Farewell to Leipzig

Leipziger Farewell is the name of several contracts concluded in Leipzig .

The Leipzig farewells of 1570, 1573 and 1574 were supposed to regulate the repayment of the enormous debts of the Counts of Mansfeld . These had accumulated over two million guilders . After the Leipzig farewell on September 13, 1570, the sequestration of the count's possessions was ordered.

The second Leipzig farewell in this matter is dated April 21, 1573.

The third and last farewell to the debts of the Mansfeld Counts in Leipzig was on March 15, 1574 in Leipzig between Counts Hans Georg, Hans Albrecht, Hans Hoyer von Mansfeld and the creditors and creditors of Counts Peter Ernst, Hans Ernst (†) and Bruno completed by Mansfeld. The farewell said that everyone who has to claim the debts from the Mansfeld counts should arrive early on May 24th, 1574 at the city hall of Leipzig in front of the commissioners and notaries ordered there and transfer the mortgage letters and other documents in their possession Original should be submitted. Since this date was not enough, another one was scheduled on July 5, 1574 in Halle (Saale) .

The Leipzig farewell of April 2, 1631 (according to the Gregorian calendar of April 12), on the other hand, was a resolution of the Protestant electors and estates during the Thirty Years' War against the war contributions and the edict of restitution .
