Friedrich von Saldern

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Friedrich von Saldern ( von Sallern ; born November 26, 1685 in Aabenraa in the Duchy of Schleswig ; † July 6, 1722 in Neumünster in the Duchy of Holstein ) was an administrative officer of the Duke of Holstein.

Life

Saldern was the son of the district administrator and mayor in Aabenraa , Caspar von Saldern (born May 20, 1641 Neumünster, † June 9, 1722 in Aabenraa). Caspar (actually Sallern ) came from a family of civil servants that emerged from the peasantry and, with his brothers, took on the names and coat of arms of the (unrelated) noble family von Saldern .

Friedrich von Saldern enrolled at the University of Halle in 1704 , where he received his doctorate in law in 1705 . Saldern went back to his hometown. As Hufner No. 1, he lived in the hooves of his ancestors (Huefe 9 by Hans von Sallern).

Between 1709 and 1714 Saldern was the clerk in Aabenraa, since 1715 the leaseholder of the Hellevad mill. In 1720 he was instructed as clerk to Neumünster and Bordesholm to take up his office. Shortly thereafter, as the successor to Matthias von Clausenheim (the elder), he also took over the office of land rent master (chief financial officer and administrator of state finances) with a seat and vote in the pension chamber in Kiel . In the same year he gave up the administration of Bordesholm and remained administrator in Neumünster until his death. In 1722 he fled from the advancing Danes with the official archives to Hamburg , from there to Sweden .

In terms of legal history, it is remarkable that Friedrich von Saldern (von Sallern) was the first ducal administrator in Bordesholm and Neumünster. He had replaced the royal administrator Diesteler in 1720, and the changed title now emphasized that Denmark and Holstein were not unequivocally forming a monarchy at the time.

After his death, his widow, Anna Maria Kamphövener, administered the office until 1724. His eldest son was Caspar von Saldern .
