Friedrich of Ompteda
Friedrich August Philipp von Ompteda (born May 26, 1770 or 1772 in Hanover , † March 16, 1819 in Rome ) was a Hanoverian diplomat.
Life
Friedrich von Ompteda attended high school in Regensburg in 1783, where his father Dietrich Heinrich Ludwig von Ompteda was the Hanoverian envoy to the Perpetual Diet. He studied law from 1788 in Erlangen and from 1790 in Göttingen. In 1803 he became Chamberlain of Hanover . During the French period in 1807 he entered the diplomatic service of the Kingdom of Westphalia and represented it as envoy in Frankfurt, Darmstadt and Vienna. After the wars of liberation and the restoration of Hanover as the Kingdom of Hanover , he was accused of collaborating with the Napoleonic regime. Nevertheless, he represented the Kingdom of Hanover at the Holy See in Rome from 1814 . In the time after the Congress of Vienna, the diplomatic issue between the Kingdom of Hanover and the Vatican was about the integration of the former monasteries Hildesheim and Osnabrück into the kingdom and the resulting need for regulation between the Roman Catholic Church and Hanover and the reorganization of the Catholic Church in the two dioceses of Hildesheim and Osnabrück with the Weser as the diocese border and the diaspora work . The concordat initially sought did not materialize. Ompteda's negotiations were continued after his death by his successor Franz von Reden and did not come to an end until 1824 with the circumscription bull Impensa Romanorum Pontificum .
Friedrich Ompteda suddenly fell ill in Rome, and the veil still rests over the precarious circumstances that led to his death . He was buried in Rome near the Cestius pyramid in the later Protestant cemetery , where his grave slab has been preserved.
