Ulrich von Wackerbarth

Ulrich von Wackerbarth (* before 1573 in Schwerin ; † probably 1659 ) was a German canon, district administrator in Saxony-Lauenburg and the last cathedral dean in Schwerin.

Life

Ulrich von Wackerbarth came from the Saxon-Lauenburg noble family von Wackerbarth . He was a son of the Schwerin cathedral dean and heir on the Kogel (now part of Sterley ) Otto von Wackerbarth and his wife Anna, née. von Sperling (1550–1590). Little is known about his youth and education.

As early as 1573 he was listed as an aspirant for a canon priest in Schwerin. In 1610 he was resident canon and was appointed structuarius by the cathedral chapter with the supervision of the cathedral master builder. On January 9, 1619 he was senior of the chapter and in 1634 cathedral dean . His term of office was marked by the consequences of the Thirty Years' War . In 1628, Mecklenburg was occupied by Wallenstein , who was also enfeoffed with the monastery. The cathedral chapter was expelled and, as it was called in the capitulation of Duke Adolph Friederich von Meklenburg on the administration of the Schwerin monastery when the monastery was re-established in 1634 , as it was countersigned by Wackerbarth , its goods and income were privatized and destroyed . After the death of the cathedral provost Otto von Estorff in 1638, there was initially no choice of a successor. 1642 of the canons Ulrich von Wackerbarth was of them for an explanation provost chosen. Due to the fact that Duke Adolf Friedrich did not recognize the election as administrator, he was no longer valid as such. A little later the monastery was finally secularized in the Peace of Westphalia and fell to Mecklenburg-Schwerin as a secular principality .

Ulrich von Wackerbarth took over the farm on the Schelfbauhof, today's Schleswig-Holstein House, from his father . In 1651 the duke also claimed this former chapter property for himself. However, he stayed in the Wackerbarth family.

Wackerbarth was also active in the home country of the Sachsen-Lauenburg family , where he was co-lord on Kogel and a district administrator. On September 19, 1619 he was one of the signatories of the renewal of the Union of Lauenburg Knights and Landscapes. In it, the knighthood affirmed the rights and privileges anchored in their Union of 1585. Four members are elected as elders , including Ulrich von Wackerbarth zu Kogel. The others were Hartwig von Perkentin zu Zecher, Otto von Schack zu Gülzow and Joachim von Bülow zu Gudow and Wehningen. The four elders should form a standing committee together with a lawyer and should be entitled to act in the name of the knight and landscape in all cases. In 1630 there was a conflict with Duke August who wanted to exclude him from the state parliament. At the insistence of the knighthood, however, the prince admitted him to the following diets.

Ulrich von Wackerbarth was married to Margarethe, b. von Brockdorff from Tralau . Together with her he founded in 1616 a brass - chandelier with 2 × 9 arms for the cathedral, which has been preserved there until today. The couple's son, Otto von Wackerbarth († September 19, 1670), born in 1607, became court marshal of the dukes Adolf Friedrich and Christian Ludwig ; In 1636 he married Margaretha Catharina von Dannenberg , with whom he had the son Christian Ulrich (1641–1701) and two daughters; in his second marriage he married Magdalena von Ahlefeld in 1653 .
