Heinrich Ehrenfried von Biesenroth († September 20, 1714 in Zwickau ) was a royal Polish and electoral Saxon court official. He was district councilor and governor of Schwarzenberg and Crottendorf as well as the owner of a manor .

Life

He came from the Saxon noble family Biesenroth . Hans Ramanus von Kirchbach was his brother-in-law.

Heinrich Ehrenfried von Biesenroth started an administrative career in the service of the Saxon electors and in 1702 succeeded Andreas Adrian Borck as governor of the Schwarzenberg district office and the Grünhain office in the Saxon Ore Mountains . His official seat was Schwarzenberg Castle. In a handbook with rules for etiquette from 1710 he was to be written as follows: To the well-born Mr. / Mr. Heinrich Ehrenfried von Biesenroth etc. Sr. Königl. Maj. And Churfürstl. Land-Cammer-Rath / also Ambts-Hauptmann of the offices of Schwartzenberg and Crotendorff. Mine etc.

In 1708, as a middleman, he bought the Merzdorf manor from his brother-in-law Hans Ramanus von Kirchbach in the Hayn office , which he sold to Philipp Heinrich von Witzleben for a profit that same year.

In 1712 he headed the investigative commission for the Naumann mill in Sehma.

Under his leadership, assessed as meritorious ("tirelessly active man"), peat cutting experiments in raised bogs and for drying and processing the peat took place in the upper Ore Mountains.

When he was dying at Osterstein Castle in Zwickau, he asked for songs of penance and death. Thereupon his confessor, who visited him several times during his sick camp, brought pupils from Zwickau schools several times, who sang sacred songs for Heinrich Ehrenfried von Biesenroth.

After his death at Osterstein Castle in 1714, the office of governor in the Schwarzenberg district office remained vacant for three decades until 1745.
