Short Description: "Friedrich Christian Freiherr von Plettenberg-Lenhausen (August 8, 1644 – May 5, 1706) was from 1688 until his death prince bishop of Münster. Through his foreign policy, which relied on different alliance partners, he succeeded in giving the Hochstift Münster a semi-independent role for the last time during the Palatinate Succession War.

On July 29, 1688, he was elected prince-bishop. He brought significant diplomatic experience in his office. Likewise, he knew his way through the offices held in the past in the government of the congregation.

As a bishop, Friedrich Christian tried to improve the education of priests. He loved and organized many magnificent liturgies and church festivities. For the cathedral, he donated, among other things, new windows, silver candelabra and a marble floor." - (en.wikipedia.org 30.01.2020)
