Johann Georg Reichsgraf von Götzen (1623–1679) was a German nobleman in Habsburg service who served as Landeshauptmann (provincial governor) of the County of Glatz. He belonged to the noble von Götzen family and is associated with the establishment of its Catholic Silesian line.[1]
Born in Berlin-Zehlendorf in 1623, Götzen was a son of the imperial field marshal Johann von Götzen.[1] From 1638 he held canonries at the cathedral chapters of Hildesheim and Paderborn. According to the Germania Sacra personnel records, he resigned these offices in 1651–1652 and returned to the secular estate.[2][3]
Archival records identify him as Landeshauptmann zu Glatz, while official local history sources in Kłodzko describe him as the county's governor or starost.[4][5] He is also documented as the donor, together with his wife Maria Elisabeth, Countess von Hoditz, of the Pietà placed on the Gothic bridge in Kłodzko in 1655.[5][6]
