Gottwald Adolph von Nostitz
Gottwald Adolph von Nostitz (born January 16, 1691 in Reichstädt , † August 18, 1770 in Glückstadt ) was a Danish-Norwegian lieutenant general of the infantry, governor of Fortress Glückstadt and knight of the Dannebrog order.
Life
He was the son of Caspar Christoph von Nostitz and his wife Susanna Luitgard von Nostitz and came from the on Castle Reichstädt based Oberlausitzer noble family von Nostitz . The district chief Rudolph Heinrich von Nostitz was his older brother. In 1717 Gottlob von Nostitz sold Reichstädt Palace to his sister Charlotte Christiane von Nostitz, the wife of Caspar Abraham von Schönberg .
Like many members of his family, he embarked on a military career. However, he did not enter the service of the Electors of Saxony, but the service of the King of Denmark.
His brother, Colonel Johann Friedrich von Nostitz, in his will deposited in Langensalza in 1756 , appointed him and other relatives as heirs in the event of childless death. The succession actually took place in 1770. But due to his own death shortly afterwards, he was unable to take over the inheritance immediately.
Gottwald Adolph von Nostitz remained unmarried and left no children. There were lengthy legal disputes about his military will, which was declared invalid, which also found its way into legal jurisdiction as a case of a public judgment in 1777.
