Christian Freiherr von Stenglin (born March 1, 1914 in Spiegelberg ; † February 6, 2002 in Celle ) was a German state stable master, head of the Lower Saxony State Stud Celle and author.

Live and act

Stenglin comes from the younger line of the patrician and noble family of Stenglin . His grandfather of the same name, Christian von Stenglin (1843–1928), was the state stable master in the studs of Celle and Neustadt / Dosse and from 1896 to 1920 he was Mecklenburg chief stables and director of the state stud Redefin . His father Otto von Stenglin (1877–1957) was from 1916 to 1934 state stable master in the Rhineland state stud in Wickrath .

Christian von Stenglin studied agriculture at the Universities of Königsberg , Munich and Bonn , where he received his doctorate in 1951. From 1951 to 1954 he was a stud assistant at the state stud in Warendorf . From 1954 he was a stud assistant in Celle and in 1958 he became the state stable master. Under his leadership, the state stud mastered its existential crisis triggered by the mechanization of agriculture. With the conversion of the stallion population and the orientation towards a sport warmblood horse , he laid the foundation for modern Hanoverian horse breeding .

In 1979 he retired.

Of his sons, Thomas von Stenglin (* 1954) was managing director of Spielbank Wiesbaden from 2004 to 2011 , Stephan von Stenglin (* 1956) has been President of the main administration in Bremen, Lower Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt of the Deutsche Bundesbank since 2011 and Jürgen von Stenglin (* 1958) is a freelance journalist, author and dramaturge.
