Life
Hans Wolf von Buchwitz and Buchau was a son of the heir of the Nieder Stradam Leopold Heinrich von Buchwitz and Buchau (1665 – after 1726). While his older brother Hans Ernst von Buchwitz and Buchau (1696 – after 1717), who later became the state court judge and state deputy of the Free State of Wartenberg , remained in Silesia, inherited his father's property and increased it to Langendorf , Hans Wolf von Buchwitz and Buchau struck a career as an officer far from Home one.
He was in the Electoral Palatinate service, but changed to Dutch services in 1695 at the latest and became a major in the regiment of General Ernst Wilhelm von Salisch . In 1703 he was promoted to lieutenant colonel. As a colonel commandant , he took over the Infantry Regiment 673c on May 4, 1708 . In 1710 he was in the field with his regiment before Douai . It was not until General Salisch's death in 1711 that he became the owner of his regiment as a colonel. In 1715 he still had the rank of colonel on the Rhine and in front of Bonn . He later became major general and commandant of Luxembourg.
He died uninherited in Breda, where a coat of arms commemorates him.
