Life

Joachim Kuno was the son of Joachim von Owstin († 1627) and Barbara von Neuenkirchen . At the age of 15 he began to study law at the University of Greifswald . Just two years later he published a treatise on L. 31st D. de legibus , which was received with applause. Then, under the guidance of Arnold Völschow, he went on an educational journey that took him via Leipzig, Nuremberg and Augsburg to the University of Ulm , where he continued his studies for a year. From there he went to France via Lorraine in the summer of 1627 , where he visited several cities and stayed for a long time in Paris , where he expanded his language skills and got to know the French state system. In between he traveled to the Netherlands .

He returned to Pomerania in 1630 to take up his inheritance, which consisted of the goods Ziethen , Klein Bünzow , Jamitzow and shares in Quilow. He appointed administrators and went to the military as a cornet under Georg Ernst von Wedel for a few years . In 1632 he returned to his possessions, where he married Dorothea von Carnitz on November 18. The uncertain situation in the countryside during the Thirty Years' War prompted him to go with his family first to Stralsund and from there to Lübeck . In Lübeck he carried out orders for his uncle Christoph von Neuenkirchen , his mother's brother, which took him to the Mecklenburg court in Schwerin , among other places . Duke Adolf Friedrich I appointed him court counselor and made him head of the education of his sons Christian Ludwig and Karl.

In 1642 he went back to Pomerania , where he got involved in the Pomeranian estates, which in 1646 sent him to the Swedish court in Stockholm together with Berendt von Tessin, the director of the Pomeranian court and Henning Gerdes , the mayor of Greifswald . After his return he was elected district administrator of the then Wolgast district and was confirmed by the Swedish government after the end of the war. In 1662 the Swedish government appointed him prelate of the Cammin monastery . He also took over the board of trustees at the University of Greifswald. In 1664 he was appointed to the government of Swedish Pomerania . He was involved in various commissions and visitations and in 1665, together with District Administrator Felix von Podewils and Hofrat Jacob Stypmann, accepted the homage of the East Pomeranian estates on behalf of the Swedish king .

From his marriage to Dorothea von Carnitz there were four daughters and three sons. Among them was Joachim Rüdiger von Owstin , later Vice President of the Wismar Higher Tribunal .
