Conrad Philipp von Romberg
Conrad Philipp von Romberg (* 1620 in Dortmund ; † 1703 ibid) was a Westphalian-Brandenburg nobleman from the Romberg family . He had his seat at Castle Brünninghausen .
Conrad Philipp was born the sole inheritance son of Caspar von Romberg and his wife, the former abbess of the Clarenberg monastery in Hörde , Anna Theodora von Viermund .
As the first of the family, Conrad Philipp should not follow the traditional way of life of the Brandenburg landed gentry. He studied law and began a career in administration. Conrad Philipp became President of the Court Chamber in Kleve and was also the spokesman for the Brandenburg state estates.
After 1648, the previously independent United Duchies of Jülich-Kleve-Berg went to Prussia-Brandenburg and Conrad Philipp von Romberg became an important official at the court in Berlin.
In addition to his administrative tasks, he also took care of the economic well-being of the Rombergs. Under his influence, the Rombergs' property was greatly expanded. Bladenhorst Castle and the surrounding lands and Kotten went to the family. Conrad Philipp also acquired the noble residences of Haus Colvenburg near Billerbeck , Haus Dönhoff near Wengern and Haus Wiesche in Bochum .
Conrad Philipp owed his prosperity to his milling rights on the one hand and to profits from mining on the other. Like his father, he was involved in mining and opened up other collieries.
He was married to Christine Lucille von Gent . They had a son named Otto Caspar von Romberg .
