Philipp V was the eldest son, inheritance and successor to Count Philipp IV of Hanau-Lichtenberg (* 1514; † 1590) and the Countess Eleonore von Fürstenberg (* 1523, † 1544).

To the family see main article: men and counts of Hanau

Philipp V was baptized on the day of his birth in Buchsweiler. [first] On June 18, 1553, he was enrolled at the University of Tübingen [2] . Here he focused particularly on mathematics and astronomy. For a long time, a silver “earth and celestial ball” he made is said to have been in family ownership.

Philipp V. married three times:

  1. on October 14, 1560 in Bitsch Pfalzgräfin Ludovica Margaretha von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (born July 19, 1540 in Ingweiler (today: Ingwiller), † December 15, 1569 in Buchsweiler). She was the only child of Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (born July 19, 1510, † March 22, 1570) and inheritance. She was buried in Ingweiler. With her he had the following children:
    1. Johanna Sibylle (born July 6, 1564 [3] in Lichtenberg; † March 24, 1636 in Runkel), married to Count Wilhelm IV von Wied-Runkel and Isenburg († 1612)
    2. Philipp (born October 7, 1565 [4] in Buchsweiler; † August 31, 1572 [5] in Strasbourg), buried in the Adelphis Church in Neuweiler
    3. Alborn (* November 22 1566 [6] in Buchsweiler; † February 13, 1577 in Hagenau), buried in the Adelphis Church in Neuweiler
    4. Katharina (* 30. januar 1568 [7] in Buchsweiler; † August 6, 1636), married to Schenk Eberhard von Limpurg-Speckfeld (* 1560; † 1622)
    5. Johann Reinhard I. (* February 13, 1569 in Bitsch; † November 19, 1625 in Lichtenberg)
  2. on February 18, 1572 in Bitsch Countess Katharina von Wied (born May 27, 1552, † November 13, 1584 in Lichtenau). She was buried in Ingweiler. With her he had the following children:
    1. Juliane (born March 6, 1573 [8] in Babenhausen; † April 8, 1582 [9] in Buchsweiler), buried in the Adelphis Church in Neuweiler
    2. Eleonore (born June 13, 1576 in Babenhausen [ten] ; † still as a child)
    3. Philipp (born July 21, 1579 in Babenhausen, † February 23, 1580 in Buchsweiler), buried in the Adelphis Church in Neuweiler
    4. Amalie (born March 14, 1582 in Buchsweiler, † July 11, 1627 [11] in Buchsweiler), buried in Lichtenberg
  3. on June 20, 1586 in Buchsweiler Schenkin Agathe zu Limpurg-Obersontheim (born November 17, 1561, † 1623), daughter of the Reichserbschenken Friedrich VII., Lord zu Limpurg-Obersontheim (born August 6, 1536, † January 29, 1596), buried in Lichtenberg. After 1605, she married Count Rudolf von Sulz, Landgrave in Klettgau (born February 13, 1559, † May 5, 1620), previously married to Barbara von Staufen. With Philipp V. Agathe had the following children:
    1. Agathe (born June 17, 1587; † after 1605 [twelfth] ) was accepted as identical to Anna Margaretha, otherwise the last three children are said to have been born within a period of only 19 months. [13]
    2. Reinhard (born January 21, 1589, † February 7, 1589), buried in the Adelphis Church in Neuweiler
    3. Anna Margarethe (* after 1589; † shortly after birth) was assumed to be identical to agathe. [13] A contemporary document in the Hessian State Archives of Marburg speaks against this assumption [14] , which all family members fully lists.

Government [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1570, the first wife of Count Philipp V, Palatine Ludovica Margaretha of Zweibrücken-Bitsch, since otherwise there were no male relatives, inherited the second-not already ruled by Hanau-Lichtenberg-half of the Lichtenberg rule and the rule of Bitsch and the rule of Ochsenstein . Her father, Count Jakob von Zweibrücken-Bitsch (* 1510, † 1570) was the last male namesake of the family. Already in 1540 his brother, Simon V. Wecker. This also left only one daughter. A violent argument about the legacy relaxed between the husbands of the two cousins, Philipp I of Leiningen-Westerburg and Philipp V of Hanau-Lichtenberg. [15] Formal were the rule of Bitsch and the Lemberg Lieben office of the Duchy of Lorraine. In principle, fiefs were only inherited in the male trunk.

In the dispute with Philipp I of Leiningen-Westerburg, Philipp V was initially able to prevail, but, through the immediate introduction of the Reformation, made the mighty and Roman Catholic Duchy of Lorraine under Lutheran confession. This then moved in the fiefs. In July 1572, Lorraine troops occupied the county. Since Philipp V was not up to the Lorraine military superiority, he chose the legal process. In the subsequent process in front of the Reich Chamber Court, however, Lorraine referred to the fact that on the one hand, considerable areas of Zweibrücken-Bitsch 1302 had been exchanged by Lorraine and, on the other hand, on the other hand that the Leininger Counts had sold their inheritance claims to Lorraine in 1573.

It was not until 1604 and 1606 a contractual regulation between Hanau-Lichtenberg and Lorraine. The compromise included a division: the county of Bitsch fell back to Lorraine and the Lemberg office was added to Hanau-Lichtenberg. This was reasonable in terms of content, since it also corresponded to the denominational conditions of the territories.

Due to his old age, Philipp IV in 1685 made government affairs to Philipp V. [16] After his father’s death in 1590, Philipp V then ruled in his own name. As early as 1579, he introduced his father’s “with advice” the Solms Landrecht in the Babenhausen office. This was a measure of the legal attachment within the network of the Wetterau Reichsgrafkollegium. From his father, he took over the guardianship for the still minor children of the late Count Philipp Ludwig I of Hanau-Münzenberg in 1585, which had existed for Philipp Ludwig II and Albrecht since 1580.

Guardianship in Hanau-Münzenberg [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In addition to Philipp V., Count Johann VI. With regard to Count Albrecht, who only became of legal age in 1605 and significant, denominational disputes between those involved-the Hanau-Lichtenberger were Lutheran, the Hanau-Münzenberger-the guardianship was finally finally ended in 1608.

Philipp V tried to launch the Lutheran Duke Reichard of Palatinate-Simmers to the guardianship, which-despite a corresponding mandate of the Reich Chamber Court-did not succeed: the reformed majority of the guardianship prevented the Hanau-coast of subjects towards the Duke . In addition, she managed to install the Palatinate Countal and Cond-Cond-Printistration Johann Kasimir von Pfalz-Lautern as “Obervormund”-a pure volunteering-but so that the reformed position within the guardianship continues to strengthen. In this conflict, Philipp V finally was defeated.

Domestic policy [ Edit | Edit the source text ]

In 1588 he built the first coin in Wörth an der Sauer in his county. [17] The reason for this was probably the excellent economic situation of the county during his reign.

The witch tracking widespread during this time also took place under his government. He issued a corresponding proclamation to persecute the witches, but then it was probably not involved in the matter. Only a few executions have become known in the county of Hanau-Lichtenberg, such as in Schaafheim.

Philipp V was sick in his last years. So he also died during a spa stay in Niederbronn. His representative epitaph is preserved in the chapel of Lichtenberg Castle, where it was also buried. [18]
