Political and military offices
Jobst Hermann entered the military service of his sovereign and quickly advanced to the rank of lieutenant general . He also became President of the War Chancellery and thus the function of Minister of War , initially without a ministerial title. He was later awarded the title of Minister of State and a Real Privy Councilor . Since his sovereign, Elector George I, was mostly abroad because of his position as King of England at the same time , he was often left to his own devices and was more or less free to control and exercise.
