Life

Berlepsch came from the noble family of those von Berlepsch ; he was the son of the court judge in Marburg Eitel von Berlepsch and his second wife Barbara Schenck zu Schweinsberg. After being educated by various private tutors, Berlepsch began to study law in Marburg in 1634 . Two years later he switched to the same subject at the University of Kassel . He then served Landgrave Johann von Hessen-Braubach in various offices.

In 1639 Berlepsch was accepted into the Fruit-Bringing Society by Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen . Along with Berlepsch, his employer, Ludwig Geyso , Hans Jakob Geringer and Johann Gottfried von Linsingen were also accepted as new members. For Burkhardt von Berlepsch, Prince Ludwig I determined the Kurzweilige company name and the motto open . As an emblem he was given the white snake <Cicer arietinum L.>. Berlepsch's entry can be found in the Koethener society book under the number 337. There you can also find the rhyme law, which he wrote on the occasion of his admission:

Wan white giggles are open loudly they pop
My guess was that Kurtzweilig fell
The rabbits atone for their lust inside when they are green
Then they say they are bold beyond measure
And run hard To: Kurtzweile one drifts
Can vntern well, you have to stay doc at all times
In this, the public has set a limit to the availability
That time is not used usefully.

Burkhardt von Berlepsch died on September 6, 1691 at the age of 72.
