Christian August von Taubenheim (* 1741 ; † January 18, 1820 in Schleusingen ) was a royal Saxon court official. He was the supervisor of the county of Henneberg and as such was responsible for their part in Saxony, consisting of the offices of Suhl , Schleusingen and Kühndorf with Benshausen .

Life

He came from the old noble family of the margraviate Meißen Taubenheim and started an administrative career. Taubenheim took over the function of the electoral Saxon (from 1806 royal Saxon) superintendent of the county of Henneberg at the latest in 1774 and exercised this at the beginning of the 19th century. Most recently, Friedrich Bernhard von Seckendorff was at his side as Vice Supervisor due to his high age . His representative official seat was in Schleusingen on the Bertholdsburg .

He gained national fame by participating in the Ilmenau Mining Conference in June 1781 in the town hall in Ilmenau, which was organized by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe . There he represented the interests of the Electorate of Saxony. Specifically, it was about the replacement of the rights granted by the Henneberg inheritance to Kursachsen and Sachsen Gotha in mining against the Duke of Sachsen-Weimar .

He died in Schleusingen in 1820 at the age of 79 and left the widow Marie von Taubenheim, nee. Scharf as well as the sons August, Louis, Carl von Taubenheim and the daughter Wilhelmine von Spangenberg geb. from Taubenheim. At that time August was Rittmeister, Louis Major and Carl Oberforstmeister in Gera .
