Philipp von Pappenheim (born December 14, 1542 ; † November 13, 1619 ), also called the Reformer, introduced the Reformed faith according to the Zwinglian doctrine in Bad Grönenbach .

Life

After the death of his father Wolfgang von Pappenheim († 1558), Philipp decided, together with his brothers Wolfgang and Christoph , to go on a pilgrimage to Jerusalem . The plan was changed, however, and so Philipp and one of his brothers turned back in Venice and returned to Zurich , Switzerland . In Zurich, Philipp met the Reformed preacher Bächli and adopted the Reformed faith of the Zwinglian style. Back in Grönenbach, he introduced the new doctrine of faith based on the principle of " cuius regio, eius religio ". As early as 1560 he and his relative Alexander II von Pappenheim agreed on the common use of the collegiate church of St. Philipp and Jakob as a simultaneous church in Grönenbach, which existed until 1621. From the year 1612 until his death seven years later, Philipp held the seniorate of the Reichserbmaschallamt. Since he was already very old at that time, the seniorate was temporarily administered by Landgrave Maximilian von Stühlingen. In his will, written in 1613, he stipulated that his successors would lose their inheritance if they did not maintain and continue the Reformed faith in Grönenbach. Philipp von Pappenheim was married twice. First marriage to Ursula von Ellerbach and second marriage to Anna von Winneberg and Beilstein († September 30, 1635). Both marriages remained childless.

Possessions

When the inheritance was divided by lot with his brothers after 1558, Philip came into possession of the Rothenstein and Kalden Castle. Through his first marriage to Ursula von Ellerbach, he married into the Bellenberg rule. In 1563 he built the Lower Castle in Bad Grönenbach together with his three brothers Wolfgang, Christoph and Conrad von Pappenheim . After the death of Christoph Ulrich von Pappenheim in 1599, he acquired the third part of both the Gräfenthal and Pappenheim rulers. Of Alexander II. Von Pappenheim he inherited after his death in 1612 its share in the domination Gräfenthal, as well as goods to Pappenheim and shares in Allgäu fief. Through these inheritances and with the defense of the inheritance against Alexander II's only daughter, Anna and her husband Otto Heinrich Fugger, he came into the possession of most of the entire family. Philpp, his nephew Wolfgang Christoph († August 22, 1635), who died childless, was the heir . This in turn bequeathed his property to Maximilian von Pappenheim .
