from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Franz Anton Bawyr von Frankenberg (also: von Frankenberg without Bawyr or Baur von Frankenberg ) (* 1668 ; † March 25, 1735 ) from the noble family of the Lords of Buer was an electoral Palatinate councilor, Bergisch bailiff of Löwenberg / Lülsdorf , field marshal , lieutenant general and lieutenant general Interim governor of Düsseldorf and governor of Jülich Fortress .

origin

Franz Anton's father was the Jülich-Bergische Hofkammerrat , colonel of the cavalry , Bergisch bailiff at Löwenberg / Lülsdorf and Palatinate-New Burg bailiff at Burg Landsberg in the Palatinate Johann Friedrich Bawyr von Frankenberg (* around 1636, † 1689); his mother his first wife Anna Maria Katharina von Weichs (documented 1661–1665, † 1672).

Franz Anton had at least five full siblings and a further six half siblings from the father's second marriage. Among his siblings were Friedrich Ferdinand Bawyr von Frankenberg , Bergischer Pfennigmeister and Lieutenant General of the Cavalry, and Maria Sophia Bawyr von Frankenberg , Abbess St. Cecilia of Cologne .

Life & Career

In the War of the Spanish Succession (1701–1714), Franz Anton helped to command Palatine auxiliaries in Italy. Probably because of this commitment, Franz Anton was awarded the title of Count together with his brother Friedrich Ferdinand in 1713. Only two years later he was appointed General War Commissarius and commander of the entire cavalry .

In 1720 Franz Anton took over the position of bailiff in Löwenburg / Lülsdorf. Previously, his older brother Friedrich Ferdinand and before that his father Johann Friedrich held the position. At the time when Brother Friedrich Ferdinand was bailiff in Löwenburg, Franz Anton was adjunctus there .

After the childless death of his older brother Friedrich Ferdinand in 1726, his property passed to Franz Anton. The legacy particularly included the knight seats Böckum , Rommeljans and Hohenholz with the goods that were stuck on. As a result, Franz Anton appears from this point in time as a member of the Jülich'sche Land estates (1730).

From 1726 to 1733 Franz Anton appears as interim governor of Düsseldorf. During this time (1731) he was appointed Field Marshal General. He then became governor of the Jülich Fortress and two years later (1735) was promoted to lieutenant general. In the same year Franz Anton died unmarried and childless at the age of 66. When he died of a stroke on the night of March 25th to March 26th, 1735, he was not only governor of Jülich, but also the Electoral Palatinate Privy Councilor and colonel of a guard on horseback.
