Heinrich Hartwig from Schulenburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Heinrich Hartwig von der Schulenburg (born November 10, 1705 in Schricke , † June 20, 1754 in Turin ) was a Sardinian major general .

Life

He came from his family, which was widespread in Prussia and Electoral Saxony, and belonged to the Burgscheidungen and Kirchscheidungen line . He was born in 1705 at Schricke Castle, which was parish in Wolmirstedt , and died in 1754. His parents were the captain on Angern , Heinrich Hartwig von der Schulenburg and Katharina Sophia von Tresckow from the Schlagenthin family . He was their eldest son, followed by Joachim Friedrich, Levin Friedrich , Johann Christoph Daniel, Christoph Daniel, Daniel Joachim Friedrich and Count Alexander Friedrich Christoph von der Schulenburg.

As was common with the leading Brandenburg-Prussian and Electoral Saxon aristocratic families , he embarked on a military career. He first became an officer in the Savoyard service and joined the regiment named after his family, where he, like many of his relatives, was promoted in quick succession. When Christoph Daniel von der Schulenburg left the Sardinian Schulenburg regiment, he took over its position as commander of this regiment. Associated with this was the appointment to major general. He was the last representative of his family to head this regiment, as his cousin Heinrich Moritz von der Schulenburg left the regiment as captain. Since he himself remained unmarried and childless, Heinrich Hartwig von der Schulenburg bequeathed his entire fortune to his cousin Heinrich Moritz von der Schulenburg.
