from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Friedrich Kaulfuß († July 1, 1806 in Möckern ) was a German lawyer . He worked as a lawyer at the Upper Court of Electoral Saxony and at the consistory in Leipzig as well as heir, feudal and court lord on Oberthau and from 1794 on Wehlitz.

Life

Christian Friedrich Kaulfuß studied law and became a doctor of both rights.

Kaulfuss became known to posterity primarily through the mediation of a foundation by CC Leich from Leipzig. The latter stipulated in his will that a significant piece of land from his estate should go to the Leipzig Economic Society . Kaulfuss made sure that Leich's last will was implemented in this form.

estate

Manuscripts by Christian Friedrich Kaulfuß are now managed in the Germanic National Museum in Nuremberg, the Saxon State Archives and the Saxony-Anhalt State Archives .

family

He was married to Catharina Elisabeth, a born great. Her two sons were Christian Gottfried Kaulfuß (baptized November 27, 1780 in the Thomaskirche Leipzig) and Georg Friedrich Kaulfuß (baptized April 10, 1786 in the Nicolaikirche Leipzig). The poet of the German Enlightenment, Gottfried August Bürger , got inspiration for the upbringing of his children from Catharina Elisabeth Kaulfuß .

In 1774 his sister Christiane Henriette Kaulfuß married the Leipzig bookseller and publisher Johann Friedrich Junius (1725–1794), who had acquired the Wehlitz manor near Schkeuditz. Since the Junius marriage remained without children, the manor fell to Christian Friedrich Kaulfuss as the next tenant. He owned this property until 1803 and sold it to Mr. Günther for a profit before his death.
