Claus von Oertzen
Claus von Oertzen (born October 25, 1638 , † January 3, 1694 ) was a royal Danish major general and chief of the Baudissin cavalry regiment. He was for a time the lord of the manor on Bramstedt and heir of Scharstoff and Rederank near Satow (from 1688). His parents were Claus von Oertzen (* March 29, 1606; † August 21, 1638) - heir of Gorow - and his wife Dorothea von Reventlow (* February 2, 1607; † February 2, 1670).
Life
He was a page at Duke Christian Ludwig of Braunschweig-Lüneburg . He then entered the Swedish military service and was there on July 14, 1670 Rittmeister. In the same year he switched to Danish services. There he came as a Rittmeister in the Holstein National Equestrian Regiment under Henrik Sehestedt. On May 22, 1675 he was proposed to lieutenant colonel and as such moved in 1667 to the Schleswigsche National Reiter-Regiment. In the Battle of Lund he was shot wounded. The squadron was on the left wing and attacked three times. As a result, she had lost all officers, only the quartermaster came back. On February 8, 1677, he was questioned as a witness in the Sandberg affair. He was then a lieutenant colonel in the Schleswig National Rider Regiment under Conrad von Reventlow. But in September 1677 he became commander of the Gottfried Rauch regiment. In 1678 he became a colonel and chief of the cavalry regiment. In April 1678 he came to Landskrona . On April 20, 1678 he was sent out with 150 men to scout Kristianstad . In July 1679 he became chief of the Holsteiner Reiter Regiment. He waived advertising money of 600 thalers because he thought the regiment was too bad. In autumn 1678 he asked for his remaining wages and for his departure. Instead of him, Colonel Bernstorff took over the completion. Oertzen probably retired to his estate, where he died in 1694.
