There was another son from an extramarital relationship: Gustav Ludwig Moltke, whose son Maximilian Leopold Moltke became a well-known German poet and publicist.

Life

After the death of his father in 1781, Carl von Moltke took over the Schorssow manor and introduced the cultivation of red clover there. He was the first to grow rape in large quantities and he intensified horse and sheep breeding, and he also ran a genever and oil factory. He later joined the ducal services of Mecklenburg-Strelitz in the 1780s and was appointed chamberlain in 1786. Later he acquired the Bülow and Ziddorf estates and had the Carlshof estate founded in Schorssow.

For his horse breeding he acquired the thoroughbred stallion Captain Tart von Plegon from Lord Surrey from England in 1775 and merino sheep from Spain, which were used to refine the Mecklenburg sheep farms.

From 1790 to 1803 he had the Schorssow manor house built around 1730 converted into a classicist three-wing palace complex.

In 1798 he was a co-founder of the Mecklenburg Agricultural Society Foundation , where he worked as an assistant in the field of forest and horticulture until 1817.

On June 3, 1801, Karl II. Prince of Mecklenburg-Strelitz appointed him chief hunter.

After the Duchy of Mecklenburg-Schwerin joined the Rhine Confederation in 1808, he lost a large part of his fortune, as well as the death of a creditor and the resulting termination of a loan. In 1816 he had to leave his property and went to close relatives in Hoppenrade -Lüdershagen near Güstrow , later on to Gützkow and finally to Greifswald , where he also died.
