Jakob von Tullian (* presumably 1672 in Großostheim ; † March 13, 1729 in Dirmstein ) was a German nobleman and high administrative officer of the secular government in the bishopric of Worms .

Live and act

According to the inscription on his gravestone preserved in Dirmstein, Jakob von Tullian came from Großostheim. There was a Johann Jakob von Tullian († 1661) who was the grandfather of Dirmsteiner Tullian. This ancestor served as a Bavarian lieutenant colonel in the Thirty Years' War , successfully defended the Friedberg Fortress (Hesse) in 1645, and from 1654 worked as Kurmainzer bailiff of the Bachgau in Großostheim.

Jakob von Tullian acted as the prince-bishop bailiff of the Dirmstein office , one of the few secular territories of the old prince-bishopric of Worms . It comprised the Palatinate towns of Dirmstein, Beindersheim , Laumersheim , Neuleiningen and Hettenleidelheim , all of which have taken over the key or crosses of the Worms diocese coat of arms in their current municipal coat of arms to commemorate the former common rule.

The bailiff resided in Dirmstein, which village formed a condominium with the Electoral Palatinate until 1705 , which was dissolved in that year in favor of the Principality of Worms. At the time of his death, Jakob von Tullian was the only bailiff residing in Dirmstein and had sole jurisdiction. His office was in the episcopal castle of the village.

According to the funerary inscription, the bailiff Jakob von Tullian was of "distinguished and famous" descent and in 1729, at the time of his death, was 56 years old. According to the Dirmstein Catholic church book, his surviving wife was called Katharina. Together they had three children baptized in Dirmstein: Anna Martha von Tullian (born May 19, 1721), Johann Christoph Joseph Severius von Tullian (October 25, 1722 - January 27, 1723) and Sophia von Tullian (born March 13, 1725). The double-headed eagle shield of the family coat of arms is similar to the city coat of arms of Friedberg (Hessen) and could have been included in the family coat of arms due to the activity of the ancestor as commander and defender of the city. The shamrock in the bird's beak comes from the family coat of arms of the Clebiz von Nalsbach family, which was once important in Großostheim, and has also been included in the local coat of arms of the Lower Franconian market.

The tombstone is currently attached to the wall surrounding the new Dirmstein cemetery . It seems to have moved from the old cemetery (near the episcopal castle) to its present location at a time that is not exactly known .

Jakob von Tullian represented his sovereign, the important Bishop of Worms, Franz Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg , brother of the Palatinate Elector Johann Wilhelm , as well as the pious Empress Eleonore Magdalene .
