Christian von Klengel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Klengel , since 1664 von Klengel (* 1629 in Dresden , † February 15, 1693 in Hohenprießnitz ) was a German university professor and lawyer .

Life

He was the first son of the Electoral Saxon council and chief tax accountant Caspar Klengel and Sabine Elisabeth, daughter of the Electoral Saxon captain in the satellite bodyguard Wolfgang Fischer.

Together with his brother Wolf Caspar he received lessons from private teachers. He then studied law in Wittenberg and, from 1650, in Strasbourg . After receiving his doctorate there in 1652, he received a professorship at the University of Wittenberg. In 1663 he was appointed rector of the university for the summer semester.

Together with his brothers Wolf Caspar, Saxon master builder and chief inspector of civil and military buildings, as well as Carl, electoral Saxon junker, Christian Klengel was raised to the imperial nobility under the Saxon Elector Johann Georg II with a diploma on April 16, 1664 . This was probably due to the merits of Wolf Caspar and Christians.

Through his contacts with the electoral court, he was appointed to the electoral Saxon chamber council and court judge as well as consistorial assessor. In 1679 he was appointed to the Real Secret Council .

In 1675 Klengel acquired the Hohenprießnitz manor . Here he had a new mansion built around 1677, for which his brother Wolf Caspar probably provided the building plans. After Christian's death, his widow probably sold the estate in 1699. In addition, the family still owned Weißig and large and small Rössen .

He left no male offspring as his two sons had died young. He was buried in the Hohenprießnitz church, where he was given a marble grave slab with a Latin inscription. Christian von Klengel was one of the most influential and well-known men in Saxony in his later days.
