career

Resen studied at the University of Halle around 1700 and then came to Italy as a regimental quartermaster and auditor in the War of the Spanish Succession . From 1710 he was a war and tax council in Berlin and on January 28, 1716 was appointed one of the first officials of the General Accounting Chamber. He served there continuously for 48 years. Initially employed as a secret secretary, with his promotion on September 28, 1717, he received the title Hofrat with the right to sit and vote in the college.

After the founding of the general directorate , he came to the first department of this college in 1723 as a secret councilor to the war accounting chamber. After the unification of the two authorities, Friedrich II promoted him to the second director of the Oberrechenkammer in 1744 . After a discussion in the General Directory as to whether the office of president should be removed after von Piper's death in 1752, the king decided by cabinet order that the office of president should continue to exist at the expense of secretary and chancellery posts . On July 18, 1752, he finally transferred Resen to this office with a salary bonus of 180 thalers, which he held until his death. Under him, the king tightened and unified the provisions for auditing accounts.

As a domain chamber registrar, Resen was a member of the office of the Wroclaw War and Domain Chamber in 1743 , which met in the Royal Chamber House.
