Goswin Droste to Vischering

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Goswin Droste zu Vischering (* 1612 ; † September 2, 1680 in Münster ) was Dombursar in the prince-bishopric of Münster and Amtsdroste in Dülmen.

Life

Origin and family

Goswin Droste zu Vischering was the son of the Heidenreich Droste zu Vischering (* 1580, † 1643, Amtsdroste) and Margaretha von Raesfeld († 1659) belonged to the Westphalian Uradel Droste zu Vischering , one of the oldest and most important families in the Principality of Münster. Numerous Catholic dignitaries have emerged from this family line. From 1549 to 1803 he also put the official resignation in the offices of Ahaus and Horstmar, including Goswin's brother Heidenreich .

Career

He was ordained on May 10, 1641 and received the tonsure . After studying in Paris, he received the cathedral praise in Münster on August 29th , after his brother Heidenreich had renounced. In 1646, after his uncle Adolf Heinrich renounced him, he was awarded the cathedral praise in Osnabrück. In 1653 he succeeded his uncle Gottfried Dombursar (responsible for finances) and was ordained a subdiaconate on November 14, 1656. Nine years later he joined the Brotherhood of Our Lady at St. Aegidii Church. He became a councilor and spiritual father of the Capuchin Convention. In 1669 he donated a family epitaph in Münster Cathedral . As a substitute official in Dülmen (since August 9, 1671) he wanted to take over the Dülmen provost, which was connected to the archdeaconate, but initially failed because it belonged to the cathedral winery . Domkellner Beverförde renounced this, so that the prince-bishop admitted him for this office on the condition that this lasted only as long as no new cathedral waiter desires the provost's office.

In 1680 he bought Vischering Castle , which is still owned by the family today.
