biography

The son of District Administrator Johann Baptist (1745–1785) began his career after completing his law degree in 1797 as an ensign in Infantry Regiment No. 27 Strassoldo. There he was only briefly and soon came to the Liccaner border infantry regiment as a lieutenant. As a result, he joined the Quartermaster General (GQMStb) and became a major in early 1813. As such, he was still used in the General Staff, but was formally in the status of Infantry Regiment No. 39. At the Battle of Leipzig he was assigned to the General Staff and was used as deputy chief of the 3rd Corps (Gyulai). As a result, he became Chief of Staff of the Corps. Because of his services at the Battle of Brienne on Feb. 1, 1814, he was appointed lieutenant colonel on Feb. 18, 1814, in the position of Infantry Regiment No. 39, then Infantry Regiment No. 20 Kaunitz and subsequently on February 16, 1815 assigned to the Archduke Carl No. 3 infantry regiment. On June 3, 1820 he was given command of the Möse Grenadier Battalion (now Waldstätten), which consisted of the grenadier divisions of infantry regiments No. 3, 4 and 8. On January 18, 1821 with rank of February 19, 1821 he was promoted to Colonel and Commander of Infantry Regiment No. 3. On November 25, 1830, he was promoted to major general. The baron was decorated in 1819 with the Russian Order of St. Anne, 2nd class, and also possessed the Knight's Cross of the Austrian Leopold Order (1836).

The outbreaks of robbers had worried the neighboring Croatian regions. Therefore, with a total of 16 companies of the Likaner and Ottochaner regiments, supported by a rocket battery, he first carried out a punitive expedition against the village of Vakup (battle near Vakup on May 19, 1835). With an imperial resolution of February 29, 1836, he came to Karlstadt (Karlovac) as a brigadier. At the same time he was given the command of the cordon. In the summer of 1836 the major general carried out another punitive expedition to Bosnia with four regiments (battle near Izachich on July 2, 1836).

On June 30, 1837 he was appointed 2nd owner of the Tyrolean Jägerregiment Kaiser Ferdinand I , on May 7, 1838 as Field Marshal lieutenant and division general in Karlstadt, but remained Kordons-Oberkommandant, and died in active service with these qualities.
