Life

Johann Adolph (II.) Von Kielmansegg was the youngest son of Johann Adolph Kielmann von Kielmannsegg and Margarete von Hatten (* August 25, 1617, † December 12, 1656). Together with his brothers Hans Heinrich and Friedrich Christian , he enrolled at the University of Rostock in the summer semester of 1651 . On August 20, 1655 he received a preamble in the Lübeck cathedral chapter , which had become vacant through the election of Duke Christian Albrecht as coadjutor .

The position of his father with the duke also earned his sons high offices in the ducal administration. In 1670 Johann Adolph Staller (ducal governor) of Eiderstedt and in 1674 ducal-Gottorfischer Ober-Hofmarschall.

When Christian V of Denmark took office in 1671, the relationship between the Gottorf Duchy and Denmark tightened . In order to defend against the overreaching in the dispute over the county of Oldenburg , his father Johann Adolph Kielman resumed negotiations with Sweden, from which he and the duke hoped for sovereignty for the small duchy. In 1675 Christian V lured Duke Christian Albrecht, Kielman and his sons to Rendsburg with an offer to negotiate Kielman's proposal to give the Duke the office of Tondern as compensation for Oldenburg . There he forced the Duke to go to the Rendsburg Recess of July 10, 1675, in which the small Gottorf state had to renounce its sovereignty and all foreign alliances. Kielmann had to undertake not to leave the country. He and his three sons were captured by the Danes at Gut Quarnbek , the residence of brother Hans Heinrich, and imprisoned in Korsør and later in the Citadel of Copenhagen. Only after the death of their father were the sons released on March 29, 1677 in exchange for a ransom of 100,000 Reichstalers . They had to swear that they would never again act contrary to Danish interests.

After their release, the Kielman sons went to see Duke Christian Albrecht, who had gone into exile in Hamburg , and received their offices back from him. But they soon fell out of favor because they were suspected of embezzlement. Johann Adolph entered the imperial service as a councilor. On May 8, 1679, he and his brothers were raised to the status of imperial baron.

He supported the arts in Hamburg and in 1687 was the recipient of Johann Adam Reincken's Hortus Musicus .

In the election of bishops after the death of Prince-Bishop August Friedrich von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf in 1705, which was accompanied by a military conflict and at Christmas 1705 by the siege and occupation of Eutin Castle by the Danes, the Kielmansegg brothers belonged to the ultimately defeated party in the Chapter that supported the Danish coadjutor , Prince Carl of Denmark (born October 26, 1680 - † August 8, 1729), a younger brother of the Danish King Frederick IV . However, through diplomatic intervention by the English Queen Anne and the States General and after the assurance of a pension, the latter was forced to give up his claim, so that Christian August von Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf, the candidate of the Godfathers and Sweden- allied party , could succeed. The dispute was finally settled only after the conclusion of the Altranstädter Convention , when Christian August was enfeoffed with the Lübeck Monastery by the Emperor in 1709 .

Johann Adolph (II.) Von Kielmansegg, who with Marie Elisabeth, geb. von Osterhausen (1645–1716) was married, died without descendants and was buried in the family's hereditary funeral, the Kielmannsegg Chapel in the Hamburg Cathedral , which was demolished in 1805 . Christian August von Negendank († 1717) received his canon prebende from Lübeck .

On the collective grave slab of the Ohlsdorf cemetery , the cathedral chapter and nobility of the Althamburg Memorial Cemetery commemorates Johann Adolph von Kielmansegg, among others.
