Life

Georg Adolph Gottlieb comes from the Lower Saxon noble family von Hardenberg and was born in 1765 as the youngest son of Colonel Christian Ludwig von Hardenberg and his wife Anna Sophia Ehrengart (born von Bülow from Essenrode , sister of Friedrich Ernst von Bülow ). Georg Adolph Gottlieb was the youngest of eight children. This aspect influenced him all his life.

Through the mediation of his eldest brother Karl August von Hardenberg , he received the offer to enter the service of the Margrave of Ansbach and Bayreuth ( Karl Alexander von Brandenburg-Ansbach ). After the resignation of the margrave, Ansbach-Bayreuth became a province in the possession of the Prussian crown, whereby the incorporation into the Prussian state was very difficult, because the two areas were in a mixed situation with other territories.

He was in contact with Carl Maria von Weber .
