Heinrich Ludwig von Brühl

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Ludwig Graf von Brühl (* December 7, 1768 , † October 20, 1833 in Plauen ) was initially an electoral Saxon , from 1806 royal Saxon chamber councilor in the Merseburg monastery and manor owner .

Life

He was the son of Heinrich Adolph Graf von Brühl (1744–1778) and his wife Sophia Louisa born. von Kalitsch (* 1742).

Like many of his family members, he embarked on an administrative career. He studied from October 1786 at the University of Leipzig and then rose to the electoral chamber council in the Merseburg bishopric and worked in the chamber college in Merseburg , which was under the direction of Johann Jacob Graf von Hohenthal. After the electoral prince of Saxony was raised to the rank of king in 1806, Heinrich Ludwig Count von Brühl became a member of the royal Saxon chamber council. It is also recorded as such in the 1828 edition of the Royal Saxon Court Calendar.

In the early romantic era he was interested in acquiring the ruins of the Rudelsburg castle, which was romantically situated on the Saale and to which the Kreipitzsch manor belonged as a farm yard . In Merseburg , Count Brühl bought these two goods from the owner Bernhard August Ludwig Count von Zech on May 4, 1796. Due to the failure to separate the feudal and allodisl pieces, which the heirs of the previous owners claimed, he had little pleasure in acquiring this property, so that he felt compelled to sell it to Ferdinand Ludwig Christian von Schönberg a year later .

family

Heinrich Ludwig Graf von Brühl was married to Amalia Wilhelmina Elisabeth née von Götzen (* 1772). The marriage had four children.

  • Wilhelmine Countess von Brühl (1797–1872), canon at Wallenstein Abbey
