Friedrich Mičan von Klinstein und Rostok
Friedrich Mičan von Klinstein und Rostok in Constantinople (fl. 1569–1578) was a German‑Bohemian nobleman from a long‑established family. The Mičan lineage in Bohemia goes back at least to the early 1400s; Jindřich Mičan was active in the 15th century and his son Jan died in 1503, after which the estates were divided among his heirs. In 1571 Friedrich served as the governor of the Kornhaus Estate and attended the Prague provincial parliament.
During the mid‑16th century he acquired almost all of the Žehrovice estate from the Kolowrat‑Bezdružický lords, except for the granary. The estate included Zehrow Castle, which had fallen into ruin since 1506. In 1569 Friedrich bought the remaining granary for 5,875 shock Czech pennies from Jan and Zdislav Abdon Kolowrat‑Bezdružický. In 1578 he sold parts of the Čelechovic estate to Georg Borzita von Martinitz, who bought the rest in 1595 from his heirs.
A Friedrich Mičan von Klinstein later appears as an Imperial Councilor. In 1613 this person was owed 33,000 shock Czech pennies; because the debtors could not pay, he came into possession of the Rischburg Estate. After his death, Rischburg passed to his son Albrecht Mičan von Klinstein, who left it to his wife Magdalena Mičan (née von Hodkowa). He was Baron of Klinstein and Rostock in Constantinople.
