Johann Siegmund Hayek von Waldstätten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Johann Siegmund Hayek Imperial Knight of Waldstätten (born June 11, 1661 in Hungarian Brod (Uherský Brod) , † January 1, 1737 in Vienna ) was Reich Court Council Secretary , Imperial Court Counselor , secret trainee lawyer and Imperial Knight . He was the progenitor of the two, later baronial lines from the von Waldstätten family .

Life

Thomas Hayek's younger son, who later called himself Johann Siegmund, studied with the Jesuits in Hungarian Hradisch (Uherské Hradiště) and then worked as a private secretary in the service of the future Vice Chancellor Count Dominik Andreas I. von Kaunitz . He accompanied him to Holland as the imperial legation secretary and secret trainee lawyer, and achieved special merits at the conclusion of the Rijswijk Peace (1697). In 1700 he became secretary of the Imperial Court Council for the Latin expedition. He also held the titles of imperial court counselor and secret trainee lawyer.

Johann Siegmund Hayek received the old imperial knighthood in Vienna on September 5, 1701 with the predicate "von Waldstätten", which largely coincided with that of Fridrich von Fridstein, differences only in fields 3 and 5 (three oak trees = forest = Hayek). In the Hayek diploma there is no mention of a transfer of the coat of arms. This seems to have taken place from father-in-law to son-in-law via facti , without prior knowledge of the aristocratic authorities.

family

The now called Johann Siegmund married Marianne Therese Friderich von Fridstein on July 29, 1696 (born March 28, 1673 in Vienna; † November 6, 1760 there). The couple lived in the Kaunitz property on the Freyung. They had 14 children, seven of whom had died in childhood. Two sons continued the line: Dominik Josef Simon Judas, founder of the older line, and Ignaz Michael Josef Philipp, founder of the younger line.

Out of gratitude, the knight donated an altar in the church of his hometown “for the special luck that favored him in life” and also ordered the installation of a memorial stone in the church, which is said to still be there today.
