Christoph Heinrich Friedrich zu Solms

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Christoph Heinrich Friedrich Graf zu Solms and Tecklenburg (born December 26, 1741 in Dresden , † March 12, 1829 in Freiberg ) was an Electoral Saxon and from 1806 royal Saxon Privy Councilor and Chamberlain and owner of the Saathain estate .

Life

He came from the noble family of the Counts of Solms , was the grandson of the Prussian Real Chamberlain and Major General Heinrich Wilhelm zu Solms-Wildenfels (1675–1741) and Helene Dorothea née. Countess Truchseß von Waldburg (1680–1712) and the son of the Russian officer and electoral statesman Friedrich Ludwig Graf zu Solms-Wildenfels and Tecklenburg and Louise Dorothea (1710–1775), a daughter of the Russian Field Marshal Count Burkhard Christoph von Münnich .

Count Solms embarked on an administrative career at the Dresden court and received the titular title of Privy Councilor and Chamber Councilor.

In 1770 he married Charlotte Wilhelmine Freiin von Vietinghoff -Scheel (1754-1790). In 1774 he received the Livonian indigenous community . His wife bore him ten children and died on September 15, 1790 in childbed. The paternal inheritance consisted of the Großrückerswalde manor including the associated properties Niederschmiedeberg and Kühnhaide . In 1787 he acquired the Zehista manor from Chamberlain Adolph Friedrich Gotthelf von Globig and took his seat at Zehista Castle.

In 1789 he inherited the Sachsenfeld manor , which he handed over to his son Friedrich August, born in 1782, in 1807. As a result of bankruptcy in 1811, Sachsenfeld came into the possession of Baron von Müller, who was related by marriage to his brother Heinrich Ludwig (* 1784).

On March 3, 1798, Christoph Heinrich Friedrich, as Privy Councilor and Chamberlain, from Major Daniel Gottfried Wilhelm Freiherr von Stutterheim bought the Saathain estate in the Hayn office with the representative castle , which from then on became his residence. Two years later he let himself be carried away by his advisor Haubold in Dresden to sell the estate to his son Carl Alexander Graf zu Solms (* 1778). It was only with great difficulty that he succeeded in reversing this bogus purchase after threatening to pay a not inconsiderable fine for Felonie . Nevertheless, he was unable to stabilize his troubled financial situation again. He was forced to have the Saathain estate auctioned publicly in 1815 by the Mühlberg office . The new owner of the castle was now the Chamber Commissioner Johann Gottfried Dietze from Barby .

Count Solms moved to the Saxon mountain capital Freiberg, where he died in March 1829.
