Life

Origin and family

Bernhard Korff called Schmising came from the Westphalian aristocratic family Korff , whose branches belong to the oldest rural aristocratic families in the Münsterland . Numerous well-known personalities have emerged from it. He was the son of Caspar (Jaspar) Korff called Schmising zu Harkotten and his wife Anna von Merveldt . His brother Hermann was canon in Münster from 1510 to 1514. Wilbrand , his other brother, was canon of Münster from 1548 to 1557. His uncle Otto held the office of cathedral dean in Münster from 1484 to 1494 .

Act

On October 26, 1552, Bernhard was presented as the canon of Münster by the canon Friedrich von Keppel . The emancipation followed in 1555. From August 15, 1562 he held the office of cathedral bursar. In this function he was responsible for managing the business operations in the cathedral chapter. On October 16, 1564, after the resignation of Canon Justinus von Raesfeld, he received the Officium mixtum . Two years later, after the death of Joachim von Bodelschwingh, he became archdeacon of Winterswijk. These and other offices and possessions could be traced back to the nephews of Bishop Bernhard von Raesfeld . Bernhard and Bernhard von Westerholt were among the founders of the junior party in the cathedral chapter. Its members were close to the evangelical faith . This was not unusual at the time. At the Chapter Day on November 12, 1575, 10 out of 26 cathedral capitulars were Protestant. In September 1582, Hermann was named as cathedral bursar and provost of St. Martini in Münster . He was also archdeacon of Wadersloh. According to his wishes, Hermann was buried at the altar of St. Peter in the cathedral in Münster .
