Life

Bassewitz was the third son of Lieutenant Colonel and Dobbertiner monastery captain Joachim Lütke von Bassewitz and his wife Agnes Hedwig, née von Krakewitz from the Presentzke family. Detlof Hans still had ten brothers and nine sisters.

In 1705 Bassewitz entered the military service of the Margraves of Bayreuth . In 1708 he became a lieutenant and in 1714 a captain-lieutenant. He is said to have commanded the two ships on the artificial "Brandenburger See" (now an industrial area), on which Margrave Georg Wilhelm had fireworks at night. In 1715 he entered the Swedish service as a major . As early as the following year, Bassewitz took his leave as a lieutenant colonel in Barth's Dragoon Regiment.

In 1717 he became a knight of the order "de la sincérité" founded in 1705 .

On May 13, 1725 he married Davidia Eleonore Dorothea von Bülow from the Plüskow house (* August 3, 1709; † 1769). With her he had seven sons and eleven daughters, including Ulrich Carl Adolph von Bassewitz .

In 1715 Bassewitz inherited 60,000 thalers from his first cousin Ulrich Carl von Bassewitz . In 1725 he bought the Wendorf (later Schönhof) and Klein Walmstorf estates from his father for 30,000 thalers. He later sold Klein Walmstorf again before inheriting the Bibow , Jarchow , Holldorf, Neuhof, Hasenwinkel and Klappenkruge estates from his first cousin Adolf Friedrich von Bassewitz in 1740 , of which he apparently later sold the last two again. In 1749 he took over Hohen Luckow after the death of his third cousin Christoph von Bassewitz , settled his debts and paid off the relatives.

In 1755 Detlof Hans von Bassewitz was one of the signatories of the Land Constitutional Constitutional Compensation , as was his brother Christian Siegfried von Bassewitz.

Fronde against Duke Carl Leopold

Probably the most dramatic experience of Bassewitz 1713/19 is probably his participation (so-called. On the Fronde against Duke Karl Leopold stands conflict ) be sought the absolute power of the princes and called in July 1716 Russian troops into the country, u. a. should arrest the father of Bassewitz as a chief leader of the Mecklenburg knighthood on Klein Walmsdorf. Instead, Detlof Hans von Bassewitz, who pretended to be his father and was arrested on July 17, 1716, was met by chance, as well as Lieutenant Colonel Jasper von Oertzen auf Roggow, Engelke von Plessen zu Barnekau and Chamberlain Julius Ludwig von Pedersdorff. In custody they had to "endure a lot of hardship", after many negotiations they were released by the Russians in Güstrow on September 20, 1716 , but immediately arrested again by Duke Carl Leopold and locked up in Rostock in the white college until October 20, 1716 .
