Curt Heinrich von Tottleben (born August 18, 1661 in Tottleben ; † July 30, 1724 there ) was a Saxon-Weißenfels resident marshal and councilor.

Life

He came from the Tottleben noble family living in Tottleben. Due to debts, a grandfather was forced to sell sexhas Hufen Landes, which belonged to the manor there, to land to Melchior von Grießheim, which Curt Heinrich von Tottleben later bought back after his financial situation had improved by taking on a profitable office at the court of the Duke of Saxony -Weissenfels had stabilized. He worked in Weißenfels for many years as a councilor and court marshal . His possessions also included feudal pieces in the Tautenburg lordship. At the Lehnhof Dresden, he had also obtained the mortgage lending to the estates of his Tottleben nephews in the event of extinction in the male line. His estate in Tottleben, on the other hand, was a fief of women and thus his sisters were also co-owners of the estate in Tottleben.

family

Curt Heinrich von Tottleben was married to Johanna Sidonia geb. Janus von Eberstädt and left behind four underage daughters and the two sons Gottlob Curt Heinrich (9 years) and Oswald Lebrecht at his death . Lieutnant Christian Wilhelm von Schörbrandt in Kirchheilingen became his feudal guardian in 1725. After his death in 1729, the mayor of Tennstedt, Johann Heinrich Werther, was confirmed by the electoral court as the new guardian. His eldest son Gottlob Curt Heinrich gained notoriety through the Russian conquest of Berlin in 1760, after he had previously been promoted to the rank of count by skipping the rank of baron as a favorite of the Polish king and Saxon elector Friedrich August II.
