Wietersheim was the son of the Holstein-Schaumburg Chancellor Anton (I) von Wietersheim and his wife Margarethe Langermann. Ludwig von Wietersheim , Anton (II.) Von Wietersheim , Ernst von Wietersheim and Gabriel von Wietersheim were his brothers.
Wietersheim enrolled at the University of Marburg on April 2, 1600 . Further stations were the universities in Leiden (1604) and Padua (1606).
On 10 April 1606 Wietersheim became a canonry of the cathedral to Hamburg as a sinecure transmitted. 1611 he was selected by Duke Heinrich Julius of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel to counsel appointed. When his son Christian von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel was appointed bishop in Halberstadt , Wietersheim made himself indispensable in the planning and implementation of the celebrations. For this he was then appointed court master and chamber councilor, while his younger brother Anton (II.) Von Wietersheim became chancellor of the Halberstadt monastery.
In 1622 he was appointed Rittmeister. In the following year Wietersheim took on the office of Halberstädter Stiftshauptmann and at the same time was also appointed official governor of Gatersleben near Quedlinburg. As a special honor, he was even assigned an apartment in the castle.
From 1630 to 1637 he acted as the secret councilor and court master of the Quedlinburg abbess, Duchess Dorothea Sophie von Sachsen-Altenburg .
In 1609 he married Elisabeth von der Lippe. Heinrich Meibom wrote a congratulatory letter on this occasion. When she died on May 8, 1633, he entered into a second marriage with Agnes Margarethe von Stammer on February 20, 1634 . His second wife died on March 31, 1641. Here, too, Wietersheim observed a short year of mourning, before marrying Maria Susanne von Bila in March 1642.
Like three of his brothers, Wietersheim was accepted into the Fruitful Society by Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen in 1635 . He gave him the company name of the departing and the motto the tooth flows . The snake root ( Polygonum bistorta L. ) was given to him as an emblem . Wietersheim's entry can be found in the Köthen Society Book of the Fruit-Bringing Society under No. 266. There, the rhyme law is also noted, with which he thanks for the recording:
- The natterwurtzel is accustomed to pull the
tufts out, what is superfluous that one may flee boldly,
because it doesn’t bring pious things ; Pulling me out.
Got me in this crowd. This herb is also known and
of the best, which is used and moisturized
, and used at all times.
Who can pull out of the sattans?
The snake rescuer who kills and surpasses him.
Heinrich Julius von Wietersheim died at the age of 61 on October 10, 1645 in Opperode, near Ballenstedt.
