Ferdinand von Bültzingslöwen , actually Adolph Heinrich Ludwig Friedrich von Bültzingslöwen (born February 23, 1808 in Lübeck , † August 21, 1882 in Hosterwitz ), was a German officer and geodesist . He was the maternal grandfather of the painter Paula Modersohn-Becker .

Live and act

Von Bültzingslöwen comes from a family of officers, the Thuringian noble family Bültzingslöwen . His father was the former captain Günther Karl Wilhelm von Bültzingslöwen (* 1755 in Haynrode ; † 1822 in Lübeck), who had settled in Lübeck and worked here as a technical drawing teacher. His mother Anna Luise Deckner (* 1782; † September 2, 1819) died when he was eleven years old, his father when he was 14 years old.

Von Bültzingslöwen and his sister Caroline came to Haynrode . A relative made it possible for him to attend war school so that he could pursue an officer career.

Presumably mediated by friends from his childhood like Ernst Deecke , he became an officer in the Lübeck contingent of the armed forces and rose to the position of city ​​commandant of Lübeck. In the German War of 1866 he commanded the Lübeck battalion of the Oldenburg-Hanseatic Brigade as a major .

In addition to his military duties, he worked as a geodesist on behalf of the Lübeck Senate and, among other things, measured the properties of the Parcham Foundation until 1840 and the land in front of the Mühlentor in 1850, and reported on it in the context of the lectures of the Society for the Promotion of Charitable Activities . Werner von Siemens took field measurement lessons from him as a teenager , and Bültzingslöwen suggested that he apply to the engineer corps of the Prussian army in Berlin. From 1865 to 1870 Ferdinand von Bültzingslöwen was Ludwig Heller's successor, master of the chair in the Johannisloge Zum Füllhorn in Lübeck.
