Life

Carl Ludwig von Schenck was the patron saint of the church in Wegenstedt

He came from the noble family Schenck von Flechtingen in Altmark . His noble ancestors were originally cupbearers .

Carl Ludwig von Schenck's parents were Jacob Carl von Schenck, heir and court lord on Böddensell and Domersleben, also patron of the church in Wegenstedt and Sophia Henriette, née. of plates . Carl Ludwig was informed by private informators and the pastor of Wegenstedter Dransfeld. He later joined the military.

After Jacob von Schenck's death in 1732, his father received the Böddensell estate. There he built a noble house in the following year, which he later added a chapel inside, where the pastor Dransfeld from Wegenstedt gave the Sunday sermon every two weeks. This manor house, which is now called a castle and is located in the middle of a park, is a listed building. It was renovated in 2001.

When Jacob Carl von Schenck died, Böddensell fell to his youngest son, Carl Ludwig von Schenck. But he strived for something higher. On June 15, 1789, he acquired the Kleinlauchstädt manor from the four sons of the late Quedlinburg merchant and trader Heinrich Salfeldt , which he sold on to Johann Christian Starke from Leipzig on June 20, 1795 because he had found a new home in Franconia. He moved to Nuremberg, where he lived as a Privy Councilor until the end of his life. He remained unmarried.

He also sold the Domersleben manor in 1795. It remained in the family, however, as Jacob August von Schenck bought it on June 4, 1795.

The spelling of his second first name Ludwig was also Ludewig with Binde-e. He was often addressed as a baron , and later his family officially received the title of baron .
