Life

During his youth, Schladen lived in Nuremberg between 1781 and 1784 , where his father was in charge of Prussian advertising in Franconia. He then studied law and political science at the universities of Erlangen and Göttingen and was admitted to the diplomatic school in Berlin on December 28, 1790 as a legation counselor. On February 5, 1794 he was appointed chamberlain. In the summer of the same year he visited his father, who was in command under Hohenlohe on the Rhine , and on February 10, 1795 was added as secretary to the Prussian ambassador in Vienna, Girolamo Lucchesini , whose satisfaction and trust he knew how to gain. Just two years later, Schladen went to the Portuguese court in Lisbon as an envoy , where he was mainly charged with representing Prussian trade interests. He stayed there with a longer break until March 1803. He was then transferred to the Prussian embassy in Munich . When the fourth coalition war broke out in 1806 , he was appointed to the Prussian headquarters, but only after Hardenberg's re-entry , whose benevolence he had, he was brought back to diplomatic business.

On September 30, 1807, Schladen was appointed Prussian ambassador to the Imperial Russian court in St. Petersburg . Towards the end of 1811 he left St. Petersburg and went to Vienna , where he was received by King Friedrich Wilhelm III. was raised to the rank of count on February 20, 1813 and he married Countess Henriette von Schönfeld , daughter of the former Saxon ambassador in Vienna .

After a long stay in Vienna, he was transferred to the Netherlands in January 1824 as a Prussian envoy. In Brussels , his inclination for the game involved him in inconvenience, which made his recall necessary in 1827. The American envoy in Brussels, Christopher Hughes, had not the slightest doubt about Schladen's innocence. After retiring, Schladen lived in Düsseldorf and Godesberg, where he died in 1845.
