from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Eduard von Glöden (born July 8, 1801 in Dümpten , † November 1, 1861 in Bützow ) was a Mecklenburg nobleman and art collector .

Life

Von Glöden belonged to the Rhenish line of the Uckermark noble family von Gloeden . His parents were the royal Prussian lieutenant and later war councilor Gustav Wilhelm Carl von Gloeden (* 1750 in Gollnow, † 1816 in Berlin) and his second wife Florentine von Schulz. Otto von Gloeden was an older half-brother from his first marriage with Dorothea Wilhelmine von Koehler.

Von Glöden was in Berlin until 1828. He soon left the city, went to Lübeck and finally came to Rostock.

In 1830 he married Sophie Albertine Bernhardine von Böckmann (* 1793; † 1876), the widow of Wilhelm von Blücher (* 1790; † 1818) of the manor of Quitzenow, who died in a riding accident . She was the daughter of the royal Prussian captain Hans Bernhard von Böckmann († before 1830) and Margarete Christine von Ahlefeldt . Children are not known.

Until 1846 von Glöden was a member of the Mecklenburg antiquity society and the entomological association in Stettin , collected paintings and lived in Bützow.

Between 1843 and 1850 Eduard von Glöden caused a sensation in Masonic circles. Although he did not belong to a Masonic Lodge, he came into possession of the so-called Masonic secrets through his father's will . He offered the protector, Prince Wilhelm of Prussia, the secret files of the Great State Lodge , the greatest importance being placed on not being known, for the sum of 3000 Friedrich d'or . These papers contained, among other things, according to the table of contents, all the acts of the Grand State Lodge of Germany in Berlin in full in certified copies, i.e. the rituals, questionnaires, history of the three degrees of St. in addition to the instructions for its two architects, also the most secret and most important documents of the secret history of this system, which even the most highly graduate brothers remain unknown. However, the offer was rejected. After the offer became known, Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II of Glöden sent a grand ducal commission to the house on April 4, 1845 to have the pieces taken into safekeeping, but returned them to von Glöden in 1847 when the state box did not show any intention of receiving them To bring property rights to court.

The negotiations between the state lodge and Eduard von Glöden dragged on, which prompted von Glöden in 1850 to publish his work Auf Aufschluss über Meine Ratne des Freemasonic -Orden, with which he sought supporters of a publication. Soon afterwards, the state lodge is said to have paid 7,000 thalers.

In 1846 Grand Duke Friedrich Franz II acquired ten paintings from von Glödens possession for the grand ducal collection, today's State Museum Schwerin . One of them, St. Mary Magdalene with a small crucifix and skull, has been missing since 1945.

Like his younger brother, Baron Friedrich Magnus Alexander von Gloeden, (* 1808, † 1872), the last royal Prussian Major z D (no. 57) and commander of the 2nd Battalion of the 8th Westphalian Landwehr Regiment Gräfrath, he joined with the title of a baron . A corresponding ennoblement could not be determined so far.
