Life

Quedlinburg - main place of activity of Adrian Adam von Stammer

He came from the old Saxon noble family von Stammer . Hanns Heinrich von Stammer (1603–1654) zu Ballenstedt was his father and Margaretha Judith, born von Bennigsen zu Banteln (1622–1704), his mother.

Adrian Adam von Stammern embarked on an administrative career and rose to the Privy Council. In 1687 he became mayor in Quedlinburg. In the years 1477/79, the Electoral Saxon Bailiwick was established via the Quedlinburg Imperial Monastery . This was sold to Kurbrandenburg in 1697 under the monastery governor von Stammer, which led to the occupation of the monastery area by Brandenburg-Prussia on January 30, 1698. As a result, Stammer went from being an Electoral Saxon to a Prussian civil servant.

In 1693 Adrian Adam von Stammer was made a knight of the Order of St. John.

Gottfried Arnold came to him at Rammelburg Castle in the summer of 1693 to take up a position as tutor and informator with him. Stammer employed a Moor from Malta at his castle.

family

He married Sophia Maria († February 14, 1705), a daughter of the Privy Councilor Ernst Friedemann von Selmnitz . From this marriage the son Johann Friedrich von Stammer († 1720) emerged, who - like his Selmnitz grandfather - became supervisor of the county of Mansfeld and owner of the Rammelburg office . Ernst Rudolph von Stammer was another son of this marriage.

Sophia Maria von Stammer came into the possession of the Vehra mit Henschleben manor near Sömmerda through purchase from her sisters and co-heirs , which remained in the von Stammer family until 1713.
