Hans von Heydebreck

Hans von Heydebreck (born June 16, 1866 in Zützen , † July 20, 1935 in Berlin ) was a German colonel and horseman.

Life

His parents were the Prussian Lieutenant General Henning von Heydebreck (1828–1904) and his first wife Anna, née von Colmar (1837–1879).

He became known to a broad equestrian audience in particular through his editing (and linguistic modernization) of the fourth edition of the standard work Gymnasium des Pferd by Gustav Steinbrecht , which was completed in 1935 . In the afterword he wrote, he referred to the impending demise of the classical art of riding: "If we don't create an institute that trains us to become new masters, the art of riding will be imperceptibly but surely lost."

He married Emilie Lichtenberg on April 10, 1896 in Stettin. The couple had several daughters.
