Clemens August von Korff called Schmising zu Tatenhausen (* February 15, 1721 ; † April 22, 1787 Münster ) was official droste in Dülmen and president of the prince-bishop's court chamber .

Life

Origin and family

Born as the son of the married couple Caspar Heinrich Matthias von Korff called Schmising zu Tatenhausen and Antonia Helena von Landsberg zu Erwitte (1697–1739), Clemens August came from the ancient Westphalian noble family von Korff . His older brother Franz Otto was an official in Cloppenburg and a treasurer of the Electorate of Cologne.

Career and work

In 1736 Clemens August received a cathedral priest in Passau and six years later by papal ordinance for the cathedral in Münster. After his brother resigned from office, he also received the cathedral praise in Osnabrück in 1747. He received another prebend in 1753 for the cathedral in Minden (so-called Galensche Erbpräbende). On November 12, 1761, he was appointed to the Dülmen office. After the death of his predecessor Ferdinand von der Reck, Clemens August asked for this office on September 23, but the cathedral chapter initially disagreed as to whether it should be allowed to grant this office. Finally there was a majority for this and the new sovereign confirmed the appointment on December 3rd. The appointment as President of the Court Chamber was on August 13, 1744. This was possibly against the background of preventing him from running for the office of cathedral dean. Shortly before his death on March 23, 1787, he renounced the Dompräbende in Osnabrück.

Others

Clemens August was buried on April 24, 1787 in Münster Cathedral.
