Spangenberg (* Göttingen February 25, 1746; † Pinneberg July 25, 1822) and his sister was the canon of the noble monastery of Medingen Luise Amalie Friederike Wilhelmine von Döring (* October 26, 1799; † August 23, 1830). He was married to his cousin Louise Henriette, also born von Döring (born August 6, 1770 - February 5, 1845), daughter of the royal court and chancellery councilor von Döring in Hanover. His son Heinrich Ernst August Ferdinand von Döring (born January 17, 1805; † June 12, 1880) married Countess Sophie Henriette Juliane von Brockdorff (born June 27, 1819; † August 8, 1884) on June 5, 1840 and became a bailiff in Cismar and from 1854 squire on Setzin in Mecklenburg.
Life
Von Döring was a privy councilor , secret conference councilor, knight of the Order of St. John and Landdrost of the Pinneberg rule from 1817 to 1848.
On July 18, 1818, he bought the Drostei Pinneberg for 51,000 marks (27,200 Rigsbankdaler ) and had good contacts with the Danish King Frederick VI. who visited him several times in Pinneberg.
In the course of Döring's tenure as Landdrost, the rule experienced a comprehensive modernization of economy and infrastructure. In 1828 he signed the founding deed of the "Spar- und Leihcasse der Herrschaft Pinneberg", from which in 2003, through a merger of the district savings banks of the districts Pinneberg and Segeberg, the Sparkasse Südholstein emerged . The Altona-Kieler Chaussee , a paved country road, was built between Altona and Kiel in 1832 and the Hamburg-Altona – Kiel railway was built in 1844 .
The political upheavals of the early 19th century were also felt in the Pinneberg rule. The Holstein assembly of the estates met in Itzehoe . The royal absolutism did not end there, however, because the estates did not even have the right to grant budgets. The residents of the rule became more and more self-confident, and the time of nationalism dawned. The conflict between the German population and the Danish state power grew. Landdrost von Döring had to witness a crowd in front of the Drostei in the March of the Revolution in 1848.
The incited crowd had gathered in front of the country drugstore building, shouting. Ernst August von Döhring saw his life threatened and sent an official to the Pinneberg preacher Johann Adam Mahr (1844–1899) with the urgent request to come and move the people to quietly parting. The servant had to sneak back through the rusty garden on a detour to the preacher. Preacher Mahr responded to the request and stood on the stairs of the Landdrosteig building talking to the crowd until their minds calmed down and the crowd broke up again. A few weeks later Ernst August von Döring resigned from his position as Landdrost and died in 1850.
Döring's successor was Caspar Arnold Engel , who was appointed as an interim Landdrost by the Provisional Government in Kiel, since the Danish King Christian VIII lost power in the Duchies during the Schleswig-Holstein uprising in 1848 . However, Engel soon moved into the Frankfurt National Assembly as an elected MP .
Von Döring found his final resting place with his family in the Rellinger cemetery.
