Philipp Eduard Fugger
Philipp Eduard Fugger von Kirchberg and Weissenhorn (born February 11, 1546 , † August 14, 1618 in Augsburg ) was a German merchant from the Fugger von der Lilie family .
Life
Philipp Eduard Fugger was a son of Georg Graf Fugger on Weißenhorn and Kirchberg (1518–1569) and his wife Ursula von Lichtenstein zu Carneid († 1573). He was taught by Petrus Canisius together with his brother Octavianus Secundus (1549–1600) , after which the brothers came to the Collegium Germanicum in Rome . In 1579 they donated the Augsburg Jesuit College St. Salvator from Christoph Fugger's estate . In 1580 they were released from the joint Fugger trade and six years later joined Matthäus, Paul and Markus Welser in a trading company that was supposed to bring pepper from the East Indies to Lisbon every year on five ships and sell it to the Spanish king . To this end, five factories were set up for purchases on the Indian Malabar coast. In the Hanseatic-Dutch-English area, factories were set up for sales. The sea war between Spain-Portugal and England put trade in constant danger. In 1591/92 none of the departed ships came back to Lisbon, so that the pepper contract with Philip II ended soon afterwards with great loss.
Philipp Eduard Fugger was married to Maria Magdalena von Königsegg († 1592) from 1573 . The couple had four sons and three daughters, u. a. Karl Fugger (1587–1642), later canon in Constance .
He was buried in St. Ulrich's St. Ulrich's Chapel in Augsburg.
