Friedrich Wilhelm Ernst von Heydwolff (born December 20, 1747 in Elnhausen near Marburg , † June 19, 1824 at Gut Germershausen ) was a German squire , member of parliament and hereditary lord of Germershausen.

Life

Friedrich von Heydwolff came from a merchant family who came to Marburg from southern Germany , whose nobility was recognized on the basis of an imperial coat of arms after the acquisition of the Germershausen manor in 1511. In 1741 the family was accepted into the Althessian knighthood . Friedrich's parents were Johann Friedrich von Heydwolff (1695–1762) and his second wife Marie Charlotte von Knobelsdorff (1710–1766). Johann Friedrich von Heydwolff bought Elnhausen Castle , where Friedrich was born, from Johann Adolph von Vultée in 1747 .

From 1764 to 1767 Friedrich was a page at the landgrave's court in Kassel . He then became an ensign in the 3rd Guards Regiment. 1772 was elected to one of the head directors of the knightly foundation Kaufungen .

During the existence of the Kingdom of Westphalia , Friedrich von Heydwolff was a member of the Imperial Estates of the Kingdom of Westphalia in the group of "landowners" from 1808 to 1810 .

Heydwolff was a co-founder of the Masonic Lodge "Marc Aurel zum Flammenden Stern" in Marburg in 1812 and must therefore have joined Freemasonry earlier. He was a representative of the "Great Mother Lodge of the Kingdom of Westphalia".
