Jobst Hinrich von Bülow

Jobst Heinrich von Bülow , also Jobst Hinrich von Bülow , (* 1683 , ≈ December 15, 1683 in Borkow ; † June 17, 1762 in Woserin ) belonged to the leaders of the knighthood as early as 1717, was provisional from 1721 to 1755, and until 1762 monastery captain to Dobbertin .

Life

Nothing is known about his youth. At the age of thirty, known as the “captain”, the knight and landscape elected him to represent them in “important negotiations” with the princely commissioners. His steadfast demeanor during the Mecklenburg dispute between the estates earned him prestige and contemporary prominence. During Duke Carl Leopold's disputes with the city of Rostock and the estates, he had taken 8,000 men, some of them Russian regiments, under pay, which was an enormous number by Mecklenburg standards. The country should bear the costs for this. After Rostock finally had to bow to the ducal pressure, the duke dispatched troops to numerous estates in 1718 in order to induce their owners to renounce the select committee that had fled to Ratzeburg . A refusal led to the confiscation of the property. Bülow refused to take the prepared oath as well as to pay the required contributions. Despite the resistance of the local farmers and the pastor, who hurried to help Bülow, the property was then confiscated and Bülow and his wife were arrested without any food being provided. The confiscation did not end until February 1719, when imperial execution troops ended the Duke's coercive measures.

Around 1696 the von Bülow family bought the village of Woserin from Balthasar von Moltke . Jobst Hinrich von Bülow was very active in state affairs. In 1721 Bülow became provisional officer of the Dobbertin monastery. From 1744 to 1746 he was acting as head of the administration of the monastery office. In 1755 he was elected monastery captain. During his tenure, the baroque office building was built from 1756–1757 and from 1746 to 1749 he had the nuns' gallery in the monastery church restored.

In 1738 a strange thing happened that caused a sensation in Mecklenburg, because in the Dobbertin monastery a messy election of priests resulted in electoral fraud. The ladies of the monastery had proposed Christian Hintzmann as the new pastor, but the provisional Jobst Hinrich von Bülow wanted the Magister Carl Christian Behm as pastor. So he simply had 15 votes recorded on the election record on the pretext that they had given him the power of attorney . Despite violent protests from the nuns, it would be another four years before the pastor of their choice could take office.

At that time, a large glassworks was built on the Woseriner-Borkow border, in which master glassworker Christian Friedrich von Gundlach was allowed to make coarse glass. After differences of opinion and demands for money, von Bülow had glass burning forbidden in 1730 and the glass brought to his farm with almost 100 armed Dobbertiner and Woseriner people. Von Bülow disregarded Duke Karl Leopold's order to return the glass and the 1000 Taler fine for violent acts committed in the open . Jobst Hinrich felt very attached to the Dobbertiner villagers. He was a member of the Dobbertiner rifle guild, in 1751 and 1760 even the rifle king and donated the silver king's chain with a shield on which his name with coat of arms and the names of the rifle kings with the year were engraved. His portrait hung in the convent hall of the Dominahaus in the Dobbertin monastery until 1945.

When Mecklenburg was occupied by Prussian hussars during the Seven Years' War , Bülow was briefly captured when they withdrew and, at the age of seventy-six, was taken from Dobbertin to Güstrow on foot with a rope tied to a horse. He did not recover from this ordeal, but died on June 12, 1762 after a prolonged illness.

In 1755 he was a co-signatory of the Land Constitutional Constitutional Comparison .

His first marriage was to Anna Catharina Buchwald (formerly Güldeland in Jutland), who remained childless. She died on August 30, 1750. Given his extensive economic circumstances , he soon needed a housewife again. Sixty-seven-year-old Jobst Hinrich got engaged to Magdalene Ilsabe from Dessin from Wamckow, who was only twenty-five at the time, in the autumn of the same year . The wedding took place in silence in the week before Christmas 1750. Eight children (six sons and two daughters) were born in their twelve-year marriage. His fortune was almost completely shattered by the high Prussian contributions. After his death, the widow, as guardian of her children, sold the estate in Borkow to the stable master von Seitz auf Below and in 1763 pledged the estate Woserin to District Administrator Friedrich von Pritzbuer auf Gramzow for 20 years for 56,000 Rthlr . It was not redeemed. The Grambow estate, which Sibilla Sophia von Uchteritz , widow of the Saxon Rittmeister Nicolaus Christian von Weltzien and their son Christian Hinrich, negotiated on Benthen in 1733 was sold to Captain Joachim Ulrich von Bülow ad H. Scharfsdorf a few years later. Jobst Hinrich's widow Maria Magdalena moved to Güstrow with her eight underage children. The economic hardship forced the mother to let her sons go to Mecklenburg, Hanover and Prussian military services at an early age.
