Some Famous People called Jean Beck

Jean de Beck

Baron Jean de Beck (1588 – 30 August 1648) was a soldier and governor of the Duchy of Luxembourg and of the County of Chiny.

He was born "Jean Beck", the son of Paul Beck and his wife Catherine Ronck (or Ronckart), in house no. 5 (demolished in 1958) of the rue de Trèves in the Grund of Luxembourg City.

In 1619 he joined the Austrian-Habsburg army. In 1632 or 1633 he was promoted to Major-General by Albrecht von Wallenstein, and in 1634 was appointed commander of the Prague garrison.

On 25 February 1634 he was ennobled by Ferdinand II for his service in the Austrian army. In the summer of 1635, after leaving Wallenstein, he returned to Luxembourg.

On 18 April 1637 Ferdinand III made him a Baron. In the same year he became commander of the Luxembourg fortress. The year after he was made provisional governor of the Duchy of Luxembourg and the county of Chiny. This became official on 18 January 1642. In 1643 he became "Maître de camp général" of the army.

In 1639 Beck commanded the Spanish and Imperial vanguard at the relief of Thionville. The same year, he bought Beaufort Castle and built a new castle next to it.

De Beck never forgot his humble origins. Despite acquiring a substantial fortune, he remained generous.

In the Battle of Lens, he was wounded on 20 August 1648 and transported to Arras, where he refused all medical care. A few days later he died of his wounds.

The Bastion Beck of the Luxembourg fortress is named after him. It was built in 1644, where the Place de la Constitution is today. Likewise, rue Beck in the city is named after him.
