Urban hedge staller

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Urban Heckenstaller († 1748) was the secret secretary of the Bavarian electoral prince.

Heckenstaller was co-author of the manifesto of the "Kurbayerische Landesdefension Oberland" (the Tölzer patent ), which led to the Oberland uprising against the Austrians in 1705/06 (compare: Sendlinger Murder Christmas ), in which he was also involved. After the uprising was crushed, he fled to the Freising Franciscan monastery . From 1715 he was again in the service of the elector.
