Count Hermann Otto Louis Karl von Schwerin (* 1851 in Mildenitz ; † May 26, 1918 in Berlin-Charlottenburg ) was a Prussian agrarian and member of the Prussian manor house .

Life

Hermann Otto Louis Karl Graf von Schwerin came from the Wolfshagen family of the Altwigshagen line of the Pomeranian noble family Schwerin .

Hermann von Schwerin was born as the son of the royal Prussian Rittmeister a. D. Karl Alexander Graf von Schwerin (1824–1893), legal knight of the Order of St. John and Fideikommissherrn on Wolfshagen, and Hertha von Nostiz and Jänckendorf (1827–1914) born in Mildenitz. He was the eldest son and therefore heir to his father's entail. Nevertheless, following the family tradition, he initially entered the Prussian army as an officer candidate, albeit without the intention of becoming a professional officer. He later retired from active service, became a reserve officer and rose to the rank of major of the reserve.

After his father's death in 1893, he inherited not only the Fideikommiss Wolfshagen, but also the Schlepkow, Amalienhof and Wehlack estates, which were not part of the Fideikommiss. His large property led him to concern himself with agro-political issues. Because his family had the right to present to the Prussian mansion , he was appointed to the Prussian mansion in 1906, to which he then belonged until his death (see list of members of the Prussian mansion ). Like his father, he was also involved in the Protestant Order of St. John . From January 1917 until his death, he was Dimitri von Vietinghoff's successor as the fourth commander of the Mecklenburg Cooperative of the Order of St. John. In addition to membership in the Johannitern, he was also in the Protestant branch of the Teutonic Order , the Ballei Utrecht , commander of this order.

Hermann Graf von Schwerin had been married to Marie Freiin and Noble Mistress von Werthern (1860–1948) since July 17, 1879 and had two sons and a daughter with her.
