Life

Bertram Sturm came from an old council family of the city of Münstereifel ( Duchy of Jülich ), which was first mentioned in a document in 1436. On September 12, 1632, he was officially elevated to the imperial nobility in Vienna , confirming his nobility by Emperor Ferdinand II, adding the name “von und zu Vehlingen”. On September 23, 1633 he was awarded the title “von Vehlingen” by the emperor in Ebersdorf . His descendants carry the name "von Sturm zu Vehlingen" without objection.

In November 1635, Sturm declared his county forfeit to Count Wilhelm Ludwig von Nassau-Saarbrücken . Sturm played a very important role in the region as the emperor's deputy during the Thirty Years War . He administered in the emperor's name a. a. also estates of renegade and fled sovereign rulers , whereby he may also have partially enriched himself. Sturm is portrayed as greedy. From 1650 his family owned Odendorf Castle in the Swist Valley .

At the baptism of his son Ferdinand Philipp Casimir on April 14, 1637, both the Emperor and King Philip III were. of Spain the honorary sponsors .

Bertram von Sturm zu Vehlingen died on January 20, 1637 in Frankfurt am Main and was buried in the Dominican monastery there. The no longer existing epitaph in the monastery church bore this date of death. In the Frankfurt Book of the Dead, the date of death is given as January 9th. This date difference results from the calendar reform , which was not introduced in Protestant Frankfurt until 1700.
