Life

The son of Worms councilor Matthias Reinhard enrolled at the law faculty of the University of Erfurt in 1513 , advanced to master's degree and then to lawyer. In 1520 he was appointed secretary of the court chancellery of Duke Erich I of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in Münden , and in 1529 he was appointed ducal chancellor of the Principality of Calenberg . In 1532 Duke Erich sent him as his envoy to the Reichstag in Regensburg , together with Hereditary Marshal Hermann von Oldershausen .

Duke Erich I. to Calenberg-Göttingen had his chancellor in 1540 with the former castle seat of the counts of Hallermund in Eldagsen mortgaged . After the Duke's death in 1540, the Chancellor, together with his widow Elisabeth von Brandenburg and the Hessian Landgrave Philip I, became the guardian of the then underage son Erich II (* 1528) according to Erich's will .

. Duke Erich II confirmed his former guardian, the fief to Eldagsen in 1555 and expanded this - after Jakob Reinhard's single, son of the same (* around 1543) had died without a male heir - in 1564 on Reinhard's daughter with the United Vogt Konrad Wedemeyer married as well as their male offspring.

Until 1550, the doctorate in law was in office as chancellor, but also "afterwards still served as former chancellor, for example in 1562 and 1566". From 1551 until his death in 1569 he appears in documents as " Privy Councilor from the House" and " Herr auf Linse" , ennobled as Reinharter von Reinhardessen , after the knightly knightly noble family of Reinhardessen from Lower Saxony .
