Ulrich Langenmantel vom Sparren (* around 1500 in Augsburg ; † 1570 ) was an Augsburg patrician from the family of Langenmantel vom Sparren , a lawyer , privy councilor and court master of the underage margrave Philibert of Baden .

origin

He was born as the son of the Mayor of Augsburg (Stadtpfleger) Georg Langenmantel vom Sparren († 1521) and his wife Anna geb. Ilsung . The father was very much appreciated by Emperor Maximilian , whom he also served with his Augsburg riders in the war against Venice . He traveled to Bruges with Konrad Peutinger in 1520 to greet the new King Charles V on behalf of the city.

Ulrich's brother Sigmund Langenmantel († 1545) officiated as district judge and ducal caretaker in Kelheim , where his epitaph has been preserved in the parish church of the Assumption of Mary .

Christoph Langenmantel (1488–1538), another brother, was canon of Freising and educator of the young Duke Albrecht V of Bavaria . He had also helped Martin Luther escape in Augsburg in 1518 .

The sister Maria Langenmantel was a Benedictine in the Holzen Monastery and officiated as abbess (master) between 1538 and 1553 . She is described in the annals as "very capable" .

Charitas Langenmantel, another sister, officiated as abbess of Marienstein Monastery in 1544 and took in the Benedictine nuns from the Bergen monastery near Neuburg an der Donau, who had been expelled by Count Palatine Ottheinrich .

The uncle of the siblings (brother of the father) was the long-time Augsburg mayor and knight of the golden spur , Johann IX. Long coat from the rafter († 1505); Ulrich Langenmantel 1437–1473 provost of Völkermarkt in Carinthia and founder of the first Augsburg study foundation, a great-uncle.

Live and act

Ulrich Langenmantel studied law and earned the degree of Juris Utriusque Doctor . In 1531 he attended the University of Padua together with Viglius Zuichemus , whose friend he later remained .

When, after 1537, by order of the Reich Chamber Court, a guardianship council or a guardianship government was formed from Catholics and Protestants for the minor Lutheran margrave Philibert of Baden-Baden, Duke Wilhelm IV appointed him one of the Catholic representatives of Bavaria on this body. The second Bavarian councilor and government chancellor at the same time was Hans von Sandizell . Also Baden-Durlach , Pfalz-Simmern and Count Wilhelm IV. Von Eberstein sent representatives to the Vormundschaftsrat u. a. the Alsatian governor Heinrich von Fleckenstein , Johann Jacob Varnbuler (1510–1568), the son of Ulrich Varnbuler and Hieronymus Vehus († 1544)

The historian Wilhelm Muschka calls Ulrich Langenmantel "the dominant figure in the council" and explains : "Efficient, eloquent and fluent in French, he was appreciated by all" . In 1541 he issued school regulations signed by him for the margraviate. When Philibert went to the Bavarian court in Munich for three years in 1553 , he traveled with Ulrich Langenmantel, who also became his court master during this time. This was an express wish of Duke Albrecht V , since Langenmantel knew Philibert's “manners and essence” best. The co-guardian Palatine Count Johann II of Palatinate-Simmern regretted it, as he would have liked to have had the reliable advice in the government of Baden-Baden .

In 1554 Ulrich Langenmantel acted as envoy of the Bavarian Imperial Circle at the Imperial Circle Day in Frankfurt am Main . In 1555 he received a new nobility letter from Emperor Charles V confirming his old nobility and he granted him his family coat of arms, adding the coat of arms of the extinct patrician family Stolzhirsch, to multiply and to quarter the shield. He was also given half of Tiefenau Castle near Sinzheim as a Baden fief .

Ulrich Langenmantel represented the Margraviate of Baden-Baden in 1568 at the Munich wedding of the Bavarian heir to the throne Wilhelm V and his wife Renata of Lorraine .

In 1569, after the death of Margrave Philibert, Langenmantel was briefly promoted to governor (head of government) of the state of Baden-Baden. A guardianship government was formed for Philibert's heir, Philip II , to which Langenmantel belonged until his death in 1570. With a skillful and quick approach, he succeeded in eliminating the other candidates for guardianship. The new Guardianship Council consisted only of Catholic Bavarians, whereupon the Margraviate of Baden-Baden was completely re-Catholicized.

family

Ulrich Langenmantel was married to Anna geb. Meuting

They had their son Hartmann Langenmantel vom Sparren, who in 1569 was the only Catholic bailiff in the margraviate of Baden-Baden. In 1571, at the request of the guardianship government, he was also appointed bailiff of the capital Baden-Baden . In addition, the marriage resulted in Georg Langenmantel vom Sparren († 1572), Baden councilor and chief hunter. It rests in the collegiate church of Baden-Baden and received a beautiful epitaph there. The son Hartmann seems to have died around 1578, because on June 15 of this year Langenmantel's share in Tiefenau Castle fell to the owner of the other half of the castle due to the family's extinction.
