William von Danckelmann
William Hector Bonaventura Freiherr von Danckelmann , also Dan [c] kelman [n] , (* March 12, 1778 , † April 29, 1833 ) was the Saxon vice district director and governor and after 1815 Prussian district administrator .
Life
He came from the noble family von Danckelmann on Lodersleben , who was raised to the baron status, and is the son of Wilhelm Freiherr von Danckelmann, who died young, and Cornelia Helena, née. von Baumgardt, daughter of a councilor of the Dutch-East Indian company in Cape Town . His widowed mother married her late husband's brother.
As the stepson of Ludwig Philipp Gottlob Freiherr von Danckelmann , he initially became an adjunct of the stepfather, who was the district director of the Querfurt district. His stepfather ceded half of his two manors in Lodersleben to him in 1802 so that he could pursue a career as an official. In 1811 William left two thirds of this half to his two brothers, Adolph Freiherr von Dankelmann and Cornelius Freiherr von Dankelmann.
In 1816 he was appointed provisional district administrator of the newly formed Querfurt district in the administrative district of Merseburg in the province of Saxony . In 1817 he finally took over this office, which he administered until his death in 1833.
He was married twice. In 1802 he married Amelie von Rheden († 1816) and after her death in the same year Henriette von Wangenheim (1793-1859).
His brother-in-law was the Prussian Minister of State Gustav Freiherr von Brenn .
