Ernst von Heynitz

Ernst Gottlob von Heynitz (born February 12, 1801 in Königshain , † March 17, 1861 in Heynitz ) was a Saxon politician. He was a lifelong member of the Saxon Chamber of Estates in Dresden and owned the Heynitz and Wunschwitz manors .

Life

He comes from the Meissen noble family von Heynitz and is the second eldest son of Karl Heinrich Ludwig von Heynitz (1755-1824), who had inherited from his uncle Carl Adolph Gottlob von Schachmann Rittergut and Königshain Castle . The educational officer of Ernst Gottlob and his brother Karl was Samuel David Roller from Heynitz , who in 1799, after completing his theology studies, got a job with Karl Heinrich Ludwig von Heynitz and became the godfather of his two sons. The noble von Heynitz family was connected to the Moravian Brethren , which meant that both the children and their educators, Roller, came into contact with Herrnhut Pietism .

In 1823 Ernst Gottlob von Heynitz acquired the Hermsdorf Palace and Estate from Heinrich Ludwig Burggraf zu Dohna , a grandson of Nikolaus Ludwig von Zinzendorf . Already under Burggraf zu Dohna, Hermsdorf Castle developed from 1808 into a center of Herrnhut-Pietist piety and the Saxon awakening movement , which Heynitz continued as the new owner from 1823. Ernst's brother Karl opened his Königshain Palace to the same movement.

Heynitz was married twice. His children include the mining authority assessor Georg von Heynitz (1825–1887) and the owner of Oberrheinsberg, Otto von Heynitz.
