Franz August von Gordon (born August 8, 1837 on Gut Laskowitz, Rosenberg district in West Prussia , † November 17, 1896 in Berlin ) was a German landowner and politician in Prussia.
Life
He came from an old Scottish noble family with an ancestral home of the same name in the county of Berwickshire , which has been documented since the end of the 12th century and whose direct lineage began in 1305. John Gordon came to Poland in 1716 . His son Joseph von Gordon received confirmation of the Prussian nobility in 1760.
