biography

The family came from Upper Austria and was originally called Schütter. Lorenz Schütter († 1599) was ennobled as Schütter von Klingenberg . His great-grandson Franz Ferdinand Schütter von Klingenberg received the Austrian baron title under the title of Klimberg zu Klingenberg , but later emigrated from Austria because of his adherence to the Protestant faith and went to Württemberg. He was Philipp Reinhardt's grandfather.

Philipp Reinhard von Klingenberg was born as the son of the Württemberg officer Heinrich Moritz von Klingenberg and his wife Hildegard Freiin von Neuenstein. He joined Austrian army services in 1732, resigned as Oberstwachtmeister in the Damnitz Infantry Regiment and on January 1, 1753, with the same rank, transferred to the Infantry Regiment "Pechmann" of the Bavarian Army.

On May 7, 1756 he became the commander of the newly established Bavarian Cadet Corps. According to Johann Martin Maximilian Einzinger von Einzing , in his standard work Bayerische Adelshistorie (1768), Klingenberg was even the initiator of the cadet institute, which was given to Elector Max III. Joseph proposed the establishment. The officer made great contributions to the establishment of the young institute and also prepared the first statutes. It was officially founded on July 1, 1756. In 1757 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel and in 1760 to colonel of the Infantry Leib-Regiment .

Philipp Reinhard von Klingenberg had been chamberlain of the Bavarian Chamber of Commerce since 1754 and became a member of the Bavarian Academy of Sciences in 1761 , as he was also involved in natural science. Under his leadership, the first meteorological observations began at the cadet institute in Bavaria from 1761 and when the French astronomer César François Cassini de Thury traveled the country for research purposes, Klingenberg assigned one of his cadets to him as an assistant.

In 1761 Klingenberg bought the former house of Egid Quirin Asam in Munich's Brunnengasse, near the Kreuzkaserne , to which the cadet corps moved in 1762 and stayed until 1775.

Von Klingenberg was a knight of the Bavarian Order of St. Michael , whose award at that time still required the Catholic faith and aristocratic origin. He had married Sophie Haigel, daughter of an Austrian Rittmeister, and the marriage had two sons and four daughters. The son Johann worked as a Bavarian road and bridge construction inspector. Two daughters chose the clergy; Maria Anna became an English lady in Burghausen under the religious name Rosa Ursulinin in Linz and Louise .

According to his wishes, Philipp Reinhard von Klingenberg was buried on June 9, 1762 in the now defunct chapel of his fiefdom, Laufzorn Castle , near Munich.
