Berend Joachim von Mörner
Berend Joachim von Mörner († June 28, 1675 near Fehrbellin ) was a colonel and regiment chief from Kurbrandenburg .
Life
origin
Berend Joachim was a member of the Brandenburg noble family Mörner . He was a son of the captain of Zellin and Klössow in Neumark , Kreuzwende von Mörner († 1643) and Anna Marie von Mörner from the house of Klössow.
Career
Mörner began his career as a page with Elector Georg Wilhelm , a position that he held as a youth and for five years. He then joined the electoral cavalry and rose to become corporal . In 1655 he became Rittmeister in Georg von Derfflinger's regiment . On June 29, 1668 he was promoted to colonel and received his own regiment on horseback. With this he took part in the Swedish-Brandenburg War .
In the battle of Fehrbellin Derfflinger had to be brought out of a dangerous situation by the Prince of Homburg and Colonel Mörner. Here Mörner died and was replaced by Lieutenant Colonel Hennigs , who held the Brandenburgers together and caused great losses to the Swedes. This made him the highest-ranking soldier of the Brandenburgers at Fehrbellin, ahead of Major von der Marwitz and the Rittmeister von Asseburg, Beyer, Burgsdorff and Schönermark.
family
Mörner was married three times. His first marriage was to Anne Katharine von Schaplow († 1652). Afterwards he entered into a second marriage with Anna Sophie von der Marwitz and after he was widowed again, he married Katharine Elisabeth von Sacken († after 1675) for the third time . Children are said to have resulted from the first and third marriage, including:
- Kurt Ehrentreich of Mörner (* 1647), kurbrandenburgischer Obrist sergeant , father of the Danish General Bernhard Joachim von Mörner († 1741).
- Christoph Ehrentreich von Mörner (* 1736), Prussian captain , whose lineage expires with the Prussian archivist Wilhelm Theodor von Mörner (1817–1874) in Berlin in the male line .
