Life

Schleinitz is the son of Lieutenant Colonel Haubold von Schleinitz from the House of Radegast auf Kospoda and his wife Anna Brand von Lindau from the House of Wiesenburg .

After the usual upbringing by private tutors, Schleinitz became a pikeman at the age of 20 in the Electoral Saxon Regiment Schlieffen , in which his father served as a captain at the time. He practiced this profession until 1622 and then became a corporal in the regiment of Duke Friedrich II of Saxony-Altenburg , which he had formed on behalf of the King of Denmark. But after the death of his duke on October 25, 1625 Schleinitz switched to the Schlawata regiment as a cornet . For some time he also served as a lieutenant in the regiment of Duke Bernhard von Sachsen-Weimar . For another two years, from 1628 to 1630 , he was subordinate to Count Mansfeld as a lieutenant.

In 1631, Prince Ernst von Anhalt-Bernburg appointed him Rittmeister in Electoral Saxony. Schleinitz then made a career at his court and was appointed colonel in 1634. Schleinitz married Maria Magdalena von Bünau on December 10th in the city of Brandenburg .

With the rank of colonel, Schleinitz worked at the court of Prince Ernst until 1646 and did not change to administrative service until 1647. As governor, he administered the Saxon offices of Weida , Arnshaugk and Ziegenrück in the Neustadt district. As such, Schleinitz was appointed Chamberlain and Council of War by Elector Johann Georg II of Saxony . Even the brother of Elector Moritz von Sachsen-Zeitz does not want to stand back and appoints Schleinitz as his court marshal.

Hans Georg Haubold von Schleinitz died on April 8, 1666 in Zeitz at the age of 67. He was buried on May 20th in the castle church there.

The Fruchtbringende Gesellschaft records Schleinitz in its Köthener society book under no. 169 with his company name der openingende . As a motto he was given the throat and as an emblem wild poppies or rattle roses ( Papaver rhoeas L. ). On the occasion of his entry into the Fruitful Society, Schleinitz also wrote a rhyme law.
