family

August von Preuschen Freiherr von und zu Liebenstein was the son of the District President Georg Ernst Ludwig von Preuschen Freiherr von und zu Liebenstein and his wife Margaretha Luise, née Büttner (1731–1799). His brother Georg Ernst also became a judge at the Higher Appeal Court and a member of the state parliament.

He married on November 16, 1800 in Wetzlar Katharina Sophie Charlotte Althof (* July 22, 1775 in Detmold ; † July 23, 1846 in Wiesbaden), the daughter of the court preacher and consistorial councilor Ernst August Althof.

Life

He attended high school in Karlsruhe from 1783 to 1785 and studied law at the Universities of Göttingen and Marburg from 1785 to 1788 . In 1788 he became a Nassau-usingischer government assessor in Wiesbaden and in 1791 was appointed a real secret councilor there. From 1804 to 1825 he was a councilor at the Higher Appeal Court and rose to Vice President there in 1825.

In 1813 he was appointed a real secret council and in 1823 a member of the State Council .

He was entrant of the 2nd branch on Liebenstein .

Until the mediatization in 1806 he was, together with his brother Georg Ernst Ludwig, owner of the imperial village Osterspai . In the course of the Napoleonic reorganization through the Rhine Federation Act , Osterspai was taken over by the Duchy of Nassau in 1806 . The occupation took place on September 18, 1807. The place was assigned to the office Braubach . This ended the patrimonial jurisdiction of the brothers August and Georg Ernst Ludwig von Preuschen von und zu Liebenstein. In a letter dated 22./24. October 1807 to the Ehrenbreitstein government , the brothers recognized Nassau's sovereignty , but claimed patrimonial jurisdiction and police violence for themselves. Only with a letter of March 23rd from the government of the Duchy of Nassau was a final settlement reached. The brothers waived the patrimonial jurisdiction and received a compensation pension of 398 guilders annually.
