Life

Johann Adam, Count of Lamberg, Baron on Ortenegg and Ottenstein , came from the older princely line of the Lamberg family . He was the eleventh child and the second son of Count Franz Joseph von Lamberg -Steyr (1637–1712) from his marriage to Anna Maria Countess Trautmannsdorf-Weinsberg (1642–1727), a daughter of the Bohemian governor Adam Matthias von Trauttmansdorff (1617– 1684). His brothers were the princes Leopold Matthias von Lamberg (1667–1711) and Franz Anton von Lamberg (1678–1759), the Cardinal Joseph Dominikus von Lamberg (1680–1761), his suffragan bishop Franz Alois von Lamberg (1692–1732), as well Counts Johann Philipp von Lamberg (1684–1735) and Johann Ferdinand von Lamberg (1689–1764).

Since he was the second son and the rule of Steyr was intended for his older brother Leopold Matthias, his uncle, the Passau prince-bishop Johann Philipp von Lamberg (1651–1712), took over his equipment, brought him to his court in Passau, took him on as a child Instead of and determined him for the Fideikommiss Kitzbühel acquired in 1696 from a distant relative, Johann Raimund von Lamberg .

Count Hans Adam fell in love with Antonie, eldest daughter of Prince Anton von Liechtenstein , who did not tolerate the connection, probably because of Lamberg's insufficient possessions. Count Hans Adam, with their cooperation, kidnapped his bride in the spring of 1702 from his parents' house in Vienna or, according to other information, from the Church of the Holy Cross. The couple married on the run and hid in Kitzbühel. At the end of September 1702 they came to Lamberg Castle in Steyr , where Hans Adam looked to his father for marriage property, a morning gift and a widow's residence for his wife. In October 1702, at the instigation of Prince Liechtenstein, Count Hans Adam was dismissed from his post as District Administrator and Landjägermeister and imprisoned in Graz in November . His wife Antonie was initially housed in the Cölestinerinnenkloster in Steyr, then in the Ursuline convent in Innsbruck. After half a year, at the end of April 1703, both were pardoned. Since Prince Liechtenstein did not allow himself to be softened despite the efforts of Cardinal Johann Philipp and even the Emperor, the matter came to an end with Hans Adam's untimely death in January 1708. The widow married Count Ehrgott Maximilian von Kuefstein (1676–1728), with whom she had four children. She died on December 19, 1715.
