Life: Mühlmann grew up in Lützschena near Leipzig, where his father Christian II. Mühlmann worked as a pastor from 1633 to 1660. He studied at the princely school in Pforte, then in Jena and Leipzig. Then he traveled to Rome to visit his brother Christian III. Mühlmann, who worked there as papal secretary. There he found out that he had since died. He was forced to serve in the Papal Guard for 12 years, but received his resignation at the request of the Cardinal and Prince-Bishop of Breslau, Prince Frederick of Hesse-Darmstadt, who converted to the Catholic faith in 1637. He attended the Italian academies and returned to Leipzig in 1671, where he became a master and worked successfully as a translator of the Italian language. He was also fluent in French. Mühlmann wrote numerous works. He was a coin expert and made a gazophylacium of gold and silver coin impressions “which, in both white and yellow laan, as well as in paper, were traced with great effort from the originals with a pen, consisting of over 10,000 copies, in 2 strong folios with an indice and Manuscripto speciali and more than 20 alphabets belonging to it, which his heirs still own." He died in Leipzig on Podagra on the 24th. April 1715.

Family: Mühlmann's parents were Christian II. Mühlmann (* 11. February 1611; † 13. September 1660), 27 years pastor in Lützschena ⚭ Susanna NN

Paternal grandparents: Johann Mühlmann, archdeacon at the Nikolaikirche in Leipzig ⚭ 17. October 1608 Gertraud (née Grünewald, widow of Paul Bursius).

Mühlmann's brother was Christian III. Mühlmann (* around 1640, died in Rome as papal secretary). His stepmother Elisabeth was a daughter of Johann Heimpohl, mayor and notary in Brehna. As a widow, she married Johann Hentzschel, citizen and Kramer in Leipzig in 1665. Mühlmann's half-sister Euphrosine (* 25. March 1655 in Lützschena; † 21.

Frederick II of Hesse-Homburg – the “Prince of Homburg” – (* 30. March 1633 in Homburg vor der Höhe; † 24. January 1708 there) was Landgrave of Hesse-Homburg.

His fame was mainly due to the drama Prince Friedrich of Homburg and the Battle of Fehrbellin promoted by Heinrich von Kleist.

Childhood and youth: Frederick was the seventh and last child of Landgrave Frederick I of Hesse-Homburg. The father died in 1638. The children grew up under the guardianship of their mother, Margarete Elisabeth von Leiningen-Westerburg. At her request he was born together with the sons of his cousin, Landgrave George II. from Hesse-Darmstadt, taught by court masters in Marburg. Because of a broken thigh he suffered in 1648, he stayed in Bad Pfäfers for a while.

When Field Marshal Henri de La Tour d'Auvergne, vicomte de Turenne, appeared in the Homburg area, Frederick was sent to meet him by his mother to begin negotiations about sparing Hesse-Homburg. Turenne was so impressed by the prince that he immediately wanted to take him into his army and finance his military training. But this plan failed due to resistance from Friedrich's mother.

At the age of 16 he went on a Grand Tour through Italy and France, which was followed by studies in Geneva. He wasn't actually enrolled; rather, he learned dancing, riding and fencing and perfected his French language skills.

In 1653, Prince Frederick of Hesse-Homburg was married by Duke Wilhelm IV. of Saxony-Weimar accepted into the Fruit-Bearing Society. It was given the company name of sticky reports and the motto Sticks to itself. The toadflax was given to him as an emblem. The Prince of Homburg's entry can be found in the company's Köthen company register under number. 613.

Career: Since his older brothers were ahead of him in the line of succession, he pursued a military career. In 1654 he became a colonel in the army of Charles X Gustav.

Frederick's prosthesis: During the Second Northern War in 1659, Frederick was so badly wounded during the storming of Copenhagen that his right lower leg had to be amputated. He was promoted to major general and from then on lived with a wooden prosthesis. Chosen by Charles

In 1661, at the age of 28, he married Margarete Brahe, 30 years his senior, the wealthy widow of the Swedish statesman Johan Axelsson Oxenstierna; The marriage, of course, remained childless. With the funds of his wife, who died in 1669, Friedrich acquired land in Brandenburg and became a friend of the Great Elector Friedrich Wilhelm. In 1670 in Cölln he married his 24-year-old niece, Princess Luise Elisabeth of Courland, affectionately called “my angel fat woman” by Friedrich. Before that, the Lutheran prince had converted to his wife's Reformed faith. This union resulted in a dozen children until his wife's death in 1690.

As general of the cavalry, he was given command of all of Brandenburg's troops in 1672. In 1672 and 1674 he fought in the Dutch War in Alsace against the French army under Field Marshal Turenne. As commander of the Brandenburg cavalry, he attacked on the 28th. In June 1675, during the Swedish invasion at the Battle of Fehrbellin, he attacked the Swedish army without orders. He inflicted heavy losses on her, which contributed significantly to the outcome of the battle, but also to discord with the Great Elector. He took part in the Pomeranian campaign of 1675/76 and in the hunt across the Curonian Lagoon and negotiated the Peace of Saint-Germain (1679) for the Elector of Brandenburg.

Landgraf: After saying goodbye, he lived as a “country squire” in Brandenburg. After the death of his second eldest brother Georg Christian, he redeemed the Landgraviate of Hesse-Homburg, which had been pledged to Hesse-Darmstadt, and took up residence there. He took over as Frederick II in 1681, after the death of his brother Wilhelm Christoph. the government in Hesse-Homburg. After a lengthy dispute, he had to cede the office of Bingenheim, which Wilhelm Christoph had owned, back to Hesse-Darmstadt, but was financially compensated for this.

He had the baroque Homburg Castle built and tried, with little success, to stimulate the economy by setting up a glass factory and a saltworks. Another measure, however, was successful: the settlement of the Protestants expelled from France - Huguenots and Waldensians - in their own communities of Friedrichsdorf and Dornholzhausen. Now his court alchemist Paul Andrich made him a prosthesis with springs and silver hinges - hence the nickname “Landgrave with the Silver Leg”. After the last trip to Charles XII. In Leipzig he probably died of pneumonia. He was buried in the castle's crypt.

reception:Friedrich is the hero of the drama Prince Friedrich of Homburg or the Battle of Fehrbellin by Heinrich von Kleist (written in 1809/1810, first published in 1821). However, the figure does not have much more in common with the historical person than the name. In addition to the drama, there is also the opera The Prince of Homburg by Hans Werner Henze, whose libretto was written by Ingeborg Bachmann.
