Gebhard Johann Achaz von Alvensleben (born August 21, 1764 in Neugattersleben , † April 23, 1840 in Woltersdorf ) was the landlord in Randau and Woltersdorf.

Life

He came from the Low German noble family von Alvensleben and was the third son of the electoral Hanoverian secret war council Gebhard August II. Von Alvensleben (1709–1779) from Neugattersleben and his second wife Helena von Alvensleben (1745–1784) from Eichenbarleben and brother of the Prussian minister Count Philipp Karl von Alvensleben (1745–1802). His first marriage was to Karoline von Radecke (1772-1812) and had four children with her. His daughter Amalie (born September 18, 1792, † October 28, 1854) married the future Prussian Prime Minister and Minister of War , General Ernst von Pfuel , on September 11, 1832 . Alvensleben's second marriage was Friederike Nantke (1806–1847).

After brief studies at the University of Halle , he began a military career in 1783, and in 1792 became regimental adjutant to Lieutenant General von Reppert. As such, he took part in the campaign against the French in Flanders and Zweibrücken in 1793. At the beginning of 1794 he took his leave as prime lieutenant due to illness.

In 1795 he came into the possession of the Randau and Woltersdorf estates through inheritance. He first lived in Randau, renovated the house there and enlarged it with two new wings and two massive side buildings. In 1830 Randau was passed on to his sons, later General of the Cavalry Gebhard Karl Ludolf and Karl Hermann Achaz von Alvensleben. He was a knight of the Order of St. John and for several years a district deputy in the third district of the wood circle .
