Marriage on the day of St. James. The village of Münster with beautiful old Gothic church, once owned by the most powerful family in the Wetterau, the Lord of coins mountain, with the extinction of the family inherited the Lord of Falkenstein and from the legacy of Count John of Solms received anno 1418 Lich and the demesne belonging to it so that the cathedral. Soon after the Treaty of Passau Ernst I. Graf von Solms-Lich led a Protestant doctrine in his county. Munster will be performed early on as a separate parish. To this parish belonged to the village Oberbessingen, these two villages with Hattenrod Ettingshausen and then constituted the Court of Muenster and Oberbessingen; was mostly held in the latter places the Judiciary. Lucius, the pastor announces appointment to the above-mentioned church Munster Senior and Schultheis Rühl, "1667, Johann Jacob Lotz prescribed for Parr after H.

Philipp Adam deserves, which is a cousin of the minor counts / / 60 / / was the father, but he had not entrusted it, because he was Roman Catholic, yet he knew look in the possession of the government to bring and this gentleman was so the county as John Jacob Lucius was a pastor in Munster. This 1636 count had half his dominion Lich sold to Count Albert Otto Solms-Laubach, but when he dies, enters the rightful heir to the dominion. But after two years Rühl reports of a new tribute. The new Count Philipp Adam had in fact passed on to all sworn Stammespakta its share of the house Solms Solms-Lich, on his surviving daughter, Josephine. Only seven years after a process lasting Count Hermann Adolf Moritz will be refunded his heritage again. (4a) Of the ten years spent what Lucius in Munster, tells us John Rühl. It is this period of his life in the tempestuous period of Hollando-European war in which Louis XIV commanding influence extended over almost the whole of Europe. Also belonging to the cathedral and parish Lucius villages had suffered terribly from billeting and oppression. "Until 1697, this cost the town and took Kriegsbeschwerung Gülten Oberbessingen etlich Dausend well." Even a terrible fire was visited this church 1675, by which the greater part of the village with the building City Hall was cremated. The jurors book reports from the year 1674, Mr John Jac. Lotz, pastor at Munster, by 320 guilders Hofraithe a half since then, along with the owner of John Doerr owned property in Munster field, meadows, fields and gardens on 5 Oct. purchased, the same but later on the 9th Oct. 1677 and 4 Nov. 1680 resold at a loss. - It was not unusual then, as we have since learned that Lucius predecessors did the same, and that he himself will once again stream into residential homeowners. Munster Lucius came as a priest in residence stream. "On 14 Oct. 1676 he has been of Philip Adam, Count of Solms, gentlemen Munzenberg Wildenfels sun and forest, on Erbherr Herolitz, Humpolitz and Okrawlitz by caro Plenipotentiarium Dr. Glock, Syndicum primarium appointed to the Frankfort parish vacirenden for residential Bach and the 29th Oct. presents to the Christian church there. " Wohnbach belonged to the dominion as Munster Miinzenberg and came / / 61 / / with this later in the possession of the lords of Falkenstein, and then the Count of Solms Lich. (5) Lucius had been through in the last three years in Munster much hardship in Wohnbach he was still experiencing harder times. Here, too, had dwelt badly in the years 1674-76 French, and kölnische stiftmünstersche troops. In the rectory of the new pastor found nothing, as "an iron stove in the parlor, in which a Ofentöpfen, a piece of banking in the parlor, a small iron stove in the narrow little room above the stables, a cow's manger, the old and lazy, an old unfit Scheuer ladder, a roll in the barn without a rope. "- But the worst was yet to come. The new minister was barely two months in office, as occurred in the winter in the middle of the night from 6 to 7 January 1677 a repeated invasion of Münsterischen. Most residents fled. Captain Meyer lived miserably with the people and put on a serious arson. Because 42 thalers. Which were still lays claim to the earldom Lich, he let the pastor take Lucius and two court assessors under arrest, and only by a miracle, the prisoners were re-released . (6) the end of 1677 bears the church's pastor Lucius in Book: "many children are in the neighborhood as to ram home and Berstadt been baptized, sometimes because of people standing in the land of Lüneburg and Munster peoples verübet the great Insolentien with the people who avoided were. " During the absence of the pastor of the study Münsterischen completely ruined in the summer of 1677 re-established, moreover, on 8 Oct. 1678 a brand new parish house "brought," ie probably pitched. Of course it took some time to complete destruction of the church was reconstructed again. For several years the church had to be held outside the church, only on 1 Advent 1681 Lucius could keep the "Church Renovation sermon. The present spacious church, which seems to have been originally Gothic, but now no longer even a choir, will still be pretty much the same / / 62 / /, as it was then rebuilt. Even now, amid the palm is 2 of 11 3/29/2010 10:00 PM LuciusNet Genealogical Forum - Lucius Lotz of the Lich id Wetterau http://translate.googleusercontent.com/translate_c?hl=en&ie=UTF-8&sl=... emblazoned on the ceiling in stucco exported images of various symbolic figures (justitia, fides, etc.) with the emblem of Philip Adam transcriptions of Solms Lich. As it was then in ecclesiastical and moral sense in living stream, which gives us a record of a sad testimony of the pastor and he tells of a "grand Dekretum which of the municipality of residence stream from the pulpit to be read in order to await the industrious and devout worship. "The same complaints are that are often present only 10, maximum 20 people at the sermon, but went about court magistrates and other persons during the service of their work and are wandering about in the taverns, and even that some drunk would come to church. For the transgression of the Sunday order will be determined by the dominion, a fine of 3-6 guilders. Lucius wrote to the edge of this Dekretum: repetitum 6th February 1687, rep. Ao. 1702 Dom. Trin. In such conditions in the town of Lucius had every reason to prayer, which he inscribed to his appointment to the church record book supremum numen precor, ut huic mandata quam provinciae felicissime praeesse: OM Deo primum deinde mihi et omnibus meis possim auditoribus prodesse, mihi etiam nihil quidquam obesse queat. Faxit ita DOM Amen. (7) For Wohnbach should come very soon indeed sad times and the part of those to whom they had provided all the best to look normal. On 9 Sept. 1679 joined the already mentioned change of one of the dominion. But Adolf Hermann Moritz Graf zu Solms Lich soon gave birth to his new subjects in Wohnbach oath of allegiance, and this rendered the homage to "the empire-high-born Mr Hans Vollbrecht von Riedesel zu Eisenbach and Sekendorff", which Wohnbach against 15,000 thalers. Lich been ceded by the Count of Solms was. All Huldigungsakt was closed by an ovation of the pastor Lucius. But already in 1683, Mr von Riedesel came from because of irritability is had with the debtor's rights to housing and process stream to the Landgrave / / 63 / / Frederick of Hesse-Homburg, which ensure to Count Solms-Lich yet another 3000 thalers.
