from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Caspar Josef Carl von Mylius (born November 11, 1749 Cologne ; † July 4, 1831 Reuschenberg / Bürrig ) was one of the sons of Cologne mayor Johann Heinrich Arnold von Mylius (1709–1774; terms of office 1754/55, 1757/58, 1760 / 61, 1763/64, 1766/67, 1769/70, 1772/73) and became known beyond the city as a soldier. Mylius is a very old family belonging to the noble patrician families of the former Free Imperial City of Cologne, which held important city offices and was raised to the status of imperial baron in 1775. Head of the two male lines were:

  • Freiherr Everhard, son of the Prussian "Secret Justizrath" u. Senate President at the Court of Appeal (now: Higher Regional Court) Freiherr Karl, (* 1813), was "Oberprocurator" at the Regional Court in Cologne.
  • Baron Everhard, son of Sergeant General Baron Kaspar Joseph, who died in 1831, was a treasurer and "lieutenant colonel" in the Austrian army.

Career

After joining the Austrian army, Caspar Josef Carl von Mylius was appointed baron by Empress Maria Theresa on December 9, 1775 . His highest rank there was field marshal lieutenant, to which he was promoted on September 13, 1799. In his first marriage he was married to Maria Anna von Groote from 1781 and from May 15, 1802 to Henriette Freiin von Wyle in a second marriage. This became the sole heir to Reuschenberg Castle , which he had owned since 1767 , and to which he retired after his discharge from the army in February 1805.

family

He was married twice. He married Maria Anna von Gro (o) te († 1785) in 1781 and Freiin Henriette von Wyle († 1823) on May 15, 1802 . He had children from his first marriage:

  • Eberhard Gereon (January 10, 1784 - March 3, 1865) ⚭ 1825 Karoline von Managetta and Lerchenau (November 4, 1804 - December 13, 1832)

Notoriety

Some sources ascribe to him to have brought a handwritten text version of the folk song Der loyal Husar from Austria to Cologne from 1781 . This probably earliest version was found in his estate in 1929. The song is sung in Germany, but especially in Cologne, at Carnival .
