Heinrich von Fahrensbach

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich von Fahrensbach († around 1627 ) was a district administrator in Estonia .

Life

Heinrich von Fahrensbach came from the German-Baltic Fahrensbach family . His father was Heinrich von Fahrensbach zu Pedua , Newe and Waddemois .

Heinrich was lord of Pedua in 1586 and lord of Waddemois until 1620. In 1626 he was a member of a commission set up by Gustav Adolf to investigate the rights of Livonian noblemen to their estates . 1616–1627 Heinrich von Fahrensbach was the first district administrator in Estonia to be elected in the Wiek . Until then, the twelve Estonian district administrators were each made up of six from Harrien and Wierland . Heinrich was married three times, first with one von Taube , then with one von Tiesenhausen , and finally with Agneta von Hastfer .

He had at least two daughters, as well as a son Reinhold, who still owned the Pedua estate in 1666, but with whom this Fahrbach family also went out after 200 years of existence.

Whether he is to be equated with Heinrich (Winrich) von Fahrensbach, Ritter und Herr auf Walck , who was married to Anna von Taube adH Maydel and also lived in the late 16th century, or if he is a cousin, needs to be clarified .
