Carl Walfried von Stern
Carl Walfried von Stern (born December 16, 1819 in Piometz in Estonia , † November 19, 1874 in Dorpat ) was a German-Baltic farmer and poet.
Life
Carl Walrab von Stern was the son of the German-Baltic landowner Karl Alexander von Stern. He attended the cathedral school in Reval and then studied economics from 1838 to 1843 at the University of Dorpat , where he enthusiastically joined the student union Livonia , which he glorified as a poet in his early songs. In 1844 he joined the Russian domain administration, which deployed him deep inside the Russian Empire. Most recently he worked for the Novgorod cadastral commission from 1852 to 1855 . In 1855 he worked as a farmer in Livonia and managed the Friedrichsheim estate (previously Wannamois, Livonia), which came from his wife. In 1865 he traveled to Germany for the first time and took a cure in Teplitz . During the cure, he had vomiting blood for the first time , so that he gave up farming in 1872, weakened in health, sold the estate and retired in Dorpat. While he was in the Russian civil service there was no time for his lyrical interests, but he resumed poetry as a farmer and as a reindeer.

Carl Walfried von Stern married Caroline von Patkul in Reval in 1850 . The sons Carl Friedrich von Stern (1859–1944), historian, and Maurice Reinhold von Stern (1860–1938), writer and journalist, are better known from their marriage .
