Christian Albrecht von Kielmannsegg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Baron Christian Albrecht von Kielmannsegg , also Christian Albert Kielmannsegg ( * October 30, 1748 in Güstrow ; † February 11, 1811 ibid) was a German lawyer, friend of Goethe's youth and president of the court and regional court for the Duchy of Mecklenburg .

Life

He came from the Mecklenburg branch of the von Kielmansegg family and was a son of the royal Danish court squire and district administrator Hans Heinrich von Kielmannsegg (* May 22, 1702 - June 8, 1766) and his wife Dorothea Christine, née. von Düssin (born May 10, 1723; † May 23, 1761), who left Danish service soon after his marriage and returned to Mecklenburg to the Malchow family estate. His grandfather of the same name Christian Albrecht von Kielmannsegg (* July 10, 1664; † 1730) married Ilsabe Sophie von Preen on September 26, 1696 , the daughter of the royal Danish major general Adam Ehrenreich von Preen (* 1638; † 1702), and was after Mecklenburg, where he managed Gut Neuhof until his death in 1730.

Christian Albrecht von Kielmannsegg studied law at the University of Bützow from 1767 and at the University of Göttingen from autumn 1770 . After completing his studies, he became an intern at the Reich Chamber of Commerce in Wetzlar , where he made friends with Johann Wolfgang von Goethe .

In 1774 he came back to Mecklenburg as an auditor at the Güstrow regional and court court. Here he became assessor in 1779 and finally president of the court and regional court in 1795.

From 1795 until his death, he is documented as the owner of a baroque house on Franz-Parr-Platz in Güstrow.

He remained unmarried. Since his only brother Hans Christian had died as a child, the male line of the older line of the barons of Kielmansegg went out with him. He was buried in a mausoleum in the cemetery at the Gertrudenkapelle .

His older sister Margarethe Magdalena Dorothea (born May 17, 1750) had married Georg Adolph von Winterfeld (1738–1805) on Malow in 1767 . Her children now benefited from the proportional interest on the legacy that Johann Adolph Kielmann von Kielmannsegg had laid out for days on end in the landscape of Norderdithmarschen , which led to a lawsuit in the middle of the 19th century.
