Life

Origin and family

Ferdinand Franz Adolf von Landsberg zu Erwitte was the son of Daniel Dietrich von Landsberg zu Erwitte (1615-183, officer and Landdrost) and his wife Anna Margarethe Reichsfreiin Raitz von Frentz zu Frentz and Kendenich († 1643) and came from the noble family von Landsberg . His mother died in childbed after he was born. His father's second marriage to Anna Katharina von Plettenberg was short-lived, as Anna died a month after the wedding. From the third marriage with Jutta Antonette von und zu Leyen and Bongard (1633–1704) came the sons Franz Anton (1656–1727, Erbdroste), Franz Dietrich (1659–1727, Canon and politician), Franz Johann (1660–1726, Canon) and Franz Ludolf (1668–1732, Canon).
