Carl Anton von Barth
Baron Carl Anton Balthasar von Barth (born November 6, 1758 in Munich ; † January 7, 1797 there ) was mayor of Munich and landscape chancellor .
Life
Carl Anton von Barth comes from one of the oldest patrician families ; this has been documented in Munich since 1272. In 1681 she was raised to the baron status and her burial place was in the Epiphany Chapel in the Frauenkirche .
He was the son of the Munich mayor, Franz Seraph Carl von Barth (* December 12, 1730; † unknown) zu Harmating , Bäsenbach , Ascholting , Reinthal and Langenpreising and his wife Maria Antonia, née. Baroness von Camerloher. The names of his siblings are known:
- Joseph Michael von Barth, city syndic of Munich from 1798 to 1803 .
After graduating from the Jesuit grammar school (today: Wilhelmsgymnasium ) in Munich, he began studying law at the University of Ingolstadt and, after passing the state examination in law, entered the service of Munich. In 1777 he was in charge of the Munich City Archives and was a member of the Inner Council from 1781 . As city counsel, he was also responsible for the city's legal affairs.
When Pope Pius VI. Visited Munich on April 30, 1782, the magistrate had been invited to "kiss the hand". At this ceremony, Carl Anton von Barth gave a speech to the Pope in Latin . In the same year he was also elected mayor after his predecessor Michael Adam Bergmann had died, and he was also city magistrate in Munich from 1783 to 1786.
In 1786 he was elected President of the Bavarian Estates Assembly, who was then called the Landscape Chancellor. He became the chief jurist and administrative officer of the landscape , that is, the corporation of the estates (nobility, prelates, cities and markets).
On April 4, 1787, he acquired the Dumbergerhof and Krienbergerhof with an agricultural plot of fields, meadows and woods with a total of 117 days' work . For this amalgamation of the property, now called Perlacheck , he asked Carl Theodor von Pfalzbayern for the noble freedom of noblemen and, associated with this, the permission to exercise the lower jurisdiction that the elector granted to him, his wife and his descendants.
In 1790 he had the Barth-Schlössl built on his property in Perlach , which also included a flower and herb garden and a bowling alley in the garden. After the construction he called himself Carl Anton von Barth in Harmating, Pasenbach and Perlacheck, as can be read on his grave epitaph in the Frauenkirche .
family
Carl Anton von Barth was married to Anna Maria (* 1758; † November 13, 1827 in Munich), daughter of the electoral councilor and town councilor Franz Carl Edler von Stoixner; together they had six sons:
- Karl Joseph Ferdinand von Barth (born May 13, 1783; † unknown);
- Kaspar Anton von Barth (born September 10, 1784; † unknown);
- Johann Nepomuk Pius von Barth (baptized: February 4, 1787; † June 8, 1865), married to Maria Theresia (born April 23, 1794 in Munich; † October 25, 1839 in Eurasburg ), b. v. Gumppenberg;
- Maximilian Joseph von Barth (* 1789; † 1790);
- Maximilian von Barth (born October 24, 1790; † unknown), director of the Bavarian Chamber of Accounts;
- Carl Benno Augustin von Barth (* 1791; † 1792).
The family stayed mainly in Perlach, but because of their social obligations they were also in their house at Fürstenfelder Straße 11 in Munich as well as in Harmating Castle and their moated castle in Pasenbach .
After his death, his widow Perlacheck sold the estate on July 12, 1801 to the court lord ob der Au, Franz Xaver von Schrödl, because the freedom of noblemen could not be transferred, despite multiple petitions by the widow and a complaint filed by the buyer on July 29, 1803 so that this was practically extinguished with the sale. Maximilian Joseph Freiherr von Montgelas , as the leading minister of Elector Max IV Joseph , had personally rejected the widow's request for reasons of political principle. She sold the Barth-Schlössl to Baroness Johanna Katharina Pergler von Perglas and moved to her house at Salvatorstraße 6 in Munich.
