Boniface von Buseck

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Burkhard von Buseck (born March 20, 1628 in Rödgen , Gießen district ; † March 21, 1707 in Fulda ), worked under the religious name Bonifatius von Buseck as provost in Michaelsberg, Johannesberg and Neuenberg.

family

He was the son of the Oberschultheissen in Fulda, Johann Ottmar von Buseck († 1637) and his first wife Maria Magdalena, born von Rodenhausen († 1635). His brother Conrad Philipp von Buseck founded the so-called Eppelborn branch of the von Buseck family . Conrad Philipps' grandson was Amand von Buseck , the first prince-bishop of Fulda.

The father died early and left behind several underage children. The guardians referred to a promise made to the father by the Fulda abbot to train one of the sons and sent him the eldest son, Johann Burkhard.

Act

Boniface had the church at Johannesberg redesigned according to contemporary taste and equipped it with three early baroque altars and a pulpit. A former inscription from him with his coat of arms on the triumphal arch of the church is no longer preserved. She reported on the renovation in the years 1688–1691 and praised Boniface as the builder. Before that he had erected the buildings of the property belonging to the provost in Nonnenrod, on which his coat of arms is emblazoned with the year 1683. In addition, he had the cathedral mechanic built in the years 1702–1702 , which occupies a special position among the secular buildings of the monastery because of its artistic quality. Its architect was the Franciscan brother Antonius Peyer. A meanwhile destroyed organ of the chapel of the dead at the foot of the Frauenberg in Fulda bore his coat of arms as a donor. Bonifatius had lively relations with Bamberg. Helmer suspects in his article that Bonifatius drew the attention of the prince abbot of Fulda Adalbert von Schleifras to the Bamberg architect Johann Dientzenhofer and induced him to go to Fulda.

In 1695 Boniface took care of his great-nephew. This was trained in Fulda and rose to high dignity. It was Amand von Buseck , who later became the prince-bishop in Fulda .
