Ludwig Anton Paul von Hacke , also Haacke or Hacke auf Schweinspoint (* December 17, 1682 in Marxheim , Bavarian Swabia , Schweinspoint Castle ; † December 6, 1752 in Mannheim ) was a baron , Oberstforst- and Oberstjägermeister from the Electoral Palatinate , and owner of the independent rule Trippstadt in the Palatinate .

Live and act

He was the son of Friedrich Ferdinand Sittig von Hacke (1634–1693), who was raised baron in Düsseldorf in 1692, and his wife Maria Anna Sabine, née. von Nuland († 1690). They had acquired the castle and Gut Schweinspoint in 1683 and called themselves afterwards with their full name Hacke auf Schweinspoint . The father worked as chamberlain and hereditary chief stable master in the Principality of Pfalz-Neuburg .

Ludwig Anton von Hacke also entered the Palatinate-Neuburg service and took over the post of hereditary colonel stable master from his father , and he also worked as a district judge in the Upper Palatinate . On January 5, 1716, Elector Johann Wilhelm von der Pfalz appointed him Oberstjägermeister (also Oberstforstmeister) and enfeoffed him with the electoral Palatinate portion of the Wilenstein rule . Since Freiherr von Hacke belonged to the Catholic Church and the inherited Electoral Palatinate was largely protestant by the previous rulers, the Elector also pursued a targeted policy of re-Catholicization.

The parts of the Wilenstein rule assigned to the Baron von Hacke comprised the area of ​​the so-called Wirichshube in the old county of Falkenstein and consisted - in addition to large forests - originally only from the eastern part of Trippstadt with the village of Mölschbach . Ludwig Anton von Hacke rounded off his territory in 1719 by purchasing the rest of the Wilenstein lordship. In particular, it concerned the (larger) rest of Trippstadt, the village of Stelzenberg , Wilenstein Castle and the Aschbacher Hof with its ancient church. It was a wooded, poor and relatively neglected area, which was also claimed by Austria, to which the rest of the County of Falkenstein belonged.

Hacke made sustained efforts to the area. He brought in settlers - mostly Catholic, from Tyrol or Austria - and founded a. a. 1724 an iron hammer mill on the Unterhammer in Karlstal . He promoted metalworking, which was leased to the Gienanth family in 1772 and gained great importance here. Between Waldleiningen and the Stüterhof he had the so-called Riesenberger Weg laid out in 1737 in order to improve the removal of forest wood. A memorial stone also commemorates the builder here. He also built a wooden giant there to the Trift over the Speyerbach , which is marked by the Knight's Stone No. 121. He moved his residence to Trippstadt. Before 1719 he was married to Maria Anna Theodora Regina von Wachtendonk, daughter of Baron Hermann Adrian von Wachtendonk (1666–1702) and sister of the influential Electoral Palatinate Minister Hermann Arnold von Wachtendonk-Germenseel (1694–1768). Hacke often stayed with her in Mannheim, where the elector's court was now located; he was a Knight of the Order of Hubert and Real Privy Councilor .

As early as 1724, the nobleman had acquired the so-called Meckenheimer Castle in Lambsheim in the Upper Palatinate and had it rebuilt in its present form in 1740. The result was the characteristic octagonal tower with the coat of arms and weather vane of the Barons von Hacke, as well as iron wall anchors with the initials VH. In 1725 he bought the Lambsheim hunting lodge in the same place . He acquired both properties from the estate of General Johann Wilhelm von Efferen († 1724) from the Electoral Palatinate . As a forest connoisseur and lover, Ludwig Anton von Hacke had the garden at the Lambsheim hunting lodge expanded and equipped with rare trees and plants; a gardener was employed permanently. For the baron, the hunting lodge represented an idyllic leisure time near the royal seat of Mannheim, to which he repeatedly withdrew. Even Elector Karl Theodor came here to visit, as his wife Elisabeth Auguste von Pfalz-Sulzbach noted in a letter dated April 30, 1743 to her brother-in-law Clemens Franz de Paula von Bayern : “Yesterday we went to Lambsheim at the hoe, where the most beautiful garden in the world. "

Baron von Hacke died in Mannheim in 1752 and later found his final resting place in the Catholic Church of St. Joseph in Trippstadt. It was planned and donated by him, but had not yet started when he died. Before that, he had made the private chapel of his house available to the Catholics, but it offered too little space. The son Franz Karl Joseph von Hacke built the representative baroque castle Trippstadt and the associated church of St. Joseph as a court church. In it is the baroque family grave monument made of red sandstone. It commemorates Ludwig Anton von Hacke and his son Franz Karl Joseph. The stone bears the paternal alliance coat of arms, Hacke / Wachtendonk, in the middle, that of the son, Hacke / Sturmfeder ; also a Latin inscription for each of the two. The inscription by Ludwig Anton von Hacke reads:

“ Keep in step when you walk past whoever you are and honor the ashes of the illustrious Ludwig Anton von Hacke, real elector's secret council and chief hunter. He has increased his family through 18 children with his illustrious wife Anna Theodora von Wachtendonk, has increased their property through the Trippstadter rule, which he had initially acquired with certain concessions, and built this church with his own resources. He gave his blessed spirit back to Christ, whose honor he was looking for on earth, in 1752 "

- Translation according to the board in the church

The municipal coats of arms of Trippstadt and Stelzenberg contain the coat of arms of the Barons von Hacke in the lower part. There are two upright rainbows placed against each other on a silver background.

He was married to Amöna Marie Charlotte Juliane Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler , daughter of the Dirmstein local nobility Marsilius Franz Sturmfeder von Oppenweiler . Before she got married, she was the lady-in-waiting and closest confidante of Electress Elisabeth Auguste .
