from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Alfred Gustav Friedrich von Domhardt (born August 20, 1792 in Worienen, Preussisch Eylau district ; † May 23, 1856 in Bestendorf ) was a German landowner.

Life

Alfred Gustav Friedrich von Domhardt was the son of the chamber president and landowner Ludwig Friedrich von Domhardt and his wife Agnes Theresia Honorata, née Countess von Leszczyc Radolino Radolinska . He also had a sister Anna Therese Friederike Adelheid (* May 2, 1791; † unknown).

Domhardt began to study camera studies at the University of Königsberg in 1811 . Due to the Wars of Liberation , he interrupted his studies, joined the Jäger Detachement of the 1st Leib-Hussar Regiment of the Prussian Army in 1813 and was involved in the storming of Halle (Saale) on May 2, 1813 . On May 28, 1813 he fought in Hoyerswerda and on June 4, 1813 near Luckau . With the 1st Squadron he was involved in the battles near Großbeeren , Dennewitz , Leipzig and Lier and Hoogstraten in Holland and in the battles near Zutphen , Droste, Conde and Compiègne during the autumn campaign. In March 1814 he was promoted to second lieutenant and received the Iron Cross, 2nd class. From 1815 to 1817 he was stationed in Poznan and then asked for his release.

Domhardt resumed his studies and had already passed his examination as an auscultator when, at the request of his family, after the death of his father, he took over the management of the estates in Worienen. However, years later he had to sell the goods and in 1832 he leased the Egdeln estate near Landsberg . In 1837, after the majorate , he came into possession of the goods of his uncle Otto Heinrich Friedrich von Domhardt (1756–1835) in Bestendorf , Wilmsdorf and Schrombehnen in the Prussian Eylau district .

In 1851 King Friedrich Wilhelm IV appointed him Knight of Honor of the Order of St. John and after the restoration of the Protestant Balley Brandenburg he joined the Prussian Provincial Cooperative of the Order.

On May 11, 1840, he married Franziska von Rosenberg-Gruszinska. They had eight children together:

  • Johanna Therese Wilhelmina Augusta (born April 14, 1841; † unknown);
  • Alfred Ludwig Franz Friedrich (born May 12, 1842; † August 26, 1862 in Allerheiligen Monastery ), student;
  • Ernestine (born November 26, 1843 in Bestendorf; † February 16, 1893 in Berlin) ∞ Carl Ludwig Ferdinand Freiherr von der Goltz (1837–1918), lord of Wolfshöhe near Nordenburg, Prussian lieutenant colonel and landlord;
  • Auguste Therese Friederike (born October 22, 1845; † unknown);
  • Franziska Pauline (born October 14, 1846; † unknown);
  • Gebhard Lebrecht Fürchtegott (born June 18, 1847; † 1896);
  • Franz Ludwig Wilhelm (born March 19, 1850; † unknown);
  • Gertrud Marie (born January 5, 1852; † 1929) ∞ Georg Graf zu Dohna (1850–1912), landowner in Wundlacken and owner of Finckenstein Castle .

After Domhardt's death, the property passed to his eldest son Alfred, who, as a law student in Heidelberg, had a fatal accident while climbing the bell tower of the All Saints Monastery , so that his son Gebhard Lebrecht Fürchtegott took over the inheritance.

When Gut Bestendorf passed into Polish state ownership in 1945 after the last owner had fled, it had meanwhile reached an area of ​​5,435 hectares, 2,800 hectares of which were used for agriculture and 2,465 hectares for forestry. Trakehner were bred and over 2000 livestock were kept.

Trivia

While Domhardt was trying to maintain the family property in Worienen, in 1818 he met Elisabeth Zimmer (born November 6, 1797 in Kissitten ; † unknown), who was employed as a maid on the farm. Together they had five illegitimate children:

  • Friedrich Ludwig Alfred Zimmer (born October 3, 1819 in Worienen; † unknown);
  • Juliane Elisabeth Theresia Zimmer (* August 1823; † unknown);
  • Gustav Heinrich Wilhelm Zimmer (* September 1827; † unknown);
  • Carl Ernst Rudolph Zimmer (born November 4, 1833 in Egdeln; † unknown);
  • Friedericke Auguste Adelheid Zimmer (* March 2, 1836; † unknown).

After the birth of the last child, Domhardt acquired the Köllmische Gut Salwarschienen near Landsberg from Johann Heinrich Nikutowski. In June 1836 he transferred the property to Elisabeth Zimmer, who now lived with her children on the Salwarschienen estate. He also undertook to pay the family 200 Reichstaler annually until the youngest child had reached the age of 16. Even after his marriage to Franziska von Rosenberg-Gruszinska, there is evidence that he looks after his illegitimate children and their mother.
