Johann Heinrich Stamler

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Heinrich von Stamler (born October 22, 1632 or October 22, 1634 in Aurich ; † December 13, 1692 ) was East Frisian Chancellor. He had a strictly monarchical disposition and tried to strengthen the count's side in the constant dispute between the Counts of East Friesland and the estates .

ancestors

His family originally came from Augsburg . His father was already resident in East Friesland, it was the court judge Edzard Stamler (1590-1652). His uncle was Adolph Leonhardus Stamler (* 1600; † August 16, 1651), bailiff of Friedeburg . His wife was Atlica Wiarda (* 1610 ;? ); Daughter of the Chancellor Dothias Wiarda (1565–1637).

Life

Stamler was born in Aurich, the residence of the East Frisian princes, and probably went to school here. In 1652 he went to Giessen to study law . There he was noticed by the Chancellor6 of the University of Justus Sinolt, called Schütz . Who took him into the circle of his students and his family. He received his doctorate in May 1657 with the sensational script: De reservatis imperatoris Romano-Germanici . There he stood up for a strong imperial central power. With this he also stood in opposition to Bogislaw Philipp von Chemnitz who had published the influential dissertation Dissertatio de ratione status in imperio nostro Romano-Germanico under the name Hippolithus a Lapide . This saw the estates as a central organ.

After his return to Aurich in 1663, he became a councilor under Prince Georg Christian (1634–1665). After Georg Christian's early death, his wife Christine Charlotte took over power for their son Christian Eberhard . This is how Stamler became one of the most influential advisors. As early as 1668 the estates demanded his removal. In 1679 he was appointed Privy Councilor and Vice Chancellor, later Chancellor and thus head of the Count's politics. There were turbulent times in the dispute between the estates and the counts, and foreign powers were repeatedly called. The Dutch were stationed in Emden and Leerort , the Prussians in Greetsiel and Emden, in 1663 troops from Münsterland occupied the Hampoeler and Dieler Schanze , but were driven out again by the Dutch.

In 1677 Stamler was the Countess's representative in negotiations in Bremen . The emperor had sent Count von Windisch-Graetz to mediate. In 1678 Stamler negotiated the withdrawal of the Münsterland troops in Rheine . When the Princess went to Vienna in 1686, Stamler was also with the delegation. There he was raised to the nobility on September 28, 1686 as a nobleman by Stamler .

In the following years the dispute between the estates and the Princely House of East Friesland came to a head, and the Elector of Brandenburg was unable to calm the situation. The Chancellor died on December 13, 1692. His death and the resignation of the Countess gave the new Count Christian Eberhard the opportunity to quickly come to a compromise with the estates.

In 1690 Stamler received the stamp estate as a fief. After his death, his son was enfeoffed with it in 1694. Since he only had daughters, it fell back to the counts as a husband fief in 1704.

family

On April 22, 1658, Stamler married Eva Catharina Maria Sinolt . The daughter of Justus Sinold called Schütz (1592–1657). The Braunschweig-Lüneburg chancellor Johann Helwig von Sinold was his wife's brother. His son Edzard Jost von Stamler (March 28, 1672 to October 30, 1704) was the count's court master and married to the lady-in-waiting Hedwig Dorothea von Gustedt (September 12, 1671 to October 21, 1738).
