Neveling from the bar

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Neveling von der Recke (partly also Neweling von der Recke ) († 1591 in Rüthen ) was from 1565 to 1591 Landkomtur of the Deutschordensballei Westphalia and Komtur der Kommende Mülheim .

Life

He came from the von der Recke clan and, like others in his family, entered the Teutonic Order .

In addition to his office as land commander in the time of the Truchsessischen turmoil in 1583, he was a member of the government of the Duchy of Westphalia and was at times a representative for the absent Landdrosten Eberhard zu Solms-Lich . In the dispute about the impending marriage and the transfer of the Archbishop of Cologne Gebhard I von Waldburg , he initially took a mediating position in order to avoid the open conflict with the archbishop. After a letter from Emperor Rudolf II arrived for him on December 31, 1582 , saying that von der Recke and zu Solms-Lich should do everything to dissuade Gebhard from his irresponsible behavior, they wrote to the elector and warned against the likely adverse consequences of his plans. At the decisive Landtag in 1583 there were violent disputes between those who sided with the archbishop and those who opposed him. Von der Recke was now clearly in the camp of Gebhard's opponents and therefore almost dueled with his Westphalian councilor Otto von Wolmeringhausen .

In 1584 he was one of the dignitaries of the duchy who welcomed the new Elector Ernst of Bavaria at Werl . A short time later he campaigned strongly for the election of Ernst von Bayern also as Bishop of Munster and was ambassador in this matter.

He himself lived mostly in the town of Rüthen with a concubine and their six children. He died there in 1591.
