His father was Johann Franz Sebastian von Ostein (born November 4, 1652 in Pruntrut , † June 24, 1718 in Aschaffenburg ). One of his ancestors was Johann Heinrich von Ostein (* 1579; † November 26, 1646 in Delsberg ) since 1628 Bishop of Basel (during the Thirty Years War); Due to the Reformation of the city of Basel , the official seat of the prince-bishop was relocated to Pruntrut as early as 1527, hence his place of birth.

Johann Franz Sebastian von Ostein sold his inherited goods along with the Ostein family castle, which had been destroyed in the Thirty Years War, to the Antoniter Commandery in Isenheim in Alsace . In 1710 he bought an estate located in the Kingdom of Bohemia , the Maleschau dominion (today Maselow), for 400,000 guilders . He also acquired the lands of the Electoral Mainz Castle Ehrenfels ( Hesse ) used as coppice . This former toll castle was destroyed by the French after it was conquered and before their retreat in 1689 in the course of the Palatinate War of Succession. The ruin was given up by the Mainz cathedral chapter and their economic forest was for sale. In 1693 parts of the property and then again in 1705 the rest of the property went to Johann Franz Sebastian von Ostein.
