Life

Jobst Moritz (also Mauritz ) was born in February 1666 at Schloss Senden in the Münsterland as the son of Jobst Mauritz Droste zu Senden and Anna-Petronella Raitz von Frentz . He had four older brothers: Jobst Adolf (1655–1711), Johann Bernhard , who held a canon praisee in Speyer , Arnold Wilhelm, who entered the Varlar monastery near Coesfeld as a premonstratensian , and Friedrich Adrian, who was a canon canon in Fritzlar . He also had three sisters. The parental inheritance was settled in 1681, at a time when Jobst Moritz was still a minor and not provided for. In 1683 Jobst Moritz himself was provided with a canon praisee in Speyer. However, Jobst Moritz decided to join the Teutonic Order, into which he was accepted on March 1, 1695. Shortly afterwards, he and his eldest brother Jobst Adolf on Senden litigated for his inheritance quota. The dispute lasted until the 1730s. After his novitiate he did various military services, including as a cavalry captain in the Electorate of Cologne , as a captain in the Obrist-Raesfeldt Regiment (1698) and as a major in the Electoral Palatinate body regiment (1702). He was the 1699 Coming Waldbreitbach transmitted. Later, the Kommende Rheinberg and finally the Kommende St. Katharina in Cologne , which he held until his death. From 1716 he was provincial commander of the Koblenz Chamber Ballei, which he directed until his death in 1754. His grave is in Elsen .

coat of arms

Coat of arms above the Vogtstür in St. Stephanus Elsen

During his tenure as Commander, Jobst Moritz had his coat of arms affixed to numerous possessions of the Teutonic Order in his Ballei. This is still available today, for example, at the Johannes von Nepomuk Chapel in Fettehenne or above the former Vogtstür in the parish church of St. Stephanus Elsen. In Elsen today the coat of arms is incorrectly referred to as the Elsen coat of arms .

The coat of arms shows two lions with many flourishes, which carry an oval heraldic shield. The coat of arms is divided into four fields. Field 1 (top left) and field 4 (bottom right) show the German Order Cross, while fields 2 and 3 show a small coat of arms in white on a red background.
