Bernhard Vollrath von Bülow (born July 11, 1820 in Ludwigslust , † March 15, 1864 in Menton ) was a Mecklenburg diplomat and envoy to the Bundestag of the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main .
Life
Bernhard Vollrath von Bülow came from the house of Zülow of the Mecklenburg noble family von Bülow . His father was the Mecklenburg head stable master Vollrath Joachim Helmuth von Bülow ; his mother Louise, b. von Bülow (1785–1867) was a daughter of Court Marshal Bernhard Joachim von Bülow (1747–1826).
Together with the later Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II , he studied law and political science at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität and in 1840 became a member of the Corps Borussia Bonn . After his accession to the throne, he finished his studies in May 1842 at the University of Rostock and, together with 6 other corps students, reconstructed the Corps Vandalia Rostock, which was temporarily suspended after 1836 . He joined the Mecklenburg civil service in 1843 and was assigned to the Department of Foreign Affairs. In 1850 he was legation secretary at the Mecklenburg legation at the Bundestag in Frankfurt; in the winter of 1850/51 he accompanied the Minister of State Hans Adolf Karl von Bülow to the Dresden ministerial conferences and acted as his deputy. From New Year's Day 1852 he was charge d'affaires of the Mecklenburg grand duchies in Berlin and from 1856 to 1858 ambassador at the imperial court in Vienna . From 1858 he represented both Mecklenburg at the Bundestag in Frankfurt am Main. At the same time, his cousin Bernhard Ernst von Bülow , the father of the later Chancellor Bernhard von Bülow , was the King of Denmark's envoy for Holstein and Lauenburg. The approaching German-Danish War weighed heavily on him. In January 1864 he asked for leave after pleurisy and traveled south, where he died after a relapse in Menton near Nice. He was buried in Ludwigslust at his father's side.
On September 25, 1858 he married in Berlin Matthäuskirche Paula born Countess von Linden (born September 30, 1833 - † June 7, 1920). Carl Büchsel carried out the wedding ceremony . After the untimely death of her husband in 1868, she became chief steward in Schwerin. Her memories appeared after her death. The couple had two daughters, Marie-Louise (* 1859), later married von Gundlach , and Ilsabe (* 1861), later widowed von Ferber, married von Arenstorff and their son Franz Joseph von Bülow . Bernhard Ernst von Bülow acted as her guardian.
