Life
Johann Adolph von Loß was the second son of the Saxon-Weissenfels Prime Minister Johann Caspar von Loß († 1711) and came out of his marriage to Magdalena Sophia born von Ende from the Ehrenberg family; his brother was the future cabinet minister Christian von Loss . As early as 1718, at the age of 28, he became a privy councilor at the court in Merseburg and in 1729 head stable master. From 1733 to 1738 Johann Adolph Graf von Loß was envoy in London , England , then in Munich in Bavaria and finally in Paris . In Versailles he ensured closer ties between the Elector of Saxony and France and was one of the signatories of the secret subsidy contract of April 21, 1746. From that year he was active again in Saxony, where he was awarded the title of cabinet minister.
As early as November 21, 1732, Johann Adolph von Loß, who was then a real secret councilor and head stable master, had already received entitlement to the Kannewurffische Rittergut Niederbeuna in the Merseburg Monastery, which after his death from Elector Friedrich August II of Saxony in 1740 has been confirmed. When the last owner of the Niederbeuna manor, the Saxon-Weissenfels Chamber Councilor Hans Heinrich von Kannewurff, died on October 30, 1748 without male heirs, he actually received his manor and was enfeoffed by the Dresden feudal estate together with his heirs.
In 1741 he was elevated to the rank of imperial count along with his younger brother, the senior consistorial president Christian von Loß , due to his political merits during the imperial vicariate .
On May 13, 1751, Count von Loß Niederbeuna in Leipzig sold on to Carl Gottlob von Ende auf Keymberg, kp.-ks. Consistorial director of Leipzig, also court and judicial councilor of the Merseburg foundation and assessor of the upper court.
