Bernhard Pflug , contemporary mostly Pflugk (born August 21, 1637 at Posterstein Castle ; † March 28, 1716 in Heuckewalde ) was Privy Councilor and court marshal of Duke Moritz Wilhelm of Saxony , chief stable master, captain of the Neustadt district and manor owner .
Life
Bernhard Pflug came from the long-established Bohemian-Saxon noble family Pflug and was the son of Alexander Pflug (1609–1656) and his wife Katharina nee. Metsch . Georg Dietrich Pflug on Posterstein was his brother.
More detailed information about Bernhard Pflug's school and study time has not yet been researched. After previous negotiations, he bought on December 23, 1685/11. January 1686 by Hans Joachim and Moritz Anckelmann , the heirs of the Zeitz cathedral dean Wolf Albrecht Anckelmann , who died in 1684, and his Heuckewalde castle . In 1686, Duke Moritz Wilhelm enfeoffed him with this lock and accessories.
Bernhard Pflug was in ducal service at the time. He was his private councilor and court marshal and also worked for him as captain of the Neustadt district. Later he also became head stable master. Unfortunately, the manor in Heuckewalde did not produce the expected income, so Bernhard Pflug asked his employer to approve an additional source of income. He found this in the construction of a street inn on the Heerstraße leading from Langenberg near Gera to Langendorf near Zeitz, on which the Gera Post Office ran regularly. Bernhard Pflug bought a desolate plot of land on this street in the immediate vicinity of the small Giebelroth settlement . There, Duke Moritz Wilhelm von Sachsen-Zeitz, through an announcement made on February 24, 1691, allowed him to build a new inn to improve the Heuckewalde manor. The Duke privileged Bernhard Pflug with the fact that local and foreign travelers on horseback and on foot, with wagons, dishes, carriages or carts can be accommodated, accommodated and fed day and night in such taverns and inns for appropriate payment. However, the Duke forbade from the start that suspicious persons could be admitted or tolerated in this inn, and at the same time demanded the payment of the usual drink tax .
Documents from the written estate of Bernhard Pflug are now in the Heuckewalde estate archive in the Saxony-Anhalt state archive in Wernigerode .
