Life

Friedrich Adolph von Burgsdorff came from the old Brandenburg noble family von Burgsdorff . His parents were the royal Polish and electoral Saxon secret council and collegiate chancellor of Zeitz , Karl Gottlob von Burgsdorff (1708–1766) and Henriette Sophia nee. von Gersdorff (1702–1747). Several mandates from Electoral Saxony from the end of the 18th century bear his signature.

As a cavalier, his roots were in Upper Lusatia . He completed his legal training in Leipzig from 1765. In 1780 he was the electoral commissioner in the state parliament of the Margraviate of Upper Lusatia . He had previously been appointed chamberlain, councilor of appeal and secret trainee lawyer before he was promoted to chancellor of the Merseburg monastery in 1783 . After just one year of service, as a thank you for his extraordinary achievements, he received the Kleinkorbetha manor as a gift, which had previously been in the possession of the von Bünau family . Its last representative had died as stupid without leaving any children. So this property fell to the sovereign, the Elector of Saxony, who had it confiscated by the Lützen office , even though there were co-tenants . From then on, Friedrich Adolph von Burgsdorff owned his own manor in the Merseburg monastery area, to which he could withdraw.

At the urging of his closest blood relatives, Johanne Albertine Henriette von Breitenbauch, née. von Bünau († 1813), wife of Hans Heinrich von Breitenbauch († 1813), he sold this manor to her as early as 1787, thereby making financial gains.
