Life

Franz Hannibal von Mörmann was a son of Peter Franz Mörmann von Schönberg, caretaker from Hohenschwangau and his wife Maria Franziska Scherer von Hohenkreuzberg. He had a sister, Maria Anna Rosa (* 1704, † 1739). From 1666 onwards, the father tried to find an exposition for his son and received the promise that the son would be taken into electoral service.

Franz Hannibal von Mörmann studied law at the University of Ingolstadt , where he passed an exam. In 1683 he took a trial relation at the time before the Bavarian Councilor . From July 1688 he was employed as an unpaid regimental councilor in Burghausen . On June 12, 1689 was Councilor and Steward with a salary of 500 guilders a year. From 1692 to 1706 in the Nine Years' War was Maximilian II. Emanuel of Bavaria General governor of the Spanish Netherlands . On April 12, 1693, he appointed Franz Hannibal von Mörmann by decree as his resident with Emperor Leopold I in Vienna . Mörmann took up this office at the beginning of June 1693.

1695 threw troops from Wilhelm III. of Orange Maximilian II Emanuel from the Citadel of Namur . In the field camp in front of the castle, on August 30, 1695, he decreed an expense limit of 4000 guilders for the regular payment of 6000 guilders per year for Franz Hannibal von Mörmann. The death of Charles II of Spain triggered the War of the Spanish Succession . Maximilian II let his troops take Ulm by surprise on September 8, 1702 and also occupy Memmingen on September 30, 1702 , with which he sided with Ludwig XIV and was ostracized by Leopold I. Mörmann was asked to leave Vienna in November 1702. As a result, Munich received a waiting allowance of 2,000 guilders a year and was occasionally entrusted with diplomatic missions. After the Battle of Blenheim , he negotiated the Treaty of Ilbesheim of November 7, 1704 with Johann Sebald Neusönner on behalf of Therese Kunigunde of Poland with the army of the future Emperor Joseph I. His expense bills subsequently prove a diplomatic trip to London . From September 8, 1714 and the Peace of Baden he was resident again in Vienna. His salary there was transferred again from January 1, 1715. While still in this position, he was promoted to secret council and envoy. On April 23, 1719 he was replaced by Ernst von Essich as resident in Vienna.

From 1723 Mörmann was called a baron. On December 19, 1727, Karl Albrecht, Elector of Bavaria in Munich , gave him half a knight's fief for 1,500 guilders. Mörmann spent the winter of 1732 to 1733 in Munich.
