Christian Heinrich August von Uffel

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Heinrich August von Uffel (born February 14, 1750 in Dresden ; † November 7, 1822 in Leipzig ) was a German governor , canon of Naumburg (Saale) and electoral Saxon and from 1806 royal Saxon manor owner. He was heir, feudal lord and court lord on Trünzig , Settendorf and Sorge, Hainichen and Schönberg. He was also a knight of the Order of St. Johanniter-Malteser.

Life

He came from the Hessian noble family Uffel (now called Uffeln, at that time only spelled Uffel) and was the son of Dresden court councilor Carl August von Uffeln and his wife Sophie Charlotte Luise nee von Heringen from Ottenhausen (1729–1752). His mother died early when he was just two years old. His father therefore took care of him and at the age of five Christian Heinrich August von Uffel received an entitlement to a prebend and later canon position at Naumburg Cathedral .

When his grandfather Hans Heinrich von Heringen (* 1697) died in Dresden in June 1773, he and his two aunts inherited his extensive manor in Ottenhausen, Thuringia, including the secularized Benedictine monastery. He owned these goods until 1787, which he then sold for a profit. He himself had embarked on an administrative career and had become official governor. He also owned several other manors, including Trünzig, with which he was enfeoffed in 1780.

Christian Heinrich August von Uffel died in 1822 and was buried in the Johanniskirchhof in Leipzig.
