Life

origin

Epitaph at the envoys cemetery in Regensburg

Joachim Ludwig was a member of the originally Lower Austrian noble family von Strein , who were expelled because of the Protestant faith and settled in Hessen-Darmstadt. His parents were the Hessian-Darmstadt Chancellor Kilian Schwarzenau (1687–1764) and Catharina Sibylla nee. Brawe (1691-1722).

family

He married Eberhardine von der Streithorst (1726-1805) in 1750. According to the clearly legible German inscription on the inscription tablet of his epitaph, the marriage resulted in 13 children, six of whom survived him, including three daughters and three sons, among them the canoness in St. Walburgis zu Soest , Auguste Johanne Luise Freiin von Schwarzenau (1750–1827), the Hessian envoy Carl Ludwig Friedrich Freiherr von Schwarzenau (1751–1820) and the Prussian Colonel Friedrich Freiherr von Schwarzenau (1761–1826).

The funeral procession at the funeral of Joachim Ludwig von Schwarzenau with several carriages and officials led through several streets in the city center. After the envoy's death, his wife remained in Regensburg and was buried in her husband's grave after her death. The grave with an epithaph tablet embedded in the wall with a German inscription that is still legible is located in the ambassadorial cemetery near the Trinity Church in Regensburg.
