershausen as Hessian "councilor and servant from home" in 1583 is likely to coincide with the negotiations between the Teutonic Order and Landgraves Wilhelm IV of Hesse-Kassel, Ludwig IV of Hesse-Kassel, Marburg , Philip II of Hesse-Rheinfels and Georg I of Hesse-Darmstadt are related: Disputes about the Deutschordensballei Hesse were settled in 1583/84 with the Carlstadt Treaty , which was signed by the Landgraves with the "Administrator of the German Mastery in Prussia" Heinrich von Bobenhausen and the imperial commissioners, the Würzburg bishop Julius Echter von Mespelbrunn and Count Heinrich IV. zu Castell .

In 1583, Sebastian and Eberhard von Weitershausen sold the monastery house of their sister, the late abbess Maria Elisabetha von Weitershausen, in the Oberstenfeld monastery for 600 guilders to the choir maid Helena (Helma) Senft von Sulburg.

In 1585, "the old" Sebastian von Weitershausen in Heilbronn got involved in a heavy trade of honor with Hans Ludwig Lyher zu Talheim, his former ward, who had to swear a primal feud and as a punishment had to do military service in Hungary for three years against the Turks. In the same year, the married couple Sebastian von Weitershausen and Maria Ursula von Dalheim applied to the Imperial Court of Justice for confirmation of their will.

Sebastian von Weitershausen zu Talheim also sealed the sale of a quarter in Flecken Freudental in 1587 by Eberhard von Weitershausen auf Bromberg to Philipp Moßbach zu Heidelberg for 7550 guilders. 1587 sold Sebastian von Wittershausen zum Bromberg various tithes, Gülten and interest to Höpfigheim for 250 guilders to the Secret Council Melchior Jäger von Gärtringen (1544-1611).

Sebastian von Weitershausen died in 1587. Maria Ursula von Talheim outlived her husband by a few months and bequeathed the house and property in Talheim to her nephew Christoph Rochus Lyher, while Hans Ludwig Lyher received nothing from the inheritance. In 1593 a Hessian feudal letter was issued for a Bastian von Weitershausen, which is likely to have been a more distant relative of the "old" Bastian von Weitershausen.
