Christian Franz von Hacke (born December 13, 1731 , † January 6, 1807 in Bruchsal ) was a baron , cathedral chapter in Speyer and choir bishop in the Archdiocese of Trier .

Origin and family

He was born as one of 18 children of Baron Ludwig Anton von Hacke (1682-1752) - Kurpfälzer Colonel hunter - or Colonel forester and owner of independent rule Trippstadt - and his wife Maria Anna Theodora Regina from Wachtendonk, daughter of Alzeyer Oberamt man Hermann Adrian von Wachtendonk (1666–1702) and sister of the influential Electoral Palatinate Minister Hermann Arnold von Wachtendonk-Germenseel (1694–1768).

His brother Franz Karl Ludwig Wilhelm von Hacke officiated from 1756 as authorized minister or envoy of the Electoral Palatinate at the Viennese court and drowned on September 4, 1757 in a shipwreck on the Danube near Kelheim .

As a result of the early accidental death of Franz Karl Ludwig Wilhelm, the younger brother Franz Karl Joseph von Hacke (1727–1780) entered his father's positions, became sovereign in Trippstadt and built the castle there . He was married to Amöna Marie Charlotte Juliane Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler , daughter of the Dirmstein local nobility Marsilius Franz Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler .

The sister Antoinette von Hacke (1736–1778) married the Electoral Palatinate Finance Minister Franz Karl Joseph Anton von Hompesch zu Bolheim (1735–1800), brother of the Maltese Grand Master Ferdinand von Hompesch zu Bolheim (1744–1805). Through their daughter Elisabeth Auguste von Hompesch zu Bolheim, who married Count Carl-Wilhelm Franz-Xaver von Spee (1758–1810), they are the great-great-grandparents of Admiral Count Maximilian von Spee , who has become famous in recent German history died with his two sons in a naval battle in the Falkland Islands .

Maria Charlotte Amalia, another sister, married Joseph Karl Ferdinand Friedrich Franz Anton von Sickingen (1708–1787), son of the Electoral Palatinate minister and treasurer Johann Ferdinand von Sickingen (1664–1719).

Live and act

Gatehouse of the Philipps Curia Trier, with the coat of arms of the choir bishop von Hacke

Christian Franz von Hacke became a Catholic clergyman, domicellar in Trier in 1742 and in 1754 received a canonical at Speyer Cathedral, which had been completed by the death of Würzburg Bishop Karl Philipp von Greiffenclau zu Vollrads . Here he subsequently also held the office of cathedral cantor and provost of the St. German and Moritz monastery . In Speyer, the canon also belonged to the circle of friends of the writer Sophie von La Roche and was close friends with canon Joseph Anton Siegmund von Beroldingen , an acquaintance of Johann Wolfgang von Goethe .

In the Trier Sprengel von Hacke was already domicellar in 1747 and rose to cathedral capitular in 1771 , and in 1774 to cathedral scholaster . In 1775 he became archdeacon of St. Agatha in Longuyon with the honorary title of choir bishop (without episcopal ordination), in 1777 provost , archdeacon and choir bishop in Karden . From 1792 he officiated as the last provost of St. Lubentius in Dietkirchen and high choir bishop of the Archdiocese of Trier. In addition to his spiritual activities, he has long been Kurtrierer bailiff in Welschbillig and bore the title of Privy Council . In 1790 Christian Franz von Hacke accompanied the Trier Elector Clemens Wenzeslaus of Saxony to the election and coronation of Emperor Leopold II in Frankfurt . The choir bishop had the gate of the Philipps Curia , adorned with his coat of arms, built at the Trier cathedral free courtyard . He had his domicile in the associated building since 1785. When Goethe came to Trier for the second time in October 1792, Hacke was the only high cleric who had not yet fled. Goethe was with him and there has been a memorial plaque on the Philipps Curia since 1899, which states that the poet even lived with him.

As a result of the war events and the incursion of the French Revolutionary Army into the areas on the left bank of the Rhine , von Hacke went permanently to Speyer around 1793 , where he had often stayed before due to his offices there. When the French came here too, he and the rest of the Speyer cathedral chapter moved to Bruchsal on the right bank of the Rhine . Prince-Bishop August von Limburg-Stirum , who fled in September 1792, appointed Hacke and his friend Beroldingen as his governors.

Since the territory on the left bank of the Rhine - with Trier and Speyer - fell permanently to France from 1797, Christian Franz von Hacke remained territorial in Bruchsal, where the old prince-bishopric of Speyer continued to exist as a rump diocese (without its regions on the left bank of the Rhine) under the name "Vikariat Bruchsal" but in 1803 it rose in the Grand Duchy of Baden . As a result, the Baden Court and State Calendar of 1805 lists him as a pensioner in this country. In 1802 Hacke was also mentioned as provost of the Speyer chair brotherhood . He died in Bruchsal on January 6, 1807, as the last senior choir bishop of the Archdiocese of Trier, which was no longer in existence at that time.

In 1784 Christian Franz von Hacke was the godfather of the writer Christian Brentano , a grandson of his friend Sophie von La Roche.
