Life

Carl Pogge was born as the eldest son of the domain tenant of Groß Methling and later landowner on Roggow , Johann Friedrich Pogge (1715–1784), and his wife Sophia Elisabeth, nee. Lange (1731–1798), daughter of the landlord from Groß Methling. He grew up among several younger siblings.

Pogge had acquired extensive agricultural knowledge in his father's business and as an autodidact. He was the leaseholder and owner of the (knight) estates Roggow, Zierstorf, Bartelshagen and Warnkenhagen and made significant contributions to Mecklenburg agriculture. His method of covering bog meadows with a layer of sand, practiced since 1817 , proved to be a successful method of bog culture . This form of management, often in Mecklenburg as Bepoggeln called, was the precursor of the later of Theodor Hermann Rimpau developed peat mounds .

Pogge, who was a close friend of Johann Heinrich von Thünen , was appointed Domain Councilor in 1818. As the owner of the manor, he had a seat and vote in the Mecklenburg state parliament and led the humanist- democratic opposition there.

Carl Pogge had been with the tenant daughter Sophie Eleonore Catharina, born in 1790. Scheffler (1770–1797) married. His two sons Friedrich Pogge (1791–1843) and Johann Pogge (1793–1854) were also important farmers. His daughter Sophie Marie Luise Christine (1795–1830) married the theologian (Karl) Friedrich (Johann) Ludwig (1788–1849), who worked as a pastor first in Reinshagen, then in Klaber.

In Tellow there is a Thünen- Pogge meeting place (in the former Thünens stables built around 1815).
