Life

Hoen attended the Latin School in Diez and the Herborn Pedagogy (1588–1591), then the local High School Herborn (1594) and studied law at the University of Jena and University of Marburg . He was promoted to Dr. iur. utr. PhD . In Herborn, Hoen was a pupil of Johannes Gottsleben , to whom he devoted his "Dissertatio de variis feudorum divisionibus" published in 1598 in Jena.

After completing his studies, Hoen received his second apprenticeship as Professor of Jurisprudence in Herborn , moved up to the first position in 1606 and took over the rectorate and in 1608 the vice rectorate, was appointed to the Nassau Council in the same year and moved his residence to Dillenburg. While still a student, as Hofmeister Count Adolfs von Nassau-Siegen on his Grand Tour through Switzerland, France and England, he was able to gain valuable insights into foreign states, so that he soon rose to the position of office director and, in 1627, to the secret council.

Hoen served all members of the Nassau family of counts: Count Johann Ludwig von Nassau-Hadamar and Count Johann Moritz von Nassau-Siegen (the Brazilian), Count Georg von Nassau-Beilstein , who took over the reign of Dillenburg in 1620, his son Ludwig Heinrich and the Countess Juliana von Hessen-Darmstadt .

Act

Hoen's diplomatic skill, in connection with the transfer of Johann Ludwig von Nassau-Hadamar to the Catholic Church in Vienna in 1629, might have succeeded in bringing about a fiscal process against the Nassau Count House for participation in the Bohemian-Palatinate War on the part of Elector Friedrich, to end by crackdown on the part of the Viennese court.

He was also likely to have contributed significantly to the fact that Count Ludwig Heinrich von Nassau-Dillenburg, who commanded a regiment on foot and on horseback under Gustav Adolf, converted to the imperial party after the Peace of Prague .

Hoen also acted as a wise advisor in efforts to reach unity between the Lutheran and Reformed German imperial estates (Leipzig Convention 1631).

As a syndic of the Wetterau Counts 'Association , whose interests he represented at the time, he took part in 25 counts' days and various diets.

He was the author of numerous legal treatises, which at least appeared in the form of disputations. Several legally well-founded legal opinions and pamphlets come from Hoen, some of which dealt with the inheritance disputes within the house of Nassau-Siegen (Protestant versus Catholic line), but also some of the interests of the houses in Nassau-Dillenburg and Nassau-Diez in their dispute over the Church estates located in the County of Diez were considered to have been endangered by the Edict of Restitution of 1629 - as a fund of the Herborn High School .
