Pierre de Salabert (* 1734 in Albi or * around 1735 in Albi or * 1736 in Fréjairolles ; † February 21, 1807 in Munich ) was Minister of State in the Duchy of Pfalz-Zweibrücken and in the Electorate of Bavaria .

Life

Salabert is said to have been ordained a priest in Metz and to be a pupil of Jean-François Marmontel . He was appointed from Paris to the court of Duke Christian IV of Pfalz-Zweibrücken as a spiritual advisor . From 1761 he acted as tutor of Prince Carl August and from 1762 also of his brother Max Joseph , who later became King of Bavaria. He owed princely patronage his elevation to the nobility and his appointment in 1770 as Commendatar Abbot of the Benedictine Abbey of St. Mauritius in Tholey . After Christian IV's death in 1775, he moved to the court of Countess Marianne von der Leyen at Blieskastel Castle , and later moved to a spacious palace near the city of Homburg , which his former student Carl August had given him. After the revolution in France, he hosted high-ranking refugees from Paris there.

From 1793 the Abbé served as Minister of State of the Duke Palatinate Zweibrücken. He was accused of having carelessly handed Mannheim over to the French revolutionary troops. In 1794 he witnessed the siege and bombing of Mannheim by imperial troops. Commandeur de Salabert was dispatched to Munich on September 17, 1795. On November 23, 1795, the day after the city was evacuated by the French troops, he was arrested by the adjutant of the kk field marshal and held captive until 1797. In a diplomatic note from February 1796, his former student Max Joseph campaigned for his release at the Imperial Assembly in Regensburg .

From 1799 Salabert lived in Munich , where in 1804 he had a palace built by the architect Karl von Fischer , today's Prinz-Carl-Palais , near the Hofgartengalerie at the Finanzgarten . On January 1, 1806, as royal minister of state, he signed the protocol of the official ceremony with which the elevation of Bavaria to a kingdom was first made public.
