Life
Origin and family
As the son of the married couple Johann Eustachus d. Ä. von Franckenstein (1571–1632) and Anna Brendel von Homburg (1583–1651), Johann Richard came from along with his ten siblings of the ancient Franconian noble family von Frankenstein .
Career and work
Johann Richard, also called Reichart in the Aufschwörungsbuch , joined the cathedral monastery of Würzburg on July 20, 1621 after the revolt and studied at the University of Dole, founded in 1422, and in Mainz , where he completed his biennium on December 7, 1629 with a master's degree. He studied also at the Universities of Cologne and Freiburg Jura . In 1635 he became a member of the Würzburg chapter and in the following year he was able to accept a position as a judge in the Duchy of Franconia as a lawyer . Elected to the cathedral choirmaster in 1648, two years later after his ordination as a priest he took a position as pastor. Johann Richard also belonged to the cathedral monastery of Worms, where he took over the office of scholaster in 1655 and was capitular here until 1670. In addition to his work as a district judge, he was elected rector of the University of Würzburg in 1658/59 and 1660/61. At that time, the church tolerated such an accumulation of public and spiritual offices. In 1659 he became a senior at the Würzburg Cathedral Monastery. On November 28, 1673 he was elected provost of St. Burkard . He was the only member of both the cathedral chapter and the monastery chapter. He was also provost in Wetzlar (1653–1664) from 1653 to 1664, because Emperor Leopold I confirmed on August 3, 1670, after the family had been raised to the imperial baron status on January 16, 1670, that the imperial baron Johann Richard gave up the post of provost in Wetzlar at his own request. In Wuerzburg Cathedral, where he is buried, an epitaph was erected.
