Gottlieb von Haeseler (Councilor)

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Gottlieb Haeseler , von Haeseler since 1733 , wrote himself Gottlieb von Häseler , (born October 19, 1701 in Magdeburg ; † March 20, 1752 ibid) was a German entrepreneur and Prussian government and privy councilor in the Duchy of Magdeburg .

Life

He was the 10th child of the world-famous Magdeburg merchant and merchant Valentin Haeseler and Maria Köpken. This sent him to the grammar school and to the University of Leipzig . From 1724 to 1727 he went on a study trip across Europe for several years. He visited u. a. Holland, England, France, Switzerland and stayed for a long time in various imperial cities , in Vienna , Breslau and Görlitz . During his trip he was appointed by King Friedrich Wilhelm I in Prussia on November 14, 1725 as his councilor. This probably happened with the not insignificant participation of his brother-in-law Ehrenreich Bogislaus von Creutz (1670-1733), who was the Prussian Minister of State. Haeseler took up his office as a councilor on July 4, 1727. After his father's death in 1728, as a member of the community of heirs, he successfully continued his extensive economic ventures in Magdeburg.

For his economic and political services to the Kingdom of Prussia , Gottlieb Haeseler and his older brother August Haeseler were raised to the Prussian nobility on March 31, 1733 . Together with his brother August, he acquired the monastery estates of Klosterhäseler and Gößnitz with Dittersroda and Pleismar, which his brother Gottfried von Haeseler bought in 1731 . In 1734 he gave his half of these manors to his brother August in exchange for a corresponding financial equivalent.

Gottlieb von Haeseler actively supported the arming of the Prussian army when he and the other members of his father's community of heirs gave the Prussian king the 1237 rifles with bayonets that were in his father's possession and came from the well-known Suhl rifle factory . The family received over 1,840 thalers for this. The rifles were taken over by Major General Christian Nicolaus von Linger for the Prussian king .

On October 20, 1737 he was promoted to the Privy Council and thus tied even more closely to the royal Prussian administration. In Saxony and in the Kingdom of Poland , where his peerage was not initially recognized, took place during the Empire Vicariate on 10 January 1742 in Dresden his elevation to the imperial knighthood .

In 1747 he lent Prince Victor Friedrich von Anhalt-Bernburg the high sum of 28,000 thalers in cash.

In his will, Gottlieb von Haeseler bequeathed 2,000 thalers of his fortune in 1752 for monthly food for the poor in the city of Magdeburg. He also had his epitaph erected in the local Holy Spirit Church for 600 thalers . Although it had already gone out of fashion, his heirs had an extensive funeral sermon printed on the occasion of his funeral with numerous copper engravings from Bernigeroth's workshop . The author of the funeral sermon was the Magdeburg pastor and later Hamburg chief pastor Johann Melchior Goeze .

family

On 22 February 1730 he married in Braunschweig Margaretha Elisabeth Haeseler , daughter of Johann Friedrich Haeseler, purchase and merchant in Braunschweig. From this marriage eleven children were born, but most of them died in childhood. Only two daughters and a son survived the father:

  • Marie (* July 5, 1742: † July 23, 1766) ⚭ Ernst Ahasverus Heinrich von Lehndorff (1727–1811)
  • Christiane (born September 10, 1746; † November 29, 1811) ⚭ September 13, 1763 Karl Ernst Georg von Schlippenbach (born January 11, 1738: † August 9, 1794)
  • George (born January 25, 1745)

His niece's husband was the Prussian general Friedrich Wilhelm von Seydlitz .
