Cuno Count v. Bassewitz (1910)

Life

With the secret government councilor Bernhard Friedrich Graf von Bassewitz (1756-1816) from Schwerin , the von Bassewitz family took over the estate, the village and the church patronage of Perlin from 1795. Their later heirs lived at Schlitz Castle near Teterow , the headquarters of this Bassewitz branch.

Cuno Rudolph Friedrich August Ludwig Graf von Bassewitz came from the old Mecklenburg family von Bassewitz . He was born as the second son of the landowner Rudolph Karl Friedrich Wilhelm von Bassewitz in his second marriage to Elisabeth Countess von Bülow on the estate in Raguth, Amt Wittenburg . His father acquired Gut Raguth from Chamberlain Carl Friedrich von der Mülbe in 1848 and was also a co-owner of Schlitz Castle. Cuno had a brother Friedrich Hans Heinrich Rudolph and two sisters. Lilla was from the first marriage and Alexandrine Luise Klara Maria from the second marriage of the father.

After the death of his father on December 15, 1877 in Raguth, Count Cuno von Bassewitz inherited the estate with the village of Perlin on December 16, 1877. On January 29, 1884, he took the feudal oath and managed the estate in Perlin for 53 years. To study in Bonn he was active between 1877 and 1879 in the Corps Borussia . He had previously done his military service, which he left with the rank of royal Prussian lieutenant.

On September 27, 1887, Count Cuno von Bassewitz married Claire Henriette von Abercron on Othmarschen . They had two children. Kuno Rudolf Friedrich and Gerda Olga Adelheid, b. on November 12, 1890. Son Kuno died at the age of 26 in 1915 as a lieutenant in the reserve as a result of a war injury from the First World War in Berlin and was buried in the cemetery in Perlin. The marriage was divorced in 1897.

On August 6, 1904, Cuno married Josephine (Jose) Elisabeth Hedwig Adolphine Eugenie, b. Countess of Königsmark . They also had two children. The son Fritz-Adolf Cuno Rudolf Ulrich Ludwig died at the age of four on November 22, 1909 in Perlin. Elisabeth Josephine, b. on October 29, 1906, married August-Wilhelm von Gagern on March 9, 1935 .

On November 14, 1895, Count Cuno von Bassewitz was elected provisional member of the Dobbertin monastery for the Duchy of Schwerin for four years at the Malchin state parliament . After his four-year re-election in the Mecklenburg state parliaments, he was also confirmed as provisional by the grand ducal. He exercised this office very conscientiously for 23 years until the state monastery was dissolved in November 1918. His introduction as a provisional took place on March 9, 1895 in the choir room of the monastery in the presence of Domina Hedwig von Schack as head of the convent and the 28 noble and three bourgeois nuns. Then, in the office of the monastery captain house in the presence of the monastery captain hereditary marshal Karl Friedrich Ludwig von Lützow on Eickhof , provisor Chamberlain District Ernst Gundlach on Mollenstorf and master chef Rechnungsrat Gustav Schulze presented the monastic officials and village mayor and sworn in with a handshake. The activities of the commissioner, Count Cuno von Bassewitz, can be found in the records of the state parliament meetings, which are kept annually in the Dobbertiner monastery office and kept accurate until 1918. The last verifiable activities of Count Cuno von Bassewitz as provisional in the Dobbertin monastery were with the monastery captain Hellmuth Otto Maria von Prollius in Stubbendorf, preparing the monastery reports for the state parliament. This also included the revisions of the monastery treasury, the account books and the monastery drawer with the securities of Frau Domina Auguste Elenore von Bassewitz from Schwerin, carried out by members of the local committee of the state parliament from November 4 to 7, 1918.

After the dissolution of the monarchy and the abdication of Grand Duke Friedrich Franz IV in Schwerin Palace , the new state ministry also dissolved the state monasteries. The Minister of State Hans Sivkovich started this on November 12, 1918 in Dobbertin. The letter from the monastery captain von Prollius to the provisional Count von Bassewitz auf Perlin on November 13, 1918 reads: On Tuesday, November 12, 1918, at 9 o'clock in the evening, a car drove up in front of the office, accompanied by 5 soldiers a gentleman emerged with rifles, who introduced himself to the undersigned as Minister of State Sivkovich and asked for an interview. The soldiers stayed in the hall ... after his position had been certified by submitting the powers of attorney signed by the Ministry and the Soldiers' Council in Schwerin, the monastery administration was dissolved, but was allowed to continue working for the time being. Leaving two soldiers billeted here behind, he drove on to Malchow Monastery. The official announcement of the reorganization of the state monasteries of November 18, 1918 was published in the government gazette on November 22, 1918. During the negotiations with the monastery heads on December 7, 1918 in Dobbertin to take over the monastery into state administration, Cuno Graf von Bassewitz , on behalf of the monastery heads and their comits, objected to the government's measures. One result of this negotiation between the monastery captain Hellmuth von Prollius, the monastery provisional Cuno Graf von Bassewitz and the monastery synicus, the Privy Councilor Franz Friedrich Paschen from Bützow with the representatives of the State Ministry from Schwerin, the Ministerialrat Friedrich Stratmann and the Chamber Councilor Wilhelm Krasemann was the survival of the Conventual women in the Dobbertin Monastery with all rights and benefits until the end of their lives. It is interesting that one von Bassewitz was the last lady of the monastery in Dobbertin. Elisabeth Charlotte Countess von Bassewitz at Schlitz Castle died on April 22, 1974 in Dobbertin.

Grave site Cuno Graf v. Bassewitz, next to the graves of his mother, his second wife and his son

When the Count died in Perlin on January 3, 1930, he did not leave a male heir. The long lease at Kowahl only for his wife Josephine . His two daughters Gerda and Elisabeth requested on January 25, 1930, the registration of the Erbjungfernrechtes in Ritter Tific Land Registry Schwerin. Both gave the following reasons: ... Counts Egon, Albrecht and Friedrich zu Bassewitz zu Burg Schlitz are feudal heirs. It cannot be ruled out that the creditors of the feudal heirs will soon gain access. Our maiden rights must be protected against this under all circumstances. The concern was probably not entirely unfounded. On February 4, 1930, the feudal heirs mentioned applied for entry in the land register. They were the sons of Cuno von Bassewitz's brother, who had also passed away. They sold the Perlin estate on July 1, 1934 to the merchant Friedrich Gehrke and Lieutenant Colonel Günther Stubenrauch for 965,300 Reichsmarks. The size of the property was specified in the purchase contract 1360 ha, 67 a and 85 m². The manor house was blown up in 1974 due to excessive renovation costs .

Cuno Graf von Bassewitz was buried on January 6, 1930 in the family grave in the Perlin churchyard. He was Grand Ducal Mecklenburg-Schwerin Chamberlain and legal knight of the Order of St. John . He proved his family commitment as long-time chairman of the Bassewitz family association.
