Heidenreich von Boyneburg
Heidenreich von Boyneburg (born December 18, 1549 in Homberg (Ohm) ; † September 7, 1612 ) was a Hessian nobleman who, after being exiled from the Landgraviate of Hesse-Kassel, entered the Holstein service and became a secret councilor and court marshal .
Heidenreich (also Heiderich) came from the noble family of Boyneburg zu Lengsfeld and was a grandson of the Hessian guardianship regent, court judge and governor on the Lahn Ludwig I. von Boyneburg zu Lengsfeld (1466-1537). His father was Ludwig's son from his second marriage to Elisabeth von Meysenbug , Ludwig III. of Boyneburg-Lengsfeld († 1568), landgräflicher bailiff in Homberg at the Ohm and Borken , who in 1537 as a two-year-old with the Altenburg at Felsberg in today Schwalm-Eder-Kreis invested , but never lived was there myself.
Heidenreich became court squire and councilor at the court of Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse-Kassel and after the death of his father became the owner of the Altenburg and the associated estates in the Felsberg area .
On August 20, 1592, during a drinking bout in Kassel, a heated argument broke out between him and his friend, court squire Friedrich von Baumbach , in the course of which Heidenreich stabbed his friend, probably unintentionally, with his rapier . Since the families of the two compared to the fact that Friedrich ran into Heidenreich's weapon drawn in defense, Heidenreich escaped the death penalty . He was sentenced to two years imprisonment for manslaughter and banished from Hessen-Kassel in 1594 after serving . He sold the Altenburg and its goods there to his younger brother Urban .
He went to the Duchy of Holstein, where he became a Privy Councilor and Court Marshal. Through his marriage to Ide von Buchwaldt († 1640), a daughter of the Holstein-Danish landowner and Colonel Heinrich von Buchwaldt (~ 1556–16716), he acquired Osterrade and Blockshagen near Rendsburg . He died in September 1612 on his Osterrade estate.
