Life

Carl Siegfried Freiherr Hoym came from the old Anhalt noble family Hoym with the same parent house near Hoym (first documented mention in 1195) and was the son of Ludwig Gebhard von Hoym (1631-1711) and Catharina Sophia von Schönfeld. His older brother Adolph Magnus von Hoym was temporarily married to the well-known Countess Cosel .

At the Saxon court in Dresden he was a secretary and chamber councilor and at times also court and judiciary and appeals councilor. In 1711 he and his siblings were raised to the rank of imperial count.

After the death of his father, Carl Siegfried acquired his property in the Electoral Saxon office of Hayn , including above all Guteborn Castle, which he expanded into his headquarters. He founded his family's Guteborn line, separated from the Droyßiger.

After the death of his brother Adolph Magnus von Hoym, who remained childless despite two marriages, on October 15, 1723 in Ratibor, parts of his rule in Schlawentzitz fell to him through inheritance, an area that was industrially highly developed for the time, which had already been established by Count Jacob Heinrich von Flemming , Minister and Army Chief August the Strong , had been promoted.

From his marriage on January 12, 1702, to Dorothea Sophia von Löben , daughter of Adolph von Löben, he left two daughters and only one son, Carl Gotthelf Graf von Hoym, who inherited his father's property and who was at the castle on February 19, 1715 Guteborn was born. Carl Gotthelf Graf von Hoym died as chamberlain at the age of 33 on March 26, 1748. His son Adolph Magnus Gotthelf Graf von Hoym was born posthumously on October 17, 1748 and was under the tutelage of his mother Charlotte Sophie Countess of Hoym until 1769 (Born on March 22, 1720 in Zschorna, Countess von Beichlingen). In 1756, in the name of her son, she bought the Hermsdorf manor with the associated Grünberg from the estate of Adam Friedrich von Flemming, who died in 1744 . After that, Guteborn is only referred to as an accessory from Hermsdorf. Adolph Magnus Gotthelf Reichsgraf von Hoym died unmarried on July 12th, 1775. With him the Gutenborn line became extinct in the male line, his goods fell apart from Hermsdorf and Grünberg to Gotthelf Adolph von Hoym , with whom the entire Saxon line died out on April 22nd, 1783. Charlotte Sophie Imperial Countess von Hoym and her daughter Charlotte Dorothea Countess von Schönberg (born January 5, 1743 in Guteborn, married August 19, 1764 ibid) moved their center of life to Hermsdorf Palace. Both are buried in a double grave in Lausa , the mother (died January 24, 1808 in Hermsdorf) her daughter (died November 6, 1789 there) and her granddaughter Mariana Amalia Countess Dohna (born August 10, 1779 in Hermsdorf, died September 10, 1805 in Lausa) survived. Hermsdorf went to the former husband of Mariana Amalia, the burgrave Heinrich Ludwig zu Dohna and his second wife Friederike Countess Dohna (born zu Stolberg-Wernigerode). Another granddaughter, Auguste Charlotte von Kielmannsegge , outlived the rest of the family, went to Paris in 1809, became a passionate admirer of Napoleon and probably his Mata Hari as well .
