Caspar Schliederer von Lachen (* around 1530 ; † November 14, 1585 in Buxheim ) was a noble canon in the prince-bishops of Speyer and Augsburg , later Carthusian prior of the Buxheim monastery , as well as a provincial order .

Origin and family

He came from the Palatinate nobility of the Schlieder von Lachen family . His father Paul Schliederer von Lachen lived in Deidesheim , was in the service of the Speyer bishop and was married twice; first with Barbara von Sternenfels , later with Anna von Venningen . It is unclear from which marriage Caspar Schliederer von Lachen came. The Father's great-grandfather, Pallas closing of those of laughter (the Elder), officiated in 1452 in Neustadt on the Wine Route as Kurpfälzer Vizedom and Bailiff of Speyergaues ; the grave slab of his wife Christina geb. von Eppelsheim († 1439) is preserved in the paradise of the Neustadt collegiate church .

Caspar's brother Beat Heinrich Schliederer von Lachen acted as episcopal Speyer bailiff to Madenburg and Landeck , then as Vogt in Bruchsal . Another brother, Wilhelm Schliederer von Lachen (* 1534) was in the service of the bishop of Augsburg a . a. as long-time governor in Dillingen . In 1581, on the recommendation of the papal nuncio, he was appointed court master of the eight-year-old Prince Maximilian of Bavaria, later Elector Maximilian I. He held this office until 1587 and then took over the position of his brother as Speyer Vogt in Bruhrain .

Caspar's sister Rosina Schliederer von Lachen (1544–1615) was married to Rudolf von Oberstein , the brother of the Speyer cathedral dean Andreas von Oberstein (1533–1603), an important reformer as defined by the Council of Trent . She was buried in the Liebfrauenkirche Worms , where her coat of arms grave slab still exists.

Live and act

Caspar Schliederer von Lachen chose the clergy. From 1559 to 1569 he was canon in Augsburg , from 1562 to 1569 also in Speyer , where in 1565 he was promoted to cathedral cantor.

He was deeply religious and in 1569 renounced his canon posts and their income in order to join the Carthusian order, which is one of the strictest orders. Its members are vegetarian and are only allowed to speak at certain times. Schliederer von Lachen entered the Freiburg Charterhouse in 1569 , where he became prior in 1574 . In 1575 he was appointed prior of the Buxheim Charterhouse , in which office he remained until his death. Soon he was also the main visitor and superior of the order province. He is considered an important prior of Buxheim, under whom the monastery flourished.

Caspar Schliederer von Lachen died on November 14, 1585 in the Buxheim Charterhouse and was buried here. Its epitaph plate is preserved there.

Presumably under Schliederer's influence, his relative, the Speyer cathedral dean Andreas von Oberstein, wanted to renounce the world several times and join the Carthusian order (especially in Lent 1574). But he could always be persuaded to refrain from doing so in order to continue to be available to the Speyer church.
