Georg Erasmus von Tschernembl
Georg Erasmus Freiherr von Tschernembl (born January 26, 1567 Schwertberg , Upper Austria ; † November 18, 1626 in Geneva , Switzerland ) was a Calvinist and spokesman for the estates in Austria above the Enns .
Life
Georg Erasmus was the son of Hans von Tschernembl . On October 13, 1599 he married Elise Preuner (Breuner) .
As a Calvinist he was opposed to the House of Habsburg and strove for a union of Protestants in the Habsburg countries and in Germany. In the fraternal dispute between the House of Habsburg , he supported Archduke Matthias in the dispute with Emperor Rudolf II.
On August 12, 1606, he was the representative of the Upper Austrian estates at the negotiations in Vienna . In 1608 in particular he negotiated with representatives of the estates in Bohemia , Moravia and Hungary . After Rudolf II renounced his rule in Austria and Hungary, the estates wanted to obtain concessions from King Matthias ("Movement of Horn" - Horner Bund ). The negotiations about it dragged on, with the "Capitalations-Resolution" of March 19, 1609 the estates achieved free religious practice.
When Matthias died in 1619, Ferdinand II was his successor, who wanted to push through the Counter Reformation by all means. Tschernembl was at the head of the estates of Upper Austria, who refused to pay homage and on August 16, 1619 concluded an alliance with the rebellious Bohemian estates . When Tilly marched into Upper Austria with his army in the summer of 1620, Tschernembl fled with like-minded people to join the Bohemian troops in Eggenburg in Lower Austria and with these others to Prague , where he became president of the council of war at the request of Bohemian officers . After the defeat of the Bohemian estates at the Battle of the White Mountain (November 8, 1620), he went into exile via the Upper Palatinate, Württemberg and Heidelberg to Geneva , where he died impoverished.
