August Wilhelm von Leipziger (born October 30, 1764 in Glogau ; † April 29, 1829 in Posen ) was mainly a military writer, royal Prussian captain in the Wolfframsdorff regiment , captain in 1793, adjudant general of field marshal von Möllendorf from 1794 , 1797-1801 prisoner of state in the fortress Graudenz , after his rehabilitation, district president in Poznan and Bromberg .

Life

Together with Ignaz Aurel Feßler, Leipziger founded the Masonic secret society “Evergeten” (Greek benefactor) in 1792 , in which he carried the religious name “Charondas”. The federation of the Evergeten was an enlightening secret lodge and a freethinking federation directed against the state, as it presented itself under the Prussian Friedrich Wilhelm II. Feßler and Leipziger got to know each other in a reading society founded by Leipzig, and as early as 1791 they discussed whether a society could not be founded that would work for the benefit of mankind and that would be more effective than Freemasonry. In 1795, together with Joseph von Zerboni di Sposetti, he founded a similar secret society with predominantly political goals, which aimed at the then New French ideas of freedom, equality and brotherhood, which earned him imprisonment.

August Wilhelm von Leipziger was married to Marie Auguste von Wolfframsdorff, the daughter of Lieutenant General Adam Heinrich von Wolfframsdorff. With her he had two daughters, Henriette Leopoldine Idalie and Auguste Mathilde Franziska, who married Wilhelm Johann Egmont von Grandville. In his second marriage he was married to Wilhelmine Friederike Sophie von Steinwehr , with whom he had the son Hermann Heinrich Friedrich von Leipziger on Gut Pietronke.
