from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Bernhard Wilhelm Reichsgraf von Plettenberg partly also Bernhard Wilhelm (* July 27, 1695 ; † April 12, 1730 ) was canon in Münster and Paderborn as well as Münster's Privy Councilor .

Life

As the son of the Münster district administrator Freiherr Johann Adolph von Plettenberg (1655–1696) and his wife Franziska Theresia von Wolff-Metternich zur Gracht (1667–1722), Bernhard Wilhelm grew up in one of the oldest and most important noble families in Westphalia . His siblings were:

Due to the resignation of his uncle Bernhard (1657–1708), Bernhard Wilhelm came into possession of a cathedral priest in Münster in 1709 . He was also canon in Paderborn , where he resigned in 1712. He studied at the universities of Paderborn and Siena and acquired Hovestadt Castle in 1710 , which has been family-owned since then. In 1729 he also acquired the Rüschhaus house , which his widow sold to Johann Conrad Schlaun in 1743 .

On August 27, 1720 he renounced his prebend in Münster in favor of Johann Franz Anton von Raesfeld. The reasons for this lay in the takeover of the family property. The revival of the knighthood of Münster dates back to December 27, 1722. He thus belonged to the state parliament , a body made up of the three estates . His task was to regulate the tax system and from 1447 also the feudal system in the bishopric of Münster .

On January 18, 1721, he married Countess Sophia Agnes von Westerholt in Münster (St.Lamberti) . The children left this marriage

  • Joseph Clemens (1721–1786, Treasurer and Amtsdrost in Werl, Neheim and Östinghausen),
  • Clemens August (1724–1778, Canon in Mainz, Paderborn and Münster) and
  • Ferdinand Joseph (1729–1777, Canon in Münster, Paderborn and Hildesheim).

In 1723, Elector Clemens August Plettenberg's brother Ferdinand was appointed Prime Minister for the Electorate of Cologne and the Principality of Münster, Paderborn, Osnabrück and Hildesheim. Until his dismissal in 1733, he led the political fortunes of the five church principalities. Friedrich Bernhard Wilhelm was, as a result of the uprising of his brother on December 8, 1724 by Emperor Karl VI. , also raised to the rank of imperial count and appointed on March 29, 1729 as the successor of his brother Friedrich Christian Ferdinand as the real district administrator, Münster privy councilor and district and war councilor, but died a year later. In 1733 his brother Ferdinand had to go into exile in Vienna after his release as Prime Minister.
