Melchior Heinrich Schede

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Melchior Heinrich Schede († 1675 in Dresden ) was a German court official. He was an electoral Saxon court and justice councilor as well as a manor owner .

Life

After attending school and completing his legal training at the University of Altdorf , which he completed with a doctorate, Schede entered the service of the Elector of Saxony and became court advisor and councilor at the court in Dresden. A correspondingly high income enabled him to acquire the Liebersee manor near Belgern. When the von Seydewitz family was forced to auction their manor Plotha in the Mühlberg office due to debts , he also acquired this property for himself in 1666. In 1672 the Plotha manor also included the “Wohla” (Wohlau) farm, which had been laid out on an earlier desert.

When Melchior Heinrich Schede died in 1675, he was buried in the Sophienkirche in Dresden. A metal plate reminded of the church until the destruction in 1945. Next to him, his wife Elisabeth Schade, born Wille, who died in 1682, found her final resting place, who was also honored with a metal plate.

Melchior Heinrich Schede left behind several underage children, including the three sons Johann Christian, Melchior Heinrich and Franz Theodor Schede. The middle of these sons, Melchior Heinrich Schede, died on December 17, 1689 in Bucharest as adjutant to the sergeant-general Count von Trautmannsdorff. Franz Theodor Schede studied in London in 1692 and in the following year acquired half of the manor at Plotha from his older brother Johann Christian Schede, so that from then on he was the sole owner of this property. Franz Theodor Schede died childless on August 25, 1708. As a result, Plotha fell to his brother Johann Christian Schede, General Auditor. But he too died childless on September 29, 1720 in Plotha, so that Plotha was his co-lean and since then has no longer been in the possession of his representative of the Schede family.

In addition, from 1662 he had also owned the Ammelgoßwitz manor .
