Korbinian Prielmayr , since 1685 Korbinian von Prielmayr (born December 20, 1643 in Erding , † July 20, 1707 in Morimond ) was a Bavarian statesman.

Korbinian Prielmayr was born as the son of the Erdinger citizen and day worker Kaspar Prielmayr († 1674) and attended the Jesuit high school in Munich (today Wilhelmsgymnasium Munich ) until 1661 . In 1662 he was accepted into the electoral secret chancellery, where he increasingly found himself near the then Vice Chancellor Kaspar von Schmid . In 1683 Prielmayr was promoted to electoral councilor and secret secretary, in 1687 he was appointed head of the archive and in 1689 head of the secret chancellery. This also went hand in hand with the social rise: in 1685 the elevation into the imperial nobility, in 1692 the granting of noble freedom and in 1694 the elevation to imperial baron together with the granting of the care office of Griesbach .

Alongside Kaspar von Schmid, Prielmayr played a decisive role in Bavarian foreign policy at the end of the 17th century; Together with Schmid, he developed the Bavarian neutrality policy under Elector Ferdinand Maria until 1683, but turned unsuccessfully against the alliance with France in the War of the Spanish Succession . He was the Bavarian envoy several times, for example during the negotiations on the Peace of Rijswijk .

Prielmayr served Elector Max Emanuel , who was appointed governor of the Spanish Netherlands , also in Brussels as President of the Court Chamber (from 1698) and from 1702 held the office of the Bavarian Secret War Chancellery Director with responsibility for equipping and supplying the army . After the unsuccessful campaign against Austria , Prielmayr went into exile with the Elector in 1704 and died in Morimond in Hainaut in 1707.

His son Franz Bernhard von Prielmayr was during the Bavarian popular uprising of 1705/06 commander of the state defense and briefly president of the provisional government set up in Burghausen .
