Philipp von Lerchenfeld

Philipp Graf von Lerchenfeld-Brennberg (born May 30, 1785 in Munich , † November 8, 1854 ibid) was a Bavarian civil servant, a. a. as District President of Lower Franconia from 1838 to 1840.

Life

Philipp Graf von Lerchenfeld was the son of Max Emanuel Franz Graf von Lerchenfeld († 1792), curbbavarian treasurer, real secret councilor and lieutenant general and Franzisca Freiin von Leoprechting. As a pupil of the Pagerie he graduated from Munich high school in 1802 and studied law at the University of Landshut from 1804 to 1808 . In 1808 he was a lawyer in Innsbruck and Salzburg , and in 1811 he was a councilor for the Isarkkreis . Later he was a district judge in Scheßlitz and Erding . In 1832 he asked King Ludwig I of Bavaria in a ten-page letter for an appropriate promotion. He immediately complied with the request and Lerchenfeld became a councilor at the general commissioner of the Isarkkreis. There he was promoted to government director in 1837 before being appointed to the post of district president of Lower Franconia and Aschaffenburg in 1838 . In 1840 he came to the Upper Bavarian Court of Appeal in Freising , which he was to preside over as president. The associated reduction of his salary by 1000 guilders made him initiate a lawsuit against the tax authorities, which he lost. In 1843 he retired and moved back to Munich.

From 1815 he was married to Therese Countess von Lodron auf Haag (1785–1845). The five children were Max (1815–1816), Max (1817–1852), August (1818–1819), Caroline (1820–1840) and Maria Theresia (1821–1822). All relatives were buried in the Munich south cemetery. With Lerchenfeld's nephew Alfons, the Count's line Lerchenfeld-Brennberg died out after 23 generations in the male line.
