Life

Von Fabrice came from a Hessian aristocratic family that had initially been raised to the nobility under the name Fabricius . His father was in Hesse-Darmstadt active Councilor and Chancellor Philipp Ludwig von Fabrice (1599-1666). Weipart Ludwig von Fabrice first studied law at the University of Gießen and after graduating he went to the Reichshofrat in Vienna as a licentiate . Here he worked as an agent for the Count of Waldeck and through him made the acquaintance of the Guelph dukes , whose goodwill he quickly won. After his first activities for the Dukes of Braunschweig-Lüneburg in Vienna, he was called to Celle by Duke Georg Wilhelm in 1669.

As a Privy Councilor, he was promoted to head of the law firm in Celle and was commissioned in 1707, together with Paul von Püchler († 1711), to set up a higher appeal court for the young electorate in Celle, the future management of which was transferred to him by the Duke in 1708. The new court began its work in 1711 under the President of Fabrice. From it emerged in the 19th century in the course of the implementation of the Reich Justice Laws today's Higher Regional Court of Celle .

From his marriage to Marie Juliane Vietor from Waldeck there were 16 children, including Johann Ludwig von Fabrice and Friedrich Ernst von Fabrice . The daughter Christine Sophie (1678–1751) became prioress of the Protestant women's monastery Lüne , Marie Auguste Margarthe married the Braunschweig privy councilor Hieronymus Wiegand von Laffert (1659–1728) and Luise Barbara married the Holstein minister Christian Wilhelm von Eyben († 1717).
