Life
Christian Friedrich August von Meding came from the old Lüneburg noble family von Meding .

His mental capacity, however, enjoyed excellent vitality, due to which he attended the University of Göttingen from 1753 .
His parents got him the right to the post of canon in Naumburg. After a trip to Paris with his childhood friend Ludwig Albrecht Gebhardi , he was accepted as canon at the Naumburg cathedral chapter in 1762 , after 47 years in this position, the 1806 chapter elected him provost .
After the death of his brother Lieutenant General Ernst August von Meding (1711–1794), he was introduced to the Lüneburg Marshal's Office on February 20, 1795, which his family inherited.
