Hans Adolph Wilhelm von Seebach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Hans Adolph Wilhelm von Seebach (born August 21, 1694 in Schönewerda ; † September 28, 1772 ibid) was a Brunswick-Lüneburg landdrost and manor owner . He was heir, feudal lord and court lord on Schönewerda and Eßmannsdorf . He owned two thirds of these feudal estates. The remaining third was owned by his younger brother Hans Anton Gottlob von Seebach, who died childless in 1767.

Life

He came from the Thuringian noble family von Seebach and was the eldest son of the later royal-Polish and electoral-Saxon chamberlain Hans Wilhelm von Seebach auf Schönewerda, Eßmannsdorf and Großengottern, who died in 1725. His sons Hans Adolph Wilhelm, Hans Anton Gottlob (d. 1767) and Hans Georg Carl received Schönewerda and Eßmannsdorf, while his son Hans Wolf Friedrich von Seebach received Großengottern. Hans Georg Carl von Seebach sold his third to Schönewerda and Eßmannsdorf to his eldest brother Hans Adolph Wilhelm von Seebach as early as 1738.

Hans Adolph Wilhelm von Seebach allowed himself to be called a baron in Schönewerda , although he or his father were not promoted to the baron status with a nobility diploma . In correspondence with the Electoral Saxon authorities, the title of baron was therefore omitted. It was only his children who began using the term Freiherr in customary law from 1775 onwards to the authorities in Electoral Saxony, but were not addressed as such in the official letter. Only in the 19th century was this Seebacher family branch officially permitted to use the title of baron in the Kingdom of Saxony.
