Life

Heinrich Christoph von Holstein came from the old Mecklenburg noble family von Holstein , which was raised to the Danish count status in 1218 with Hinricus Holsatus and with Johan Ludvig von Holstein in 1750. The reception of the Holstein family in the Schleswig-Holstein knighthood was confirmed by the Danish king in 1733. Heinrich Christoph von Holstein was the second son of the 3rd liege count of Holsteinborg, Heinrich von Holstein-Holsteinborg (1748–1796) and his wife Friederike Christiane Marie, born. to Rantzau on Breitenburg (1762-1831).

On March 25, 1801 he obtained a prebend in the Lübeck cathedral chapter , which Christian Ernst zu Stolberg-Stolberg renounced in his favor, and thus became canon . Even after the secularization of the bishopric through the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803, he retained his privileges and income as a canon for life.

He studied law at the University of Kiel and from October 1805 together with his older brother Friedrich Adolf (1784–1836) at the University of Göttingen . During the coalition wars he did military service, first with the Danish hunters, then with the Danish hussars, who were under the command of Louis-Nicolas Davout .

In 1815 he returned to Schleswig-Holstein and took over the Waterneversdorf estate. In 1822 he also acquired the Gaarz estate near Oldenburg in Holstein . He founded a cleanliness association and a temperance association in both manor villages . He published numerous articles on agricultural reform issues.

Since its constitution in 1835 he was a knightly member of the Holstein Estates Assembly .

He was married to Mathilde Susanne, born May 28, 1817. from Rantzau to Rastorf (1801–1835). His son and heir Conrad Adolph August (1825–1897) married Caroline von Heintze-Weissenrode (1832–1871) on January 30, 1852. With him, the Holstein-Holsteinborg line in Schleswig-Holstein died out. Waterneversdorf came through his daughter Lucie Henriette (1865–1914) in 1897 to the Counts of Waldersee . Heinrich Christoph had another son Karl Hermann August (* January 21, 1829 - January 1, 1848) and the daughter Anna Luise Agnes (* April 12, 1833 - February 20, 1912), who married the politician Adolf von Warnstedt .
