Johann Peter Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg (born May 28, 1663 , † December 22, 1732 in Pruntrut ) was a Swiss civil servant.

Life

Johann Peter Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg came from the Basel knightly family of the Münch and was the son of Georg Friedrich Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg († June 2, 1672) and his wife Claranna Rosina (* March 6, 1621; † December 29, 1665) , a daughter of Johann Jakob von Pforr from Munzingen .

He came from an aristocratic family in debt and entered the service of the Prince-Bishop of Basel to avoid ruin. In 1698 he became court master of Prince-Bishop Wilhelm Jakob Rinck von Baldenstein and later a privy councilor and court master. In 1705 he was appointed Vogt of the Ajoie .

He represented the Bishop of Basel, Johann Konrad von Reinach-Hirtzbach , at the Catholic cantons and at the conferences of Nidau (1706) and Aarberg (1711), because of the settlement of the religious dispute with Bern in the Provostei Moutier-Grandva . The Treaty of Aarberg separated the provost in two denominational areas: Catholics were now only allowed to live in the northern part of the provost, Reformed people only in the southern part.

Johann Peter Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg was married to Maria Jacobea Katharina, daughter of Johann Franz von Roggenbach (1628–1693), Vogt of Zwingen . Her son Beat Anton Münch von Münchenstein called von Löwenburg (1694–1759) became a cleric and was the last male member of the family. The daughters were:

  • Maria Anna Franziska Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg (born July 3, 1689; † 1760), married to Georg Sigmund von Rotberg (1685–1727);
  • Maria Antonia Veronika Münch von Münchenstein-Löwenburg (* 1699; † 1731), was married to Johann Christoph Rupert von Syrgenstein (1697–1766), Obervogt von Öhningen , Böllingen and Gaienhofen , knight council of the knightly canton of Hegau-Allgäu-Bodensee .
