Andreas von Schoenaich came from the von Hoverbeck family . He was the son of the landowner Eduard Freiherr von Hoverbeck called von Schoenaich (1827-1880) and Camilla née Freiin von Buddenbrock (1827-1885), daughter of the Prussian officer Alfred von Buddenbrock (1796-1863). One of his brothers was the later major general Paul von Schoenaich .

Andreas von Schoenaich married Frieda Elisabeth von Ohlendorff (1871–1937, daughter of Heinrich Ohlendorff ) in Hamburg on September 26, 1890 . The children of the marriage were Camilla Julie Elisabeth (* 1891, married to Günther Schmidt von Knobelsdorf, a son of Konstantin Schmidt von Knobelsdorf ) and Major Kuno von Schoenaich (1894–1976).

Live and act

Schoenaich completed his military training in the cadet institute in Culm and in the Royal Prussian main cadet institute in Groß-Lichterfelde near Berlin from around 1876 to 1882 . In the Hussar Regiment of Zieten (Brandenburgisches) No. 3 he served from 1895 to 1897 as Premier Lieutenant and in 1898/99 as Rittmeister . He was then transferred as a surplus Rittmeister, was from 1906 Rittmeister in Hussar Regiment No. 7 and at the same time sent to the General Staff . In the winter semester of 1906/1907 he attended lectures with Otto Hintze in Berlin . From 1910 to 1913 he was Major i. G . In 1913 there was a “Major Frhrn. v. Schoenaich ”as managing director of the Military Society in Berlin. His brother became the commander of Hussar Regiment No. 15 in Wandsbek in early 1913 and a source describes that Paul and Andreas served together in the Wandsbeck Hussar Regiment. Andreas von Schoenaich later became district commander.

After the defeat of the First World War , he died in Kiev on November 19, 1918, presumably by suicide . His widow stated that he "voluntarily passed away on November 17, 1918 as a colonel in the Kiev governorate from grief over Germany's collapse". According to his brother Paul, he died "immediately after the end of the war as a colonel in Kiev".

Schoenaich was an honorary knight of the Order of St. John. He was also a member and lodge master of a Masonic lodge and, in addition to his historical publications, wrote several lectures on spiritual topics that were published posthumously by the publishing house of the Hamburg lodge Zum Pelikan .
