Maria Pettenbeck

Maria Pettenbeck , sometimes also Marie or Maria von Pettenbeck, (* February 5, 1573 (or 1574) in Haag, Bavaria ; † December 4/5, 1619 in Munich ) was the founder with her husband Ferdinand von Bayern (1550-1608) of the noble family of the Counts of Wartenberg . Ferdinand von Bayern came from the Wittelsbach rulers .

Life

Maria Pettenbeck was the daughter of the administrative officer / district judge Georg Pettenbeck (d. 1608) and his wife Felicitas Simon (d. 1604) from the county of Haag. Maria had eight brothers and six sisters, as indicated by at least one fresco of the parish church of St. Nikolaus and St. Maria in the Dachau district of Mitterndorf, which her father Georg Pettenbeck donated. Depicted on the left and right of the Madonna are his wife Felicitas and his children.

Maria married Ferdinand von Bayern from Wittelsbach in Munich on September 26th, 1588 at the age of fifteen. It was a morganatic marriage; H. in this case that Maria was "not befitting" for Ferdinand because of her origins. As a result, numerous agreements were made that affected the life of the couple and their descendants. So Ferdinand had to forego the Wittelbacher title and his descendants were only entitled to inheritance to a limited extent. On the other hand, the couple received goods - including the County of Haag, from which Maria came from -, annual cash donations and promises to provide financial support for possible descendants. From 1602, his children were raised to the nobility of the Counts or Countesses of Wartenberg.

Maria lived with her family in Munich in a city palace on the Rindermarkt .

She died in Munich on December 4 or 5, 1619 at the age of 46. She was buried in the Munich family crypt in the Sebastian Chapel. In 1808, by order of Maximilian I Joseph, she and 24 of her descendants were reburied in the Frauenkirche in Munich.

Maria and Ferdinand had 16 children, 10 of whom the parents survived. After the death of her husband in 1608, Maria lived in difficult financial circumstances. Ferdinand had left behind a lot of debts so that Maria was forced to seek help from the nobility.
