Felix von Podewils (* 1611 ; † March 25, 1686 ) was a Swedish colonel and district administrator in Western Pomerania .

Life

Felix von Podewils came from the noble family von Podewils, who lived in a castle in Pomerania . His parents were the Danish councilor, bailiff and heir to Krangen and house Demmin Joachim von Podewils (1577-1616) and Margaretha von Ramel adH Wusterwitz , daughter of the Danish chancellor and court master Heinrich von Ramel († 1610).

His brothers were the Hanover General Feldzeugmeister , Secret War Council and Governor of Hanover , Heinrich von Podewils (1615–1696), the Electoral Brandenburg District Administrator Gerd von Podewils (1616–1676) and the Brandenburg Secret State Council, Pomeranian Councilor and Chamber President, Castle Captain of Western Pomerania as well Cathedral dean of Kolberg Adam von Podewils (1617–1697).

Podewils entered the Swedish military service, advanced to the rank of colonel and took an active part in the Thirty Years' War . From his father's inheritance he was master of Demmin and also acquired the Zarrenthin estate . As a district administrator, he was often involved in the administration of the state in Swedish Pomerania . So in 1665, together with government councilor Joachim Kuno von Owstin (1608–1668) and court councilor Jacob Stypmann, on behalf of the Swedish king, he received the eventual lendings to the East Pomeranian estates established by the Peace of Osnabrück .
