Life and career

Wissem House , Troisdorf

Clemens von Loë came from the family of Loë belonging to the Westphalian nobility . At Wissen Castle on the Lower Rhine as the son of Edmund Freiherr von Loë-Wissen (1749-1813), who became a French senator in 1806 and was born in 1808 as comte de l'empire, and Alexandrine von Merveldt , he founded the Loë-Wissem branch. During his studies he became a member of the old Göttingen fraternity in 1829 . In 1833 he acquired the Wissem house in Troisdorf after his older brother Max had acquired the nearby Allner Castle in 1827 through marriage and purchase. In 1840, Clemens had a new manor house built on Haus Wissem. From 1837 to 1846 Max von Loë was also the first member of the family to take over the management of the Siegkreis. When this position was vacant in 1867, but his son Eugen could not yet provide evidence of suitability, the Cologne government delegated the office of district administrator to Clemens von Loë from January 16 to March 29, 1867.
