Christian (Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein)
Count Christian zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein (born August 31, 1627 , † June 13, 1675 in Neumarkt in der Oberpfalz ) was a court official and politician.
origin
Count Christian was a son of Count Georg Friedrich II zu Schillingsfürst and his wife Dorothea Sophia Countess of Solms-Hohensolms. His brothers were Count Heinrich Friedrich von Hohenlohe-Wartenburg and Johann Friedrich von Hohenlohe-Neuenstein.
Life
After only sparse instruction from a court master, Count Christian served in the French army under Marshal Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne, in his youth .
When his father, Count Georg Friedrich, died in 1635, the mother and her sons managed the family property until their death in 1660. Even now, the brothers did not divide the land, so it was only under Count Philipp Carl, a son of Count Christian, came to a land division.
On December 19, 1647, Count Palatine Ludwig Philipp von Simmern , probably in Kaiserslautern , accepted Count Christian into the Fruit Bringing Society on behalf of Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen . It was given the company name of the cute one and the motto well prepared . The Haberwurzel or goat beard ( Tragopogon porrifolius L. ) was intended as an emblem. Count Christian's entry can be found in the Koethener society book under the number 472. The rhyme law is also recorded there, with which he thanks for the admission:
The Haberwurtzel is young
when it is prepared. It is cute on the food. That's why I'm called '
The Cute': So one must be
eager to gracefully indulge in
such a thing, if one only loves virtue, history Very easily, because one can grab
one's heart
with a talk from art, spiced up with Understand, that
brings noble art, and is well applied.
On February 18, 1658, Count Christian married the Catholic Countess Lucia von Hatzfeld . It is very likely that he was influenced by his wife's influence to convert. On October 16, 1667, Count Christian zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein publicly converted to the Catholic faith.
Apparently, this act was also beneficial for the career, as two days later Count Christian was defeated by the emperor to imperial knight and appointed chamberlain. In 1672 he was promoted to chamberlain with the Bavarian elector when the latter appointed him governor in Neumarkt in the Upper Palatinate .
Count Christian zu Hohenlohe-Waldenburg-Bartenstein died there at the age of 48 on June 13, 1675.
