from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Carl Ernst Friedrich Helmuth von Oertzen (born June 27, 1788 in Kotelow , † May 15, 1837 in Brunn (Mecklenburg) ) was a German administrative officer and a Mecklenburg manor owner.

Life

Carl von Oertzen (No. 391 of the gender census ) was a younger son of the deputy land marshal and landowner Adolf Friedrich (Carl) von Oertzen (1747–1796; # 385) and his wife Ida Margarethe Ernestine nee von Dewitz (* 1749). He grew up in Kotelow and after the death of his father in 1796 in Neustrelitz . He initially received home tuition and later attended the Carolinum grammar school (Neustrelitz) . He switched to the grammar school at the gray monastery in Berlin, where he obtained the Abitur. From 1807 he studied law at the Georg August University in Göttingen and the Ruprecht Karls University in Heidelberg . In 1809 he became a member of the Corps Vandalia Göttingen. In 1810 he joined the Corps Vandalia Heidelberg . After he had sold his inherited estate Wittenborn, he acquired the Brunn estate in 1812 and was thus the heir to Brunn, Kotelow and Vorwerk. In 1815 he was one of the founders of the St. Johannis Lodge "Zum Friedensbunde" in Neubrandenburg. In 1828 he became chamberlain and, as one of the three district administrators of the (partial) duchy of Mecklenburg-Güstrow, became a member of the board of directors of Mecklenburg state parliaments and state conventions. The improvement of the traffic connection of the Strelitzschen to Rostock was his special achievement. From 1828 to 1837 von Oertzen was a member of the main management of the credit association. In 1834 he became a member of the visitation commission of the Higher Appeal Court.

Carl von Oertzen was a passionate lepidopterist . His collection of around 1,800 butterflies was considered the largest and most important collection of its kind in northern Germany during his lifetime. After the death of his widow, his descendants handed the collection over to the Regional Museum in Neubrandenburg in 1876 , where it was almost completely lost in Germany in the post-war period after the Second World War . The last remains of the collection are now in the Müritzeum .
