Johann Friedrich (Pfalz-Hilpoltstein)
Johann Friedrich von Pfalz-Neuburg (born August 23, 1587 in Neuburg an der Donau , † October 19, 1644 in Hilpoltstein ) was Count Palatine and Duke of Palatinate-Hilpoltstein from the Wittelsbach branch of Palatinate-Neuburg .
Life
Johann Friedrich was the youngest son of Duke Philipp Ludwig von Pfalz-Neuburg (1547–1614) from his marriage to Anna (1552–1632), daughter of Duke Wilhelm V von Jülich-Kleve-Berg . After the death of his father in 1614, his eldest brother Wolfgang Wilhelm Hilpoltstein, Heideck and Allersberg had to leave him as a deputate . His other brother August received Sulzbach . The sovereignty remained, however, reserved for the Neuburg prince. This led the Counter-Reformation in all parts of the country, amid violent protests from Johann Friedrichby. Like his brother August, Johann Friedrich remained a Lutheran and was granted the right to a house worship service by Wolfgang Wilhelm.
Johann Friedrich resided in Hilpoltstein from 1619 and married Sophie Agnes (1604–1664), daughter of Landgrave Ludwig V of Hesse-Darmstadt, in Darmstadt in 1624 . None of his eight children were older than three years. He died without an heir in 1644 and Hilpoltstein fell back to Pfalz-Neuburg. Johann Friedrich is buried in the parish church of St. Martin in Lauingen an der Donau .
