Joachim Ulrich von Neuhaus

Joachim Ulrich von Neuhaus (also Joachim Ulrich von Hradec ; Czech Jáchym Oldřich z Hradce ; born January 24, 1579 , † January 23, 1604 in Neuhaus ) was burgrave of Karlstein since 1602 . He was the last male descendant of the von Neuhaus family and came from the Telscher line.

Life

His parents were Adam II von Neuhaus and Katharina von Montfort († 1631). Since his older brother Wilhelm Zacharias died in 1589 at the age of 14, Joachim Ulrich was the only male descendant of his father and the last in the male line of the Lords of Neuhaus. He suffered from health problems, which is why he was buried by his uncle on December 17, 1596 with the corpse of his son Wilhelm Zacharias, who had died in 1589, and his daughter Katharina, who had died twelve days earlier, at the funeral of his father Peter Wok had to be represented by Rosenberg . It may have played a role that Joachim Ulrich was not able to speak Czech, as he was mainly brought up by his German mother. After the father's death, the guardianship of Joachim Ulrich and his younger sister Lucie Otilie was initially transferred to Peter Wok von Rosenberg.

After reaching the age of majority, Joachim Ulrich took over the reign and administration of the inherited estates, which were heavily indebted. Therefore, in 1597 he sold his lordship of Polná with Přibyslav to his greatest creditor Hertwig Seidlitz von Schönfeld ( Hertvík Zejdlic ze Šenfeldu ) and a year later the castle and lordship of Hluboká to his creditor Bohuslav Malovec von Malovic . In addition, the Košíře and Butovice farms near Prague were sold, from which the Prague family palace had been supplied economically. As a reward for his loyal service and with the intercession of Peter Wok von Rosenberg, he sold the Protivín estate to his Neuhaus dominion administrator Georg Wratislaw von Mitrowitz ( Jiří Vratislav z Mitrovic ). Through the sales, the economic consolidation and the family ancestors Neuhaus and Teltsch as well as Žirovnice ( Schelletau ), Stráž and the Prague Palace could be preserved.

After Joachim Ulrich's childless death in 1604, the estate was inherited by his sister Lucie Otilie, who had been married to Wilhelm Slavata since 1602 . As early as 1602 (presumably as a wedding present), he was given the Stráž rule. In the same year he bought the Prague palace from Joachim Ulrich. The possessions inherited from his wife Lucie Otilie only legally came to Wilhelm Slavata after her death in 1633.

family

Joachim Ulrich married 15-year-old Marie Maximiliane, daughter of Count Karl II of Hohenzollern-Sigmaringen , on January 25, 1598 . The marriage remained childless. After Joachim Ulrich's death, his widow Maria Maximiliane married Adam II von Sternberg († 1623), whom she survived by 27 years. She died on September 11, 1649.
