Wilhelm Ernst von Zech

Wilhelm Ernst Zech , noble lord of Zech since 1716 , (born September 13, 1690 - † August 25, 1753 in Merseburg ) was initially a court official of the Duchy of Saxony-Weimar , then of the Duchy of Saxony-Merseburg and, after its dissolution, a court official of the Electorate Saxony . He was court, judiciary, chamber and consistorial councilor of the Merseburg bishopric .

Life

Wilhelm Ernst Zech was one of the numerous sons of Bernhard Zech, who was raised to the nobility in 1716 because of his services to the Electorate of Saxony.

With the support of his influential father, Wilhelm Ernst became court advisor to the Princely-Saxon-Weimar court. Even before acquiring a manor in the Merseburg monastery in 1734, he moved to Merseburg , where he was court, judiciary and chamber councilor as well as consistorial councilor. He first lived on the Geusa manor owned by Ludwig Adolph Freiherr von Zech. His youngest son was born there too. The family had sufficient financial resources so that he was able to place the highest bid of 8,550 thalers in the auction of the indebted manor Kleinliebenau , known as the Oberhof, on December 17, 1734 in the administrative building in Merseburg and thus won the bid. The manor property gave him the opportunity to take on further court offices in Merseburg and to take part in the meetings of the estates.

He died as a royal-Polish and electoral-Saxon abbey-Merseburg Chamber and Consistorial Councilor and was buried on August 29, 1753 in the castle and cathedral church of Merseburg.
