David vom Stain (* 1525 ; † February 18, 1565 ) was the head of the Bühler line of the Lords of Stain in Bühl , today a district of Tübingen . He is the builder of Bühl Castle and introduced the Reformation in Bühl.
Life
David vom Stain was the second youngest son of Bernhard vom Stain and Anna vom Stain, who was widowed in 1536 after 14 years of marriage. She had seven children, six sons and a daughter. After the father's death, the inheritance was divided among the six sons by lot. Since there were only three dominions to be given, David von Stain was left empty-handed when the inheritance was divided on August 11, 1550. He was compensated with money (16,776 florins ) and only received her part of the rule of Bühl from his mother on August 26, 1550, which she had held until then. This rule only extended over half of Bühl, since the other half was ruled by Georg von Ehingen . After taking over the rule, David vom Stain founded the Knight Society in Freiburg in 1546. He married Anna von Weiher, whose family owned the Weiherschlösschen in Emmendingen . In his subsequent reign he introduced the Reformation in Bühl, with which he came into contact through scholars (1553), and built Bühl Castle . Reports show that he valued the fine arts very much in his life and also the contact with learned men. In addition, he had proven himself as a soldier; however, no precise participation in the war is known. There are presumptions of participation in the Turkish War in 1542 and the war in France in 1544. In the Schmalkaldic War of 1546/47, the rule of the Stain family came to the Habsburgs and later under the suzerainty of the Protestant House of Württemberg .
David vom Stain ruled until his death on February 18, 1565. The text of the epitaph was handed down to Martin Crusius , who visited the Bühler Church on August 4, 1589 and published this inscription among others:
“Anno 1565, February 18, died the noble and Vest David vom Stein zu Bühel: He who, by the grace of God, also established the pure teaching of the Holy Gospel there. To whom also the Lord God, with all external worlds, bestow a joyful resurrection, amen. "
Her mother Anna vom Stain has an inheritance dispute
After Margarete von Rosenfeld, b. Hoheneck, despite several heirs, the first cousin, Anna vom Stain geb. von Hoheneck, the widow of the late Bernhard vom Stain im Emerkingen , who left the entire legacy, an inheritance dispute broke out. This was used by Georg II von Ehingen (died 1561) in his favor, and the disputed half of the fief fell to him through the upper feudal court. In the years 1537 to 1542 Anna vom Stain compensated the other beneficiaries with small amounts. Anna vom Stain's rule was overshadowed by the strained relationship with Georg von Ehingen and resulted in her having to hide behind her brothers. He continued his encroachments on the domain until 1542, until he was put in his place in 1544 by a commission of the Upper Austrian government in Innsbruck , which Anna vom Stain had called upon. Anna vom Stain proved to be a good administrator and thus led the Bühl domain to a certain degree of prosperity.
Builder of Bühl Castle
According to Georg von Ehingen, the complex history of the castle's origins is as follows: “His dwelling was only a bad maier or purahaus from the start, he has now turned it into a free castle of his own.” In addition to redesigning and enlarging the old castle David vom Stain also rebuilt the place and furnished his mother with a widow's residence. The construction work was finished by David vom Stain in 1554 and completed with the expansion and walling of the palace garden. The following Latin inscription shows that he saw himself as the sole client:
Qui vetera a Saxo nomina David habet.
Ille bonas coluit iuvenis qui sedulus artes:
Et vero doctos fovit amore viros.
Ille feri studiis clarum qui Martis adeptus
noun habet: cuius fortia facta patent.
Qui Musas igitur, vel tristia diligit arma:
Hunc amet. Hic vero est dignus amore coli.
bears the old name David vom Stain.
He who diligently studied the arts when he was young
and admired learned men with true love.
He who was extraordinarily skilled in the study of wild Mars has
a name whose mighty deeds are famous.
So whoever loves the muses, or hard weapons,
should admire him: this man is truly worthy of being worshiped with love.
David vom Stain, the reformer
After the renovation of the Bühler Castle, David vom Stain also brought Protestant teaching to the town, and thus one half of Bühl became Protestant. His son Leopold Carl stated in 1593 that his father had changed the religion 40 years ago, and in 1609 he declared that his father had introduced the Reformation in Bühl 60 years ago. David vom Stain was a pious and devout man who, through skillful diplomacy, not only made agreements with pastors, but also survived his opponent Georg von Ehingen. When Georg II von Ehingen also approached the new Protestant doctrine, David von Stain had already made agreements with the Catholic pastor of Kilchberg at the time, which included parishing the residents from Bühl to Kilchberg. So they could attend the service there and were buried there. In return, the Catholic pastor was allowed to read the Catholic mass in Bühl every Wednesday.
