Alliance coat of arms Kageneck and Sickingen at Stegen-Weiler Castle
Traditional epitaph inscription from the Thesaurus Palatinus

Joseph Anton von Kageneck became the local lord of the communities of Bleichheim , Munzingen , Merdingen , Weiler and Hipsheim / Alsace . He had Stegen-Weiler Castle rebuilt in the Baroque style, from which the Kageneck and Sickingen alliance coat of arms above the main gate still originates.

According to the epitaph inscription, the baron also held the positions of a chamberlain from the Palatinate, an imperial castle man at Friedberg Castle and an assessor for the knighthood of the Upper Austrian region .

Kageneck had no children of his own, but appears to have been very pious, charitable and popular with his subjects. When he died in 1747, he was buried in the Mannheim parish church of St. Sebastian , where he received an epitaph that no longer exists today. The touching inscription, however, is handed down in the Thesaurus Palatinus of the regional historian Johann Franz Capellini von Wickenburg († 1752). There it says u. a .:

"... his subjects mourn him as a father, the poor as their great doer, who counted (other) children as his own by leaving , whose left was not allowed to know what his right was doing, an enemy of all praise and vain splendor, an old one Catholic Christian and admirer of Our Lady, who long since dead to the world he longed to die every day and whose soul will have reached heaven before his corpse was put in the crypt, blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy. But if his soul still has to leyden, Wanderer speaks with devotion: Requiescat in sancta pace. "
