Friedrich Ewald von Fircks
Friedrich Ewald von Fircks (* An October 1733 ; † 12. June 1802 in Castle Hasenpoth ) was landowner and Courland district administrator of the district Pilten .
Life
He was the son of Georg Friedrich von Fircks (1700–1776), lord of the major at Nurmhusen and Sehnjen Castle , and Anna Elisabeth von der Brüggen (?? - 1794).
Fircks was Rittmeister , district administrator of the district of Pilten, heir a . a. at Hasenpoth Castle and Kalwen, both of which he owned from the inheritance of his first wife, remessen and knitting, landlord on rudders, candelabra and stacked dangle.
The Jewish doctor Isaschar Falkensohn Behr dedicated his first work "Poems of a Polish Jew" to him as district administrator . Behr had practiced as a doctor in Hasenpoth for a few years until 1775 and was supported there by Fircks. Presumably, Behr got through Firck's contacts to his Freemason circle , which then also promoted Behr, who came from a poor background.
Fircks married Eleonore von Behr (born September 15, 1746; † December 24, 1799 at Hasenpoth Castle), hereditary mistress of Hasenpoth Castle and Kalwen, daughter of Ewald von Behr and Juliane Eleonore von Bülow . The four sons Friedrich, Hermann, Christoph and Nikolaus come from this first marriage.
In his second marriage, he married the widowed Elisabeth von Vietinghoff , born on July 7, 1800 in the parish of Neuhausen . von Simolin (baptized March 7, 1764 in Mitau ; † December 10, 1830).
