Dietrich III. von Fahrensbach (Varensbeke) († after 1576) was episcopal and ducal councilor in the diocese of Ösel-Wiek , as well as lord of Heimar and Lauck .

family

Dietrich von Fahrensbach came from the German-Baltic Fahrensbach family . His parents were Dietrich II von Fahrensbach zu Heimar and Magdalena von Dücker . Dietrich's wife was Anna von Rosen adH Allo, with her he had at least one son of the same name, Dietrich IV zu Heimar and Riesenberg , as well as a daughter Anna, who inherited the Lauck estate and was married three times.

Life

In 1525 and 1534 he was first mentioned in a document as a lord on Heimar. In 1527 he was a vassal of the Oesel monastery in the Wiek. In 1552 he acquired the Lauck estate. In 1557 he compared himself to his brothers-in-law because of the Allo estate near Rapla . Also in 1557 he was among the executors of Johann III. called by Fahrensbach .

He was a member of the council of the bishop of Ösel and as such first council, donor and bailiff of the bishop (1542-1560) Johann V. von Münchhausen . From 1560 to 1574 he served as a councilor to Magnus of Denmark . However, at this time he was also an informant of Frederick II , his master's brother. In 1562 he wrote to him (for example): Livonia was being devastated equally unhappily by Swedes, Poles and Russians, it was therefore very difficult to distinguish the friend from the enemy, it would be as if everyone wanted to tear the best piece out of a load of hay.

During the rapprochement phase (1569-1570) to Ivan the Terrible , Dietrich was entrusted with several diplomatic tasks. On July 21, 1574 he was taken prisoner in Sweden and his property was looted. He then fell from Duke Magnus and performed Johann III. the oath of allegiance. Here, too, he was employed as an experienced and valued diplomat when Sweden and Poland were looking for a livelihood. On June 4, 1578 he brought news from Johann III. to Stephan Báthory .

In 1576 he was named as governor in Arensburg .
