Ernst Ludwig (20 November 1545,〔Classen (2002), p.363〕 Wolgast – 17 June 1592, Wolgast)〔Thümmel (2002), p.87〕〔Essegern (2007), p.59〕 was duke of Pomerania from 1560 to 1592.〔Gryse&Pettke (1997), p.180〕 From 1569 to 1592, he was duke in the ''Teilherzogtum'' Pomerania-Wolgast,〔Mager (1986), p.83〕 sharing the rule over the Duchy of Pomerania with his older brother Johann Friedrich, duke in the other ''Teilherzogtum'' Pomerania-Stettin and bishop of Cammin.〔Nicklas (2002), p.135〕 ==Life== Ernst Ludwig was one of ten siblings born to Philipp I of Pomerania-Wolgast and Maria of Saxony.〔Inachim (2008), p.58〕 After the death of his father on 14 February 1560, all siblings were under the guardianship of their great-uncle, Barnim XI.〔Siebmacher (1981), p.77〕 With one of his brothers, Barnim XII, Ernst Ludwig studied at the University of Wittenberg from 1563 to 1565, where they resided in the house of Martin Luther.〔Kabus (1984), p.9〕 With another brother, Bogislaw XIII, he temporarily lived at the court of Johann Wilhelm, Duke of Saxe-Weimar.〔Branig (1997), p.112〕 In 1569, Barnim XI retired, and the duchy was internally partitioned among the male members of the House of Pomerania on 23 May in Jasenitz (now part of Police), which was approved by the Landtag in Wollin (now Wolin). Ernst Ludwig and his brother Bogislaw XIII received Pomerania-Wolgast, while his other brothers, Johann Friedrich and Barnim XII, received Pomerania-Stettin and Casimir IX the bishopric of Cammin. Because Bogislaw and Barnim immediately renounced their positions and were compensated with the domains of Barth and Neuenkamp and the domain of Rügenwalde, respectively, Ernst Ludwig got to rule his share alone.〔Inachim (2008), pp.60-61〕 On 20 October 1577, he married Sophia Hedwig, daughter of Julius of Brunswick-Lüneburg. With her, he had three children: Hedwig Maria, Elisabeth Magdalena of Pomerania, and Philipp Julius.〔 Ernst Ludwig developed the University of Greifswald, where he was personally involved in the rebuilding of the medical faculty.〔 Ernst Ludwig also participated in the unsuccessful attempts of his brother, Johann Friedrich, to elevate the Duchy of Pomerania's military status in the Upper Saxon Circle.〔Nicklas (2002), pp. 134-135〕 In 1574, Ernst Ludwig built a residence in Pudagla on the ruins of the secularized Usedom Abbey.〔Goetz (2006), p.60〕 Two villages in the modern Vorpommern-Greifswald district carry his name: Near Wolgast, he founded Groß Ernsthof,〔Brüske (1983), p.184〕 and on the shore of the Bay of Greifswald he built the residence of Ludwigsburg in 1580,〔Branig (1997), p.148〕 which he gave to his wife on 16 August 1586.〔Alvermann (2006), p.69〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Ernst Ludwig, Duke of Pomerania」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
