Life

August Friedrich Ludolph Schaumann was born at the time of the Electorate of Hanover - and in the year before the French Revolution - in the Burgstrasse of Hanover as the son of a lawyer and a born von Lüde , a long-established Hanoverian patrician family who formerly belonged to the merchants' guild . However, he grew up with his grandparents, "at the Marktkirchhofe, the front of the house less than five steps from the high market church decorated with tombstones " in the former sexton's house .

The young Schaumburg became a soldier at the age of 16 , but at the age of 21 he said goodbye to the military and was accommodated by his father as a post-apprentice in the Hinüber'schen Posthof "in front of the Steinthore zu Hannover " on Celler Strasse .

But during the Napoleonic Wars, also in Hanover during the so-called “ French era ”, when the French general Édouard Adolphe Mortier initiated ten years of foreign rule over the city with the occupation of Hanover, Schaumann fought as an officer in the Royal German, in “ The King's German Legion ”in the service of the British Empire . In the church book of the Aegidienkirche , Schaumann was named “Großbritt. Deputy-Assistant, Commissary General, General-War Commissair ”. Schaumann survived the war, but his brother Wilhelm was killed as a "captain" in the battle of Waterloo .

Schaumann experienced the end of the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover and the heyday of the Kingdom of Hanover at the beginning of industrialization . With his wife Charlotte Schwabe he had the daughter Adele Graebe (born June 25, 1828 in Hanover; † October 23, 1894 in Hildesheim; first marriage to the merchant Otto Graebe, born August 7, 1817 in Braunschweig; † September 17 1848 in Magdeburg), who later married Bernhard Hugo von Holleuffer , the Royal Prussian First Stallmeister at the Hanover Military Riding Institute .

August Schaumann was buried in the garden cemetery, but his tomb is no longer there today.

The - listed - grave of Schaumann's father can still be found in the old St. Nikolai cemetery .

Remarks

↑ Deviating from this, Henning Rischbieter names Hannoversches Lesebuch… (see literature) August Ludolf Friedrich Schaumann

↑ Note: The word "von Lünde" is actually mentioned in the partial copy in Henning Rischbieter's Hannoversches Lesebuch (see literature, p. 185) in connection with a visitor. It is possible, however, that Schaumann's mother was a member of the von Lünde patrician family
