Christian Hieronymus von Stutterheim
Christian Hieronymus von Stutterheim (born October 5, 1690 in Forst ; † September 10, 1753 in Karlsruhe ) was the Margravial-Brandenburg-Kulmbach Real Privy Councilor and first minister .
Life
origin
Christian Hieronymus was a member of the noble family von Stutterheim, originally from Thuringia . His parents were the Saxon-Merseburg administrative governor of the offices of Forst and Spremberg , Heinrich Otto von Stutterheim (1659–1714) and Catharina Lucretia von Alvensleben (1664–1701).
Career
Stutterheim entered the Brandenburg-Kulmbach service around 1710/1711 and became chamberlain to Margrave Georg Wilhelm . Around 1715 he was already employed as court and judicial councilor, as well as court judge assessor in the Bayreuth administrative service and in 1719 he was appointed official governor in Erlangen, combined with promotion to the secret court and legation councilor. A year later, Stutterheim became a real secret council, court judge in Bayreuth and president of the judiciary in the Huguenot settlement of Christian-Erlangen . Also in 1719 he was awarded the Ordre de la sincérité .
Stutterheim later rose to become the first minister of the margrave and, as prime minister, chaired the secret council. Even under the new Margrave Georg Friedrich Karl , Stutterheim initially took the first place among the civil servants. He did not keep him as first minister, but appointed him envoy of the principality of Bayreuth to the Frankish imperial circle . Stutterheim became the 1727 bailiff in Hoheneck and Baiersdorf and for governor in Neustadt an der Aisch appointed. At the same time, he was granted all positions that were assigned to him at that time for life.
He then had the Stutterheim Palace built in Erlangen between 1728 and 1730 . Contrary to general expectations, however, Stutterheim was dismissed from all offices in 1730. Although he was granted a respectable pension of 2,500 thalers for this , he sought a lawsuit against the margrave before the Reich Chamber of Commerce , which ended with a settlement .
Stutterheim never lived in or managed his inherited estates, Ogrosen , Bolschwitz and Schöllnitz in Lausitz . He let relatives manage them for life.
family
Stutterheim married Johanna Maria von Sehligencron, a maternal great-granddaughter of Matthäus Merian, in Frankfurt (Main) in 1719 . Johann already had 13 children from her first marriage with Stutterheim's predecessor, Baron Johann Philipp von Hünefeld († 1715), but the marriage with Stutterheim produced another five children, including Christian Wilhelm Karl von Stutterheim .
