from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Ernst von Thaer (born July 12, 1834 in Panten ; † January 25, 1898 in Pawonkau , Lublinitz district) was a German manor owner and tenant of the Panten domain.

Life

He married Franziska von Dresler and Scharfenstein on January 30, 1866 (* March 23, 1843, † April 28, 1918). The couple had three sons and three daughters.

On September 9, 1867 he was raised to the Prussian nobility, which he himself applied for on February 23, 1867 and addressed to the king:

“As the grandson of Councilor Thaer, as the primogenitus of the family, I dare to make my submissive request.
My ancestor, Hanoverian by birth, was born through the grace of His Most Blessed Majesty Friedrich Wilhelm III. called to Prussia. Your Majesty have deigned to acknowledge his contribution to North German agriculture and have given him permission to erect a public monument in the residence.
His eldest son was my father, the royal councilor Georg Thaer auf Kimmernick, a loyal patriot and champion for king and fatherland, who in 1813 acquired the officer's patent and the iron cross.
The only son he left behind, I was brought up at the Knights' Academy in Liegnitz, studied law, and am an officer in Your Majesty's service. I was privileged to take part in the honorable campaign of the previous year. I am a manor owner and royal domain - lessee with favorable financial circumstances.
With several noble families by marriage and neighbors, I have the wish that my descendants would like to look like them, just as I do not stand back in an inviolably loyal disposition to Your Majesty and the Royal House. "

On August 24, 1867, the Herald's Office informed the king of the following concerns:

Although we recognize a motive for the present application in the honesty of the name Thaer, and also consider the petitioner to be not unsuitable for an ennoblement according to his financial circumstances and consider him worthy of the Most High Mercy according to his reputation and behavior in the previous year, so We cannot consider these moments sufficient for the most humble endorsement of such an outstanding distinction as the elevation to the nobility, but believe that we must reverently surrender to your Royal Majesty the highest resolution on the petition in question. The Minister of the Interior is of the same opinion. "
