Simon Bing
Simon Bing (* 1517 in Homberg an der Efze ; † November 30, 1581 in Kassel ) was a Landgrave Hessian administrative officer and politician.
Life
Bing joined Landgrave Philip I of Hesse in Kassel in 1534 at the age of 17 as a clerk . Just three years later he became chamber secretary and remained so until 1552.
When Landgrave Philipp traveled to Halle in June 1547 to submit to Emperor Charles V , Simon Bing - together with Chancellor Heinrich Lersner , Rudolf Schenk zu Schweinsberg and Wilhelm von Schachten - became a member of the Regency Council, Philip's young son Wilhelm IV. and his mother Christine von Sachsen (1505–1549) assisted Philip in the administration of the Landgraviate during the five-year captivity of Philip 1547–1552. In the autumn of 1551, Simon Bing and Wilhelm von Schachten were Hessian plenipotentiaries in negotiations with the French ambassador, Bishop Jean V. von Bayonne , and the representatives of Saxony, Brandenburg and Mecklenburg in Friedewald and in the Lochau hunting lodge , which ultimately led to the attack against Emperor Karl Treaty of Chambord directed by the Protestant opposition to the princes in the empire with King Henry II of France . After Landgrave Philipp returned from imperial captivity, Bing was promoted to council in the Kassel office.
Under Philip's son and successor, Landgrave Wilhelm IV of Hesse-Kassel (1567–1592), Bing was chamber master and finally from 1574 to 1580 commander of the fortress Ziegenhain .
Bing's loyal and capable service was evidently appropriately rewarded. On May 1, 1564, he was able to purchase the so-called “Haus Werbe” - the secularized former monastery of Ober-Werbe near Waldeck - with all accessories as a deposit; exactly five years later, after redeeming the pledge, he passed it to Count Heinrich IX. from Waldeck -Wildungen. In 1576, Bing received the village Datterode (today part of the municipality Ringgau ) in the district of Eschwege after the death of the previous fiefdom holder Werner von Trott zu Solz as a fiefdom ; he held it until his death.
Simon Bing died on November 30, 1581. His grave monument is in the Brothers Church in Kassel.
