Life

Stralenheim came from the Swedish-German noble family Stralenheim (Swedish baron class 1696). His father was the chief forester Adolf Freiherr von Stralenheim. August von Stralenheim studied law in Göttingen from 1792 to 1795 and became an auditor at the Hanover Justice Chancellery in 1796 and court advisor in Hanover as early as 1799. From 1805 to 1813 he was a judge (Oberappellationsrat) at the Higher Appeal Court in Celle , chosen by the Verdensche landscape. With the restoration of the Kingdom of Hanover in 1813, Stralenheim was sent to Osnabrück as a commissioner to take possession of and organize the newly acquired area. In 1817 he was appointed director of the law office in Göttingen . As early as 1819 he went back to the Higher Appeal Court and became its vice-president, and in 1820 president.
