Life

He was born as the son of Alexander Marschall von Bieberstein from the family Marschall von Bieberstein and his wife Johanna Barbara, nee. von Milckau , born. In 1649, his parents and his older brother Leonhard placed him in the care of their father's sister, Maria von Hartitzsch and her husband, Georg Ernst von Hartitzsch, where both brothers were brought up together with their aunt's son. In 1650 he was accepted by the Electoral Saxon Court Marshal von Krahen in Dresden , where he, together with the sons of the Court Marshal, received private lessons for seven years at the expense of the Saxon Elector Johann Georg I.

Three years of changing training locations followed, first as a student at the state school in Grimma , then as a private student again with his relatives von Hartitzsch, who meanwhile lived at Schloss Friedeburg near Mansfeld , and finally with his sister and her husband, the Saxon-Merseburg privy councilor Georg Heinrich by Luckowin. Around 1660 he was accepted as a page by Duke Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar , but already a year later he joined Landgrave Friedrich von Hessen-Homburg as a chamberlain .

At the beginning of 1664 he entered the military service of Emperor Leopold I to take part in the Hungarian campaign, but when he arrived in Bohemia, Duke August von Sachsen-Weißenfels made him return home and accepted him as a cornet in his military service, however, six months later already released because of the peace treaty made in August 1664. Instead he entered the service of Brunswick-Lüneburg, first as a cornet and later as a first lieutenant , where he participated in several campaigns, a. a. in Holland (1668). Immediately before his assignment in Holland, he married his cousin Anna Magdalena von Hartitzsch on March 26, 1668 in Halle , with whom he had eleven children. After returning from Holland he entered the civil service of the Duke of Saxe-Weissenfels as a chamberlain . In 1670 he acquired the manors at Obermon and Niederschmon near Querfurt . At the same time, like his older brother, Alexander Haubold Marschall von Bieberstein , he joined the Fruitful Society , where he was nicknamed Der Anfrischende .

In 1671 he again took on a military role, this time as Rittmeister of a Leibcompany in Saxony-Weißenfels. He took part in the siege of Groningen . In 1675 he became court master of the Duchess Johanna Magdalena of Saxony-Altenburg and in the following year also the court master of Duke Johann Adolph I of Saxony-Weissenfels .

On July 6, 1680 he was appointed to the Real Councilor of the Duke of Saxony-Weissenfels. On September 17, 1681 he married for the second time, this time in Creupa Armgard von Hahn, daughter of Christian Wilhelm von Hahn on Seeburg, with whom he had four children. In 1683 he was honorably discharged from civil service at his own request for reasons of age and withdrew to his possessions in Schmon.

On August 13, 1687 he bought his brother Alexander Haubold Marschall von Bieberstein's manor in the old town of Artern, later known as the Unterhof, to which the Ritteburg manor also belonged. Two months later he died on October 23, 1687 in Oberschmon. His four underage children had to sell the indebted Artern and Ritteburg goods to Hans Christoph von Trebra on April 10, 1688.

He was solemnly buried on October 27, 1687 in the church in Schmon. The funeral sermon he delivered appeared in print.
