Heinrich Rudolph von Kyaw (born December 28, 1809 in Dresden ; † March 14, 1885 in Kleinzschachwitz ) was a German lawyer, writer and family chronicler.

Life

He came from the Upper Lusatian noble family Kyaw and attended the prince school St. Afra in Meissen . Then studied from 1829 to 1832 at the University of Leipzig .

From 1863 he lived in Kleinzschachwitz , where he had a representative villa built, in which he lived as a freelance writer and chronicler of his family until his death in 1885. He was also the administrator of the Kyaw Family Foundation. The extensive family chronicle compiled by him based on authentic sources was published as a monograph in 1870 .

In 1880 Heinrich Rudolph von Kyaw became an honorary member and a little later chairman of the "Church Association" in Kleinzschachwitz. The association tried above all to set up its own parish of Kleinzschachwitz, which at that time was still parish to Dohna . It was not until several years after Kyaw's death that this could be achieved in 1897.

family

In 1863 Heinrich Rudolph von Kyaw married Elisabeth von Miltitz from the Scharfenberg family (1830–1898), the daughter of the Prussian Lieutenant General Dietrich von Miltitz . From this marriage come Karl Otto von Kyaw and the two daughters Elisabeth and Gertrud.

Honors

In Dresden, in the Kleinzschachwitz district, Pillnitzer Strasse, where he had built a stately villa (No. 8), was renamed Kyawstrasse after him when the street was renamed in 1926. In contrast to other streets that were named after aristocrats, this street name lasted for the entire GDR era to this day.
