Family coat of arms

Johann Baptist Bartholotti von Partenfeld (* July 27, 1701 , in Vienna ; † November 24, 1745 in Mannheim ) was an imperial count , officer in the Imperial Army and court chamber councilor .

Origin and family

He came from the Italian-Austrian noble family Bartholotti and was the son of Johann Baptist Bartholotti von Partenfeld, the elder († 1741) and his wife Maria Regina nee. von Waffenberg. The father held the office of Obersalzamtmann of Lower Austria , based in Vienna . He owned the Bartolotti-Partenfeld palace in the city and financed the renovation of the Ruprechtskirche next to the Salt Office from 1701 to 1703 , which is why he received a memorial inscription there. With the collapse of the Hauzenberger banking house in Vienna, the father lost most of his property in 1736.

Live and act

The son became a soldier, but according to various sources he also held the position of salt minister. Since 1734 he was married to the very wealthy Baroness Elisabeth Katharina geb. von Meskó, daughter of Adam Meskó von Széplak and Enyiczke. In 1741, on the occasion of Maria Theresa's coronation, she lent Hungary 100,000 guilders for the coronation gift. Mainly with the money his wife made Johann Baptist Bartholotti of Partenfeld in the War of Austrian Succession , a hussar - Free Corps on. On November 9, 1742 he fought with it at Ried against Bavarian troops under General Claude-Louis de Saint-Germain , where he was defeated and suffered heavy losses.

Garrison church Mannheim, place of burial

He later took part in the fighting on the Main and Rhine with his corps . When the supreme command of the Pandours , Baron Johann Daniel von Menzel , fell on June 25, 1744 on the Rhine island near Kühkopf near Stockstadt , Johann Baptist Bartholotti von Partenfeld took over his position as colonel on September 9 of that year and added three of his own hussars to the troops Companies . The unit was now called the "Bartolotti Hussar Regiment" (dissolved in 1746) and was later absorbed partly in the Austro-Hungarian Hussar Regiment No. 8 and partly in the Hussar Regiment No. 4 .

In autumn 1745 he fell ill in his quarters in Lampertheim and was then taken to Mannheim , the capital of the Electoral Palatinate . There he died on November 24th, 1745. According to the large, complete Universal Lexicon of all Sciences and Arts (3rd Supplementary Volume, 1752), he was buried in the garrison church of Mannheim with “a lot of pomp” . This church was demolished in 1780–1782 and its crypt with four traditional burials was forgotten. When an underground car park was being built in front of the Mannheim armory in 1979, it was found again and the remains of four people were found, including those of Johann Baptist Bartholotti von Partenfeld.
