Christian Vollrath from Eyndten

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christian Vollrath von Eyndten (* 1658 ; † July 8, 1706 in Clausenheim ) was a royal Danish colonel and chief of the 4th Danish Infantry Regiment.

During the War of the Spanish Succession , the regiment received imperial pay and was to be sent to Hungary on October 25, 1701 . Count Schlieben, who was in charge of advertising , gambled away the money. The regiment was not ready for action until 1703. The cavalry regiment was assigned to Colonel Nikolas Heinrich Ditmersen . The infantry was taken over by Eyndten . Shortly before the battle of Sibo on November 11, 1705, he reported sick, which led to a dispute with Lieutenant Gumbracht and Captain Wilhelm von Pogwitch (Pogwisch) . The colonel died on July 8, 1706 in Klausenheim.
