ancestry

Lüdke was the eldest son of the royal Prussian chief bailiff Karl Friedrich Wilhelm Lüdke , tenant of the manor Brunn near Neustadt (Dosse) and then tenant of the state domain Amt Alt-Landsberg , and his wife Eleonore Juliane Piefke (1788-1838), who is also "Laura" who married in 1806. Direct ancestors are the Havelsberg canon Matthäus Ludecus and the electoral Brandenburg chancellor Johann Weinlob . He was married to Louise Amalie Marie Elsner (1816-1893) and had three daughters and a son Richard Germanus Lüdke , who was born in Altlandsberg in 1849 and was promoted to colonel in 1903 as commander of the Erfurt Landwehr district. This was the father of the general and military commander during the occupation in the Second World War in Denmark Erich Lüdke , his brother Julius Heinrich Lüdke (1817-1892) emigrated to Silesia in about 1842 and took over the administration of the estate of Count Franz von Zawadzki in Ponischowitz near Gleiwitz . In 1854 he married Anna Euphemia Gemander (1826–1908), the sister of the later manorial estate owner and bailiff Anton Gemander (1822–1889), with whom he had been managing the Bujakow estate in the Beuthen district, belonging to Karl Godulla, since 1851. The brother-in-law was the general representative of the zinc king and business leader in Upper Silesia Karl Godulla (1781-1848). In 1873 the "director" Lüdke was named as the authorized representative of the Bujakow estate, which had a size of 3,096 acres.

Professional background

Altlandsberg on the Urmes table sheet 3448 Altlandsberg from 1839.

When Lüdke was born, his father was the leaseholder of the Brunn manor, which is located in what is now the municipality of Wusterhausen / Dosse . From 1823 the father had taken over the general lease for the Alt-Landsberg Royal Domain Vorwerk, which was part of the Alt-Landsberg Office, with the neighboring Wolfshagen and Neu-Werk ancillary works, along with a brewery and distillery and several family apartments. The domain tenant had 2615 M arable land, 45 M gardens and pastures, 260 M meadows and 56 M wood, a total of 2977 M for use. At the same time, the leaseholder was appointed as "rent and police officer and render of court depositorii" based in the town of Altlandsberg ( district of Märkisch-Oderland ), Brandenburg . In 1833 the lease was extended for the period from 1833 to 1863.

The father Lüdke died in 1834. On the basis of a ministerial rescript of October 10, 1835, the widow was given the lease property with the assistance of her eldest son "Gustavus Germanus Lüdke"; but in 1836 a special contract was concluded with both of them for the specified time. After his mother's death in 1838, Gustav Lüdke held the office alone until 1863.

Lüdke was also a member of the board of directors of the Agricultural Association in Alt-Landsberg, which was founded in 1847. The purpose of the association was "mutual instruction and stimulation in the field of agriculture". The protocols show that as early as the middle of the 19th century, agriculture in Prussia was shaped by scientific support and instruction for farmers who not only had economic relationships with the Prussian countries, but also with “abroad”. For example, B. Lüdke found out in a meeting that the Oldenburg heels he bought brought very weak calves.

After the lease came to an end in 1863, Lüdke bought the manorial manor Ober Schönfeld near Bunzlau / Lower Silesia for 114,000 thalers, of which 20,000 thalers were inventory. In doing so, Lüdke obviously followed his brother Julius Lüdke, who had already moved to Silesia. Lüdke sold the estate in 1878 to the royal Prussian major z. D. von Graevenitz. He sold it in 1881 to the agricultural scientist Armin Graf zur Lippe-Weißenfeld (1825–1899). The last owner before 1945 was Major General Jobst Hermann Prinz Lippe Weissenfeld. The estate survived the war in 1945 without damage. Abandoned by its owners and looted by the population, the buildings soon fell into disrepair. The palace was finally demolished in 1976. The estate owned a distillery and 1,221 acres of land.

The whole office, not just individual pieces of land, was given to a bourgeois general tenant, the bailiff, with all pertinences (secondary goods and accessories), police and jurisdiction rights, farms and farming villages, with all taxes and services, with mills, breweries, distilleries, brickworks and other issues against payment of a lease sum. The term "tenant" relates to the private law status, while the term "bailiff" or "civil servant" refers to the state function (exercise of jurisdiction - until 1770 -, police power, control of the official villages, collection of peasant taxes and duties, etc.). see: Müller, Hans-Heinrich, Domains and Domain Tenants in Brandenburg-Prussia in the 18th Century, Yearbook for Economic History, 1965, p. 152, partly digital: [4]
