Josef Benedikt von Reinach-Foussemagne
Johann Josef Benedikt von Reinach-Foussemagne ( Fuchsmänningen ) (* December 2, 1710 ; † October 14, 1796 in Wels ) was Grand Prior of the German language of the Order of Malta from 1777 to 1796 and thus also Prince of Heitersheim .
Life
Josef Benedikt comes from the old Swiss-Alsatian noble family of the Barons von Reinach . He was born as the fourth son of the French Count Franz Joseph Ignaz von Reinach-Foussemagne and his wife Maria Clara von Reinach-Münstrol.
From 1748 to 1767 Reinach is named as Commander of the Johanniter- Kommenden Reiden and Hohenrain . Reinach was governor in Heitersheim under the grand prior Johann Baptist von Schauenburg (1755–1775) and Franz Christoph Sebastian von Remchingen (1775–1777) . On August 20, 1777, he was elected Grand Prior. From 1777 to 1789 he is also known as Commander of the Coming Bubikon . In 1789 he sold the entire Kommende Bubikon to Junker Escher, who in 1790 sold the rights (courts, tithes and church clauses) to the city of Zurich .
He settled the dispute with the Habsburgs over sovereignty and de facto recognized Austrian sovereignty. Inside, he followed the ideas of Emperor Joseph II and in 1785 lifted the forced labor . He also lifted the system of Schupflehen , which had been increasingly widespread in the rule of Heitersheim since the 15th century, and converted it back into hereditary defects , which contributed to social pacification.
