Johann III. from Fahrensbach

Johann III. von Fahrensbach (Varensbeke) († after 1557 ) was canon of the church of Ösel , captain in Estonia and lord of Udenküll .

family

Johann von Fahrensbach came from the German-Baltic Fahrensbach family . His parents were Dietrich II von Fahrensbach and Magdalena von Dücker . From a connection with Gerdruth von Vietinghoff he had a son of the same name, Johann, and three daughters.

Life

Johann started a spiritual career first. In 1499 he was still matriculated in Rostock as Johannes Varensbeke from Revalia , and in the same year he secured three new settlers at Willofer . At that time he was the administrator of the church patronage Purge. From 1526 to 1535 he was named canon of the church of Ösel and was owner of the prebende Heimar . With the introduction of the Reformation and the dissolution of the diocese, he secularized .

From February 1530 to February 1534 he was named as captain of Hapsal , otherwise as Wiekscher knight captain . As such, he was on the side of Wilhelm's Margrave of Brandenburg in the Bishops' dispute in Oesel . In October 1533 he was sent to Leal by the margrave with 80 men during the armistice with Bishop Reinhold von Buxhoeveden . On July 29th and August 15th, 1536, the arbitral tribunal, chaired by Archbishop Thomas Schöning and Master of the Order Hermann von Bruggenei , finally issued a judgment in the Wiek dispute. According to the judgment, Reinhold von Buxhoeveden was to be compensated by the supporters of Wilhelm. Johann von Fahrensbach's share amounted to 3,000 marks over six years.

In addition to Udenküll, he had also owned the villages of Harra in the parish of Nuckö in the Wiek and Voerla. Whether he is to be equated with Johann (Hans) Fahrensbach zu Pedua , who took part in the state parliament in Wolmar in 1525 and is called again in Pedua in 1545, or if he was a cousin, needs to be clarified.

Johann von Fahrensbach referred to Friedrich von Ampten , the bishop of Reval (1551–1557) and provost of Ösel , as his master. However, he was also in the service of Johann von Münchhausen . On February 2, 1557 he made his will.

Johann von Fahrensbach zu Udenküll, who was named among the followers and advisers of Magnus von Denmark from 1560 onwards , must have been his natural son and main heir of the same name.
