Life

Origin and family

Matthias von Kerckerinck zu Stapel grew up with his brothers Johann (1627–1700, canon in St. Mauritz in Münster ), Heinrich Hermann (1632–1684, canon and dean in Fritzlar Cathedral), Bertold Theodor (1640–1709, margravial court master and Kammerjunker as well as cathedral dean) and Wilhelm Lambert (1645–1676, court cavalier in Baden-Baden and Hesse and canon in Aschaffenburg) in the old patrician family Kerckerinck in Münsterland . His father was Bernhard zu Giesking (* 1596), his mother's name was Richmod von Buck zu Sentmaring (* 1626). The oldest known ancestor of the Kerckerinck hereditary family was Godike von Kerckerinck, who acquired the Stapel family in 1467 . His descendants bought Haus Giesking. The great-great grandson Bernhard (* 1552) inherited Haus Stapel, Haus Giesking went to his brother Bertold (1554–1625). A Fideikommiss was formed, so that two branches of the family developed temporarily. Matthias became the lord because his brother Johann renounced the inheritance. On July 21, 1669 Matthias married Hedwig Christine von Graes zu Loburg (1643–1704, resigned abbess of Hohenholte and daughter of Johann von Graes zu Loburg and Anna Elisabeth von Aschebrock zu Mahlenburg). The son Johann Ludwig emerged from the marriage.

The role of the Kerckerincks in the hereditary dispute

The original aristocratic origin is assured for the Kerckerinck hereditary family. In the 13th century the hereditary men had unhindered access to the cathedral chapter. Members of the family provided canons. In the year 1392 the cathedral chapter had given itself a statute with which it was confirmed by the Pope its custom, which had existed for more than a hundred years, to only accept descendants of noble parents. Although hereditary men had already been members earlier, afterwards the occupation of the cathedral chapter in Westphalia by non-hereditary nobles and “knightly citizens”, each with the approval of the emperor and pope. In the middle of the 16th century, the Münster hereditary men wanted to participate in the privileges of the ecclesiastical monasteries as influential townspeople and partly of knightly origin, education and property. There was a dispute with the cathedral chapter, which resulted in a protracted legal battle. The Kerckerincks were co-leaders of the litigation community from the start. Bertold Kerckerinck zu Giesking and Johann Kerckerinck zur Borg, together with eleven other families (including Schenckinck and Droste zu Hülshoff ), had success against the knighthood and the monastery in 1597 . Due to the appeal, the proceedings were delayed, so that the Imperial Court of Justice of Speyer ruled in favor of the gentlemen again on October 30, 1685. Johann Ludwig had gone to Speyer as a participant in the trial with his mother, who had meanwhile become a widow. Due to the renewed appeal, the matter was delayed until January 10, 1710, when Emperor Joseph I, as the highest judge, finally decided in favor of the heirs. Until the dissolution of the Hochstift in 1806 due to the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss , four family members managed to move into the cathedral chapter. Johann Franz (* 1739) and Karl Anton (* 1751) became canons .
