Ludwig Heidenreich von Callenberg († October 27, 1637 in Stettin ) was a German court official and officer from the noble family Callenberg .

Life

Count Otto Heinrich von Callenberg and Kurt Reinicke von Callenberg were his relatives and, like him, members of the Fruitful Society . In 1612 Callenberg was able to take part in the coronation ceremonies of Emperor Matthias in Frankfurt am Main in the entourage of Landgrave Moritz von Hessen-Kassel . Around 1621 Callenberg was under the military command of Margrave Friedrich V of Baden-Durlach . Later, as a colonel, he commanded the guards regiment of Margrave Christian Wilhelm.

In 1623 Callenberg and Landgrave Wilhelm V of Hessen-Kassel were accepted into the Fruit-Bringing Society by Prince Ludwig I of Anhalt-Köthen . The prince gave him the company name “der Gelinde” and the motto “inside and out”. As an emblem, Callenberg was given "the great pitcher or mullein" (probably Verbascum densiflorum Bertol ). Callenberg's entry can be found in the Koethen society book under the number 66. On the occasion of his admission, Callenberg wrote a rhyme law, but so far it is considered lost.

In 1626 Callenberg switched to Danish services after the defeat in the Battle of Lutter . When his former employer, Landgrave Wilhelm V of Hessen-Kassel, moved to Gustav Adolf , he promoted Callenberg to a Hessian colonel. In his service he advanced to the general war commissioner of Hesse and later to the governor of Paderborn .

With effect from April 26, 1634, the Landgrave appointed Callenberg as his representative in the Heilbronner Bund . He held this office until the autumn of 1635, although Axel Oxenstierna vehemently refused to work with him.
