Life

origin

August Friedrich Graf von Seydewitz came from the old Saxon noble family von Seydewitz and was the son of Curt Friedrich von Seydewitz and his wife Charlotte Juliane née von Bünau . After the secularization, his ancestors received the Pülswerda estate, which belonged to the dissolved Benedictine convent Heilig Kreuz in Meißen , in 1568.

For his service in the imperial court, he received the 1731 Empire baron . On February 23, 1743 he was raised to the rank of imperial count . Since he died unmarried, Emperor Joseph II transferred the status of imperial count to his nephew Curt Gottlob Graf von Seydewitz on July 10, 1775 .

With his brother Curt Friedrich von Seydewitz, he made a settlement about his father's goods. The latter received the Pülswerda estate . His brother Caspar Adolph von Seydewitz, however, had acquired the Kranichau estate by buying it again in 1733 at the latest. Another brother was Carl Gottlob von Seydewitz, who lived in Grimma in 1733 and as a major in Freyburg in 1746.

He last worked as a Konkommissar in the Reichstag. He stayed mostly in Vienna, but also in Frankfurt am Main and Regensburg.
