from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich Kasimir von Pfalz-Landsberg (born June 10, 1585 in Zweibrücken , † September 30, 1645 at Montfort Castle in Montigny-Montfort ) was the second son of Johann I and Magdalena von Jülich-Kleve-Berg and as Duke of Palatinate Landsberg the founder of a short-lived branch of the Wittelsbach family . It found its continuation in the dynastically not entitled to inheritance baron von Fürstenwarther .

After the death of his father in 1604, he and his two brothers divided the inheritance among themselves: the eldest, Johann , inherited Pfalz-Zweibrücken, the second, Friedrich Kasimir, received office and castle Landsberg , while the office of Kleeburg was given to the youngest son, Johann Casimir left.

Friedrich Kasimir began to have the castle converted into a residential palace. The Thirty Years' War then gave the complex an eventful history: in 1620 it was occupied and looted by the Spaniards, in 1631 by the Swedes and in 1635 by imperial Croats. During this time the family fled to Montfort Castle near Montigny-Montfort in Burgundy . Friedrich Kasimir's wife Emilia had received it from her father and stayed there as a widow.

Friedrich Kasimir was buried in the Alexander Church in Zweibrücken.
