Carl von Seckendorff
Carl August Georg Freiherr von Seckendorff , from 1816 Count von Seckendorff (born January 5, 1800 in Gera ; † January 2, 1870 ) was a Prussian upper mountain ridge.
Life
He came from the Frankish noble family von Seckendorff , specifically the Gudent line. One of their representatives, the imperial field marshal Friedrich Heinrich Freiherr von Seckendorff (1673–1763), had been raised to the rank of imperial count, but had left no sons.
Adolph Franz Carl Freiherr von Seckendorff , who was raised to the rank of count in 1816, and his wife Amalie Sophie Elisabeth, born Countess von Hardenberg (1767–1848), were his parents.
Like many of his family members, Carl von Seckendorff embarked on an administrative career and entered the service of the King of Prussia . In 1826 he was first secretary in the Oberbergamt in Brieg , two years later he moved to Halle (Saale) in this position . In 1832 he was promoted to mountain assessor there .
In 1833 Carl Graf von Seckendorff became a member of the Dürrenberg Salt Office . In 1839 he was appointed mountain master in Dürrenberg. In 1841 Carl Graf von Seckendorff moved to Dortmund in the Ruhr area as a senior mining authority. After the death of Oberbergrats Perleberg, he was transferred from Dortmund to the Oberbergamt in Halle on September 1, 1843. On March 13, 1844 he was appointed Oberbergrat by the King of Prussia.
Due to a poor state of health, which made several cures in the Bohemian Karlovy Vary necessary, Count von Seckendorf applied for dismissal from the civil service at the age of 50, which was approved on April 1, 1850 with the approval of a pension. Count von Seckendorff lived in retirement for almost 20 years. He died at the age of 70 on January 2, 1870.
