Life

Bose came from the Saxon Uradelsgeschlecht those Bose renounced the use of the noble predicate that consciously at the spelling of his name. He was the son of the Princely Merseburg Chamber Director Balthasar Bose (1593–1664) and his wife Anna Margaretha von Loß (1601–1666).

Christoph Dietrich Bose began a military career in 1646, which saw him initially in the Brandenburg service, after the Peace of Westphalia from 1648 in French under General Roß-Wurm. Here he made it up to the rank of captain .

In 1654 he returned to his fatherland and began a career in the civil service of the Electoral Saxon court in Dresden , initially as a chamberlain . In 1671 he was appointed thief and chamberlain , in 1672 chamber councilor and in 1674 Bergrat . In 1678 Duke August called him to Halle to manage the finances of the Duchy of Saxony-Weissenfels . He also became captain in the Principality of Halle-Querfurt .

After Duke August's death, he was summoned back to Dresden in 1680. Here Elector Johann Georg III stepped . just starting his reign. He made him the director of the chamber and mountain council. Around this time, Bose acquired a town house originally built in the middle of the 16th century in Dresden's old town at Schössergasse 16. He had the house converted into a three-storey aristocratic house in the early Baroque style. The Bose family coat of arms was attached to the portal in Schössergasse. Another special feature of the house was a richly decorated bay window in Sporergasse in the style of the palace in the Great Garden . Gilded leather wallpapers and richly decorated ceilings were installed inside the building, later named “Bose's House”. From 1722 to 1832, the Bose House was the repository of the armory of the Saxon electors and kings.

In 1682 Bose was appointed the Real Secret War Council and at the same time head of the War Chancellery. That was the supreme military authority of the newly founded standing army of Saxony. In 1683, Bose received the dignity of a Real Secret War Council. With the war-loving Elector Johann Georg III. he went back to the field and took part in several acts of war, including the siege of Mainz (1689) . In 1691 he bought the Nickern manor near Dresden from the royal Polish and electoral Saxon war commissioner and imperial captain, Carl Rudolf von Carlowitz .

In 1692 he became Real Privy Councilor and was confirmed as such by August the Strong after he took office. As a diplomat for Saxony, he has participated in numerous important conferences and has been an envoy at both imperial and princely courts. In 1690 he was present in Augsburg when Joseph I was elected Roman-German king as a representative of the Electorate of Saxony. It wasn't until the age of 76 that Bose was fired from civil service.

family

After returning from France, he married Ursula von Gustedt (1636–1694) daughter of Joachim Johannes von Gustedt , canon in Magdeburg, heir of Dersheim and Bexheim, on September 20, 1655 . He had a total of 13 children with her, including sons:

Two other sons died at an early age, while another, Carl Ernst, died in the war in Indonesia at the age of 20 .

His eldest daughter Ursula Margaretha married the Bergrat Hans Carl von Carlowitz in 1675 . Johanna Eleonore (born April 26, 1661; † April 4, 1718) married Lieutenant General Thomas Friedrich von Bornstedt (born February 16, 1655; † October 28, 1697). Christiane Elisabeth (* September 21, 1668; † October 4, 1709) married Adolph Friedrich von Below (* April 23, 1656; † November 25, 1729) on October 26, 1700 in Dresden. Sophie Luise († 1692) was married to Hans Wilhelm von Seebach (* May 14, 1651; † July 20, 1725).

By marrying Ursula von Gustedt, Christoph Dietrich Bose had come into possession of the goods in Mölbis and in neighboring Trages south of Leipzig , even if he had to sell his manor Großkayna (near Frankleben ) in return. The village of Mölbis owed a lot to Christoph Dietrich Bose.
