Life

Altengottern Castle built on behalf of Rudolph Levin Marschall

Rudolph Levin comes from the Marschall family, who have lived in Herrengosserstedt since the Middle Ages and who owned the hereditary marshal's office of the Landgraves of Thuringia. The family was ramified. His father Wolf Marschall owned one of the many manors' estates in Herrengosserstedt and was a Colonel on horseback from the Electorate of Saxony and governor of the Langensalza and Weißensee offices . Rudolph Levin Marschall sold his share of this estate in Herrengosserstedt at a profit.

In 1632 Rudolph Levin married Marshal Anna Gertrud von Hagen (1605–1643), the heir to the last Hagen owner on Altengottern. In 1634 he took over the Altengottern manor (later called I or Schloss) and saw the manor go up in flames when the Swedes invaded in 1641. He tried to rebuild the Altengottern estate, with which he was enfeoffed in 1652 by Elector Johann Georg I of Saxony.

He had also come into the possession of the Hardisleben office , which he sold to the von Uffeln family in 1650 with the consent of Sachsen-Altenburg .

In 1652 he became a member of the Fruitful Society , in which he was nicknamed The Abolisher .

From 1662 he tried to buy the manor Lodersleben .

His sons Georg Rudolph and Levin Adolph Marschall inherited their father's property. The eldest took over aging gods. Johann Adolph Marschall is his youngest son, who was born in Herrengosserstedt after his father step by step bought back the family property that had fallen into strange hands.
