Live and act

Fabian II von Zehmen studied in Cracow and at the Leucorea University in Wittenberg, where he was matriculated on February 16, 1557. He received his practical training at the court of Emperor Ferdinand I and Maximilian II. In 1565 he became captain / Starost von Stuhm . Christburg denied the Kingdom of Poland to the Zehmen Brothers (Christoph, Fabian II. And Achaz II.), But they stormed it in December 1572. This approach caused a tremendous sensation in Warsaw. The Prussian state parliament campaigned for Zehmen and in April 1573 a settlement was made with the Polish nobles. In 1578 he was elected to the commission that had been appointed to revise Kulmischen law. When his uncle Fabian I. von Zehmen died in 1580, he became voivode of Marienburg instead of his 1581 . In addition, he received the senatorial dignity in the Reichstag and campaigned for Protestant teaching and the defense of Protestant church and school buildings. Fabian II von Zehmen died on August 22, 1605 and was buried in the Lutheran cathedral in Marienwerder. His corpse stone in the southern wall near the altar can still be seen, but with hardly recognizable writing and coat of arms .
