Everwin von Droste zu Möllenbeck
Everwin von Droste zu Möllenbeck (* 1592 , † 1661 ) was a landowner from the Droste zu Hülshoff family and a member of the fruitful society known as "Der Labende".
Life
Everwin V., who should not be confused with relatives of the same first name Droste zu Hülshoff , was born as one of 12 children and the eldest son of Alhard IV. Droste zu Möllenbeck and his wife Gertrud von Bischopinck, probably at Haus Möllenbeck (today Wolbeck ) . Everwin V. was a great-grandson of the mayor of Münster, Everwin II of Droste zu Handorf, and thus belonged to the 13th generation of the Droste zu Hülshoff family. His father had inherited the associated estate in 1603/04 from his sister Margaretha, the widow of Cord von Steveninck. In contrast to the rest of the Droste zu Hülshoff family, this branch of the family had probably adopted the Protestant denomination. In 1610 the whole family suffered a robbery on the Möllenbeck house, but were able to save themselves - Everwin's youngest brother, Herbert, became a Swedish colonel, landowner in Niederlausitz and the father of General Johann Eberhard von Droste zu Zützen . Everwin inherited the estate in 1625 and married his cousin Odilia Droste zu Hülshoff, a daughter of the mayor of Münster, Bernhard II von Droste zu Hülshoff , with whom he had five sons, a. a. his successor Bernhard III, who married Elisabeth von Morrien . However, they had no further descendants, so this branch of the family died out in the 17th century and the Möllenbeck house went bankrupt. The Möllenbeck house then passed to the von der Tinnen family and then to the Ketteler family (noble family) .
Working for the fruitful society
Everwin V. was chamberlain to Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen in 1618/19 , whose first wife was Amoena Amalia von Bentheim-Tecklenburg , from a Westphalian family with whom Heinrich I von Droste zu Hülshoff , the grandfather of Everwin's wife, was had good relationships. This prince was the founder and first chairman of the famous Fruit-Bringing Society , which was the first and largest German language academy, founded to realize ethical and linguistic-literary goals. At the same time as Everwin, the pedagogue Wolfgang Ratke worked there and it can be assumed that Everwin worked closely with him when it was founded and therefore, as Der Labende, was one of the first members of the Fruitful Society.
