Albert von Schlippenbach
Count Albert Ernst Ludwig Karl von Schlippenbach (born December 26, 1800 in Prenzlau , † December 26, 1886 in Arendsee ) was a German-Baltic poet of the 19th century.
Life
Schlippenbach came from a branch of the family who - returning from the Baltic States via Sweden in 1686 - had settled in Brandenburg in the same year with large estates around Schönermark (Northwestuckmark) . As the fourth son, he was the sixth child of eighteen children of the Prussian chamberlain Carl Friedrich Wilhelm Graf von Schlippenbach on Schönermark and Arendsee. His younger sister Agnes (1812-1857) married the Mecklenburg landowner, horse breeder, gentleman rider and racing stable owner, Friedrich Graf von Hahn . He attended the Friedrich-Werdersche Gymnasium in Berlin and began studying law at the Georg-August University in Göttingen in 1819 , where he became a member of the Curonia Goettingensis . In addition to his studies, he enjoyed student life and also began to write poetry. During this time I wrote the song texts Ein Heller and a Batzen , they were both mine , set to music by Franz Theodor Kugler , and Well goodbye, du kleine Gasse , also set to music as a student song by Friedrich Silcher . Both are still part of the Kommersbuch today . He finished his law studies at the Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität zu Berlin , where he became friends with Adelbert von Chamisso . Schlippenbach had to end his legal traineeship and a first job in Berlin after his father died in 1830. As a testator , he had decreed that the over-indebted estate business around Schönermark was to be raffled among his seven sons and, after the renovation, to be converted into an inheritance under the law of elders. The (difficult) lot that fell on Albert determined his life from then on. In 1848 the desired foundation of the Majorate could be carried out after considerable efforts and benefited from a good economic phase in agriculture. In addition, he repeatedly found opportunities to write songs and published them in 1883. The mansion in Arendsee built under him was designed by Friedrich August Stüler . Peter Joseph Lenné planned the associated landscape park . Schlippenbach was married to Emma von Scheel-Plessen since 1838.
Albert von Schlippenbach was ecclesiastically devoted to denominational Lutheranism within the Old Prussian Union and in September 1849, when the Lutheran Central Association was founded, he signed the "Call of the Lutheran Associations to the Evangelical Lutheran Congregations in Prussia".
