Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul auf Scherau (born September 17, 1711 ; † June 2, 1766 in Dresden ) was an electoral Saxon diplomat in the rank of legation councilor with the title of electoral Saxon privy councilor , who in 1741 became a knight and imperial nobility and in 1763 a member of the imperial banner. Freiherrn status was raised.

history

On August 12, 1741, Friedrich August, King of Poland, renewed and confirmed the imperial nobility and knighthood to his legation councilor Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul as Imperial Vicar , because Ferdinand Ludwig allegedly descended from the Silesian family von Saulberg.

From 1752 to 1753 he had the Saul House built in Dresden based on designs by Johann Christoph Knöffel .

During the Seven Years' War (1756–1763) he worked as a diplomat in Vienna and Paris. On September 27, 1763, Emperor Franz I elevated Ferdinand Ludwig von Saul, electoral privy councilor, and his descendants to the imperial banner baron status.

family

Ferdinand had two brothers, of whom Friedrich Magnus died childless as a Saxon resident at the Spanish court in 1773; while Christian Ludwig left two daughters. Ferdinand Ludwig was married to Margaretha Henriette von Fritsch (1730–1792), daughter of the Saxon statesman Thomas von Fritsch , since 1748 . Their marriage resulted in three daughters, one of whom became the wife of Franz August von Blücher, who acquired Buderose Castle in 1786 .
