Christoph von Manteuffel was a member of the behind Pomeranian noble family Manteuffel , son of Henning von Manteuffel made by Kerstin (* 1595, † 15 September 1641), Fürstbischöflicher Kammerrat to Kolberg, and Agnes of Blankenburg ad H. Moltow and Zureckow . Christoph von Manteuffel comes from Kruckenbeck in Western Pomerania . His father was a pea meal on the Kruckenbeck and Gandelin estates in the Pomerania region .

Like many noble offspring of his time, he also enjoyed private lessons at the beginning before he attended the high school in Kolberg . In 1640 he studied under the supervision of a court master at the University of Greifswald . After his father died in 1641, Christoph continued his studies in Königsberg , where he also stayed at court. Despite opposition from his family, he went during his three years for grand tour to Italy and France.

He then took over a position at the court of the Duke of Holstein Plön as court master. Manteuffel accompanied both ducal sons on their four-year journey through France, Italy, Holland and German countries. In order to be able to continue traveling, he moved on to the court of Eberhard von Württemberg , where he traveled to England with the older Prince Johann Friedrich , but the prince died unexpectedly there. Without any neglect or guilt, however, this misfortune shaped Manteuffel so much that from then on he no longer went traveling and promised himself marriage. After the death of his first wife, he went to Strasbourg, where his niece Katharina Elisabeth von Wachholz was already resident and married into the Alsatian patrician family Wurmser von Vendenheim . There he married Benigna Salome von Dettlingen, daughter of an Alsatian noble family. Through this marriage he came into possession of the castle and village of Breuschwickersheim .

After repeatedly recovering from illnesses, he died in Strasbourg in 1688 after 9 a.m. on a Sunday morning after a serious illness (breast disease). On December 15, 1688, his body was transferred from Strasbourg to the church in Breuschwickersheim, where he was buried.
