Friedrich Ludwig von Dehn
Friedrich Ludwig Graf von Dehn (born September 7, 1697 , † July 2, 1771 in Ludwigsburg ) was a Danish diplomat.
Life
From 1762 to 1768 he was the governor of the duchies of Schleswig and Holstein appointed by the Danish king and holder of the Dannebrogden since 1739, the court order l'Union parfaite since 1751 and the elephant order since 1752. He was raised in 1750 to a Danish baron.
Friedrich Ludwig von Dehn served in his youth at the Gottorfer Hof . In 1716 he entered the military for August Wilhelm von Braunschweig-Wolfenbüttel , where he was promoted to major in 1726 . In 1727 he moved to a diplomatic position at the Brunswick court, which eventually led him to Denmark, where he was hired as a civil servant in 1739. As the successor to Friedrich Ernst von Brandenburg-Kulmbach , he was appointed governor of Schleswig-Holstein and governor of South Dithmarschen in 1762 . In 1768 he resigned from office, having been ennobled as a Danish Count. His successor as governor was Karl von Hessen-Kassel . In 1756 he achieved unconditional acceptance into the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood and was thus on an equal footing with the native nobility.
Count Friedrich Ludwig von Dehn died on his Ludwigsburg estate in Waabs on the Schwansen peninsula near Eckernförde , which he had expanded into a stately home from 1742 to 1744 and bequeathed it to Baron August Wilhelm von Dehn , the youngest son of his half-brother .
