Wolf Marshal

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wolf Marschall , also Wolfgang Marschall , contemporary Wolf Marschalch or Wolf Marschalk (* before 1505, † before 1555) was a German court official of the Albertine Wettins as well as a manor in Herrengosserstedt .

Life

As the son of the knight Rudolph Marschall , he came from the Thuringian noble family Marschall , which had its headquarters in Herrengosserstedt as hereditary marshals of the Landgraviate of Thuringia. In 1544 he was enfeoffed with this property. His brother Hans Marschall was one of the tenants.

Wolf Marschall can be verified in the service of the Albertines from 1505.

At times he worked for the Counts of Schwarzburg in Arnstadt , who granted him the right to own an Arnstadt monastery to be secularized for his services.

In 1540 Wolf Melchior was employed as a sequestrator in the Landgraviate of Thuringia on behalf of Duke Heinrich von Sachsen, together with Melchior von Kutzleben and the mayor Georg Höpfener from Langensalza . As such he was u. a. responsible for the secularization of the Sittichenbach monastery . Afterwards he worked for the Elector Moritz von Sachsen and received from him, for example, a grace money of 100 guilders in 1549. When Elector Moritz died, the elderly Wolf Marschall was briefly appointed court official to Elector August von Sachsen, who was able to fall back on decades of experience.

In his official work he also worked with Wolf Koller for a time.

He was married to Anna Margarethe von Lichtenhayn.

After his death, his sons Georg Rudolph , Dietrich , Gerhard and Wolf Marschall zu Gosserstedt initially jointly administered the paternal inheritance from 1554. In 1563 they then agreed on a division of the estate. The eldest and the youngest son of the late Wolf Marschall were paid off and the two middle sons Dietrich and Gerhard Marschall kept the paternal property and lands, which they managed jointly for a while, but soon divided among themselves. The possessions also included possessions of the dissolved Oldisleben monastery .
