family

Carl Freiherr von Beaulieu-Marconnay came from the Hanoverian branch of the originally French noble family Beaulieu-Marconnay . When the Edict of Nantes was repealed in the 17th century, his ancestors were forced to leave their homeland and settle in Germany. As pupil No. 25, Carl attended the Schnepfenthal educational institution . His brother was the Oldenburg Secret Cabinet Councilor Wilhelm Ernst von Beaulieu-Marconnay (1786-1859), who was also a member of the Oldenburg State Ministry.

In 1804 he married Countess Henriette von Egloffstein . Together with the three daughters of the Countess von Egloffstein from their first marriage, the couple maintained a literary circle in Misburg , based on the example of the Weimar “ Musenhof ” , to which August Kestner , for example , was one.

Career

When the chief forester Christian Friedrich Anton Cropp died in Misburg near Hanover on January 10, 1803, Beaulieu-Marconnay took over the Misburg forester's house, which was built in 1701 and in 1752 the seat of the chief forester's office . As a Hanoverian lieutenant colonel , he joined the Feldjägercorps Von Kielmansegg , a unit of light infantry , in the spring of 1813 . As part of the Wars of Liberation , he fought on May 9th and 12th, 1813 near Wilhelmsburg , on August 26th near Quickborn and Dannenberg and took part in the Battle of the Göhrde on September 16th. In October 1813, Beaulieu-Marconnay retired from the Military Police Corps of Kielmansegg out to his own hunter - battalion with two companies set up. The unit named after him Beaulieuschen Jäger , actually the Grubenhagensche Jäger Battalion after Grubenhagen Castle near Einbeck , was also called the Harz Rifle Corps and was incorporated into the 9th Grubenhagen Infantry Regiment in January 1814 . Beaulieu-Marconnay then fought at Schwarzenbek and Moorburg on April 5th, 13th and 26th and moved to Belgium on June 21st . He reached Antwerp on September 17th . One of his adjutants was Ernst Schulze , the poet of the "Bewitched Rose". After the end of the war he was appointed general of the Hanoverian army and soon resigned in the forestry service as chief forest master of the Hildesheim forest district.

In this position he was particularly interested in the culture of state forests and the regulation of communal forests . He was also significantly involved in the reforestation of the Berghölzchen and the Hildesheim Forest . For this he was granted honorary citizenship of the city of Hildesheim on November 25, 1845 . In 1928 the street on the slope of the Berghölzchen was named after him, in 1939 this name was removed and transferred to today's Beaulieustraße in Hildesheim-Neuhof. In the village of Neuhof / Hildesheimer Wald / Marienrode there is a memorial stone in his honor between the town centers of Hildesheimer Wald and Marienrode . According to the inscription, four oaks were planted near it on November 25, 1815 on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of service by the monastery forestry office.
