Johann Ludwig von Pincier

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Ludwig von Pincier , from 1698: Johann Ludwig Pincier, Freiherr von Königstein (* August 1, 1660 in Lübeck ; † October 5, 1730 there ) was a jurist, first ducal and later royal Danish bailiff , privy councilor in the Lübeck monastery and provost in the Lübeck cathedral chapter .

Life

He was the son of the Lübeck canon Ludwig von Pincier and great-grandson of the Lübeck cathedral dean Ludwig Pincier of the same name . After attending school in Lübeck, he studied law at the University of Kiel and at other universities, especially in Leiden . He then entered the service of Duke Christian Albrecht of Schleswig-Holstein-Gottorf as court master for the 15-year-old future Duke Friedrich IV and accompanied him on his cavalier tour through Europe. In 1690 he became court advisor and in 1693 chancellery in the Gottorf government. After Duke Christian Albrecht's death in 1694 and Duke Friedrich IV's accession to power, the latter appointed him privy councilor, bailiff in Tondern , general war commissioner and deputy president of the privy council; His brother-in-law Magnus von Wedderkop became President of the Privy Council and thus head of government . When Frederick IV leased the duchy to the von Clausenheim brothers shortly before his death , Wedderkop and Pincier's responsibility was limited to foreign affairs. Pincier advocated closer union of the duchy with Sweden; for this he received the Swedish nobility in 1691 and was in 1698 by King Karl XII. raised by Sweden as Freiherr von Königstein to the rank of baron. On September 2, 1698, Pincier also became canon in the Lübeck cathedral chapter. The Peace of Traventhal in 1700 is considered the culmination of his diplomatic efforts.

The Königsteinsche Haubarg in the Christian-Albrechts-Koog from 1708 reminded of his share in the dike in North Frisia until the fire was lost in 1988 .

In 1709 Pincier got caught up in the case of Magnus von Wedderkop, but was able to evade arrest by hurrying back from Husum via Hamburg to Lübeck. He gave up the title of privy councilor in Holstein and became first imperial, then royal Danish councilor and knight of the Danebrog order . The firm in Gottorf under Georg Heinrich von Görtz convicted him in a trial of cabinet justice on the basis of untenable accusations against the protests of both the Danish and the Swedish kings. From 1714 to 1723 he was bailiff of the Danish crown in Aabenraa and Lügumkloster . In 1723 he returned to Lübeck.

Johann Ludwig von Pincier was married to Anna Elisabeth Bartels († April 24, 1741), the daughter of a doctor from Hamburg. Magnus von Wedderkop was married to his sister Elisabeth Pincier (1661–1731) since 1683 .

His estates Oehe ( Maasholm ) and Dollroth , which had been confiscated in 1709 and which he got back after the Peace of Frederiksborg , he bequeathed to his son Carl Ludwig Pincier von Königstein (1701–1742); with his death in 1742, the von Königstein family died out in the male line. His daughters married two sons of his brother-in-law von Wedderkop, including Frederike Amalie Gottfried von Wedderkop .

His preamble was given to the future provost Jacob Levin von Plessen .

Burial chapel

Sandstone sarcophagi of Johann Ludwig von Pincier and his wife

In 1712 he acquired a room in Lübeck Cathedral that had previously been used by the pallbearers as a pantry as a hereditary burial , henceforth known as the Pinciersche or Königstein Chapel . Access was given in 1724 by a rococo portal. This burial chapel was repealed and demolished in 1878. The baroque sandstone sarcophagi of Baron von Königstein and his wife, which are splendid on the visible long side, were moved to the dean's chapel in the north aisle. This chapel was built around 1300 for the Lübeck mayor Marquard Hildemar († 1300) and his family and was rededicated as the cathedral dean's chair chapel from the 17th century .
