Jetřich Slatinský of Slatinka
(died 1591) | Rosenberg District Custodian |
We have the first mention
of Jetřich in 1552 in Hluboká where he worked as high officer. In
1572 Slatinský was already in Český Krumlov where Wilhelm von
Rosenberg signed a contract with him, and he served in
Wilhelm´s service in his castle office. From 1574 to 1586 he worked
as district castle custodian. He became a deputy of the Rosenbergs
on their estates and possessed wide political, military, economic,
judicial and police authority. He held this post at the time when
Jakub
Krčín of Jelčany and Sedlčany served as custodian on the
Rosenberg estates. In 1588 he bought the house on Latrán
no. 37 in Český Krumlov which, from the architectonic point of
view, is very curiously built. Jetřich Slatinský served as the
district castle custodian at the time when the Český Krumlov castle
was under reconstruction. He gave information of construction
progress to Wilhelm von Rosenberg, and his letters from 1574 - 1580
are very interesting in that he mentions the names of particular
castle rooms that had already been removed. In 1580 he also
discussed the construction of a roof on a castle tower, in 1586 he
participated in setting the cornerstone of a Renaissance building
of the Jesuit college - Horní
No. 154 and in 1588 he had a covering of a staircase built to
the vicarial St.
Vitus church. In 1589 Slatinský established a foundation and
the money from this foundation was divided into alms for poor
people in an asylum, a reconstruction of St. Vitus church and the
money for a house of poor pupils by the Jesuit college. Slatinský
died in December 1591. A granite tomb stone on a wall of a house
called Kaplanka - Horní
no. 159 street - still marks his life.
