Life

Zanthier came from the Saxon noble family Zanthier , who deliberately renounced the leadership of the nobility attribute of until the beginning of the 18th century .

On October 9, 1710, he and Prince Leopold (Anhalt-Köthen) began his cavalier tour , "because no suitable Reformed companion could be found". Their journey took them to The Hague in the winter of 1710/11 , where they visited the opera a total of twelve times in just four months , thus revealing their love for music. Both of them were particularly impressed by the works of Jean-Baptiste Lully , and his master acquired a “rare opera by Mr. Lully who printed the music” .

In 1712 he bought Major General Christoph Julius Krage's estate Schrenz in the Principality of Saxony-Merseburg , not far from Zörbig .

In 1722 Christoph Crusius dedicated his book Ein Gedächtniß-Vorthel Zum Teutschen Staats -rechte to him, which appeared in Dresden : How it is conveyed according to its most noble foundations; XXIV. Tables; Can be grasped with pleasure in a short time .

When Christoph Jobst Zanthier died in 1724, he left behind the underage children Leopold August Friedrich, Hartwig Ludwig, Giesel Dorothea, Catharina Charlotta and Rosina Augusta Friederica, who had emerged from his marriage to Catharina Dorothea nee von Esebeck. In July 1726 she married Christian Wilhelm von Bissing, the owner of the manor on Löbitz in Spieckendorf, and sold Schrenz as Catharina Dorothea von Bissing in January 1761 to her daughter Catharina Charlotta von Plotho, who was married to the Prussian lieutenant colonel von Plotho.
