Johann von Mario zu Gammerslewe
Johann von Mario zu Gammerslewe (* before 1624, † around 1650 ) was a member of the Fruit Bringing Society .
Life
Little is known about his youth and education.
Under the orders of Christian I von Anhalt-Bernburg and later under that of Count Georg Friedrich von Hohenlohe-Neuenstein-Weikersheim , Johann von Mario zu Gammerslewe served as lieutenant colonel.
In 1624, Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen accepted him into the Fruit-Bringing Society . He gave it the company name of golden yellow and the motto for strengthening the heart . Saffron with the flower ( Crocus sativus L. ) was given to him as an emblem . Johann von Mario's entry can be found in the Koethener society book under the number 100. There is also the rhyme law recorded, with which he thanked for the admission:
- God's grace surrender to me
- Hope live Jch
- My mind is in honor
- Then live and die Jch
- Friend in need, friend to death,
- Friends behind Ruckhen, at the same time his 3 Starckh Bruckhen
- Jn unlucky fro, who khan then?
A few years later he was led as court master in the court of Prince Christian II of Anhalt-Bernburg . From 1629 he served as a Braunschweig colonel for three years. As such, Johann von Mario zu Gammerslewe married Elisabeth Hochgraf , the widow of Capitain Nikolaus von Buschhausen, on February 21, 1632 . With her he has a son, Johann Heinrich von Mario zu Gammerslewe .
Under Prince Friedrich Heinrich von Orange he was promoted to court man and military commissioner in The Hague . The correspondence with his friend Friedrich von Schilling , a Anhalt court marshal, has come down to us from this time . The correspondence with Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen has also survived in fragments .
From this we learn that Johann von Mario zu Gammerslewe asked several times in vain for his son, a colonel in Dutch service as governor of Hulst , to join the Fruit-Bringing Society.
Perhaps this request was simply lost between the death of Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen in 1650 and the election of Duke Wilhelm IV of Saxe-Weimar in 1651 as head of society. According to the current state of research, the death of the supplicant for the rejection would also be plausible.
