When Heinrich Wilhelm von Wüstenhoff, the previous owner of the Silbitz male and female lean- to property in Naumburg Monastery, had to sell this property due to heavy debts, Johann Martin Haugk easily paid the negotiated purchase price of 25,500 Reichstaler. Thereby he became heir, feudal lord and judge and patron of the church in Silbitz. This also gave him the opportunity to rise to the nobility. After paying a substantial sum of money, on January 5, 1751, he and his descendants were raised to imperial nobility.

On December 15, 1761, Johann Martin von Haugk was buried in the hereditary funeral in Silbitz.
