Hieronymus von Dieskau (* 1565 ; † July 12, 1625 in Berlin ) was a Privy Councilor and envoy from the Kurbrandenburg .

Life

Hieronymus was a member of the Saxon noble family von Dieskau . His parents are said to have been the Magdeburg councilor Hieronymus von Dieskau (1501–1567) and Christina Pflug from the Knauthain family († 1595), according to Erf and Gruber . However, you assign the dates of life 1537 to May 26, 1636 to the father. A Hieronymus von Dieskau, who died on May 26, 1636, was born after Dreyhaupt in 1573, a grandson of the aforementioned couple, wealthy on Lochau and a Pfänner in Halle . It remains unclear whether this was the same Hieronymus von Dieskau, who is buried in Halle Cathedral, but died on May 20, 1636 and calculated to be born in 1574.

Otto von Dieskau (on Knauthain since 1591) was his brother.

Hieronymus, who, after Dreyhaupt, had the parents named byesch and Gruber, married Anna Pflug, daughter of the governor of Quedlinburg and heir to Kottwitz, Hieronymus Pflug († 1586). The marriage resulted in six children, of which the sons Hans († 1680), Captain on Giebichenstein and Hieronymus on Queis and Benndorf (1591–1641) continued the lineage .

He was the heir to Dieskau , Canena, Benndorf and Queis. In 1595 he also bought the Klepzig manor from Heinrich von Bissing . He brought the construction of Dieskau Castle , which his father had started, to an end, and in 1622 initiated the partial renovation and new construction.

As Elector Joachim Friedrich von Brandenburg (1546-1608) he was accepted as a Privy Councilor of Brandenburg in the newly created State Council in 1604, which initially consisted of nine councilors . As such, he also served under the successors Johann Sigismund von Brandenburg (1572–1619) and Georg Wilhelm von Brandenburg (1595–1640). Because of his origins in the Electorate of Saxony , the goods located there and the associated vassals , he was excluded from all matters and embassies that turned against the House of Wettin , which ruled in Electoral Saxony . In 1608 he was posted to The Hague , where he met with envoys from the Electoral Palatinate and the Kingdom of Denmark and Sweden.
