Friedrich Karl August (Lippe)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Count Friedrich Carl August zur Lippe-Biesterfeld

Friedrich Karl August (also Friedrich Carl August ), Count and Noble Lord of the Lippe-Biesterfeld , Sternberg and Schwalenberg (born January 20, 1706 in Biesterfeld ; † July 31, 1781 in Friedrichsruh ) was a knight of the Order of the Red Eagle .

He was the eldest son of Rudolf Ferdinand von Lippe-Sternberg-Schwalenberg (* March 17, 1671; † July 12, 1736) and his wife Juliane Luise von Kunowitz (* August 21, 1671; † October 21, 1754) and the grandson from Jobst Hermann zur Lippe-Biesterfeld .

Life

Friedrich Karl August is considered the last man on Biesterfeld. During his reign he had the brewery relocated from Schwalenberg to Biesterfeld and built the brewery with the distillery on Biesterfeld here in 1740 for the sum of 6,000 thalers.

In 1763 he had the little hunting lodge named after him built in Friedrichsruh . The castle gave the place its name, but was demolished in 1859 in favor of an inn. Friedrichsruh later became better known because Otto von Bismarck bought it as part of his property in the Sachsenwald - a gift for his services - and expanded the inn into his Schloss Friedrichsruh estate .
