Because during the Northern War was Mecklenburg-Schwerin staging area and theater of war also become foreign troops, for which the Duke asked for additional funds. In 1716 he becomes a delegate to the select committee of the Mecklenburg state parliament in Ratzeburg . Among them were District Administrator von Lehsten auf Dölitz and Country Marshal Levin von Hahn auf Remplin . Duke Carl Leopold then had their goods confiscated and the inventory removed through his captain and chamber councilor Christian Heinrich Paulßen. At Bassewitz Gut Walmstorf only wallpaper on the walls and some old tables and chairs are said to have been left. The duke had allied himself with the tsar and in the winter of 1716/17 there were 40,000 Russian soldiers in Mecklenburg-Schwerin. In July 1716 the Russians were supposed to take Joachim von Bassewitz prisoner on his estate, but the monastery captain was active in Dobbertin. His son, Lieutenant Colonel Dethlof Hans von Bassewitz, who was present, pretended to be his father and was taken away. After many negotiations with the chamberlain Pederstorff auf Barnekow, the lieutenant colonel von Oertzen auf Roggow and von Plessen auf Barnekow, he was released from their custody by the Russians in Schloss Güstrow on September 20, 1716 . They were immediately captured by Duke Carl Leopold, locked up in the white college in Rostock , and released there on October 20, 1716.

In 1725, Joachim von Bassewitz sold his Klein Walmstorf and Wendorf (later Schönhof) estates for 30,000 Reichstaler to his son Detlov Hans.

Monastery captain

On April 25, 1709, Lieutenant Colonel Joachim von Bassewitz on Lütten-Walmstorff was elected monastery captain at the state parliament in Rostock . District Administrator Philipp Cuno von Bassewitz was provisional there at the time . Since Joachim von Bassewitz had contradicted Duke Friedrich Wilhelm on important decisions, such as the Schwerin settlement, he did not receive a sovereign confirmation. The Duke even had the monastery occupied by dragoons and wanted to prevent the monastery captain from administering the monastery office. There was unrest in the monastery and among the united estates and the knighthood. After the matter was brought before the emperor, the duke withdrew his dragoons from the monastery.

Joachim von Bassewitz did a great job in and for the monastery during his rather long tenure. From the account books of the kitchen master as a tax officer in these years it can be seen that he not only had repairs carried out on stone roofs and in apartments. He had 17 of the 25 women's apartments built. On February 7, 1711, he signed a contract with the master mason Christoffer Grahl from Goldberg for the newly built rooms in the office for Miss Domina Augusta von Finecken. In 1721 he donated silver altar candlesticks with his family coat of arms and a bronze bell with an inscription and the name Augusta Elisabeth von Finecken, Domina, Joa to the monastery church. von Bassewitz, Coenobio Praefectus, Joh. Krull, kitchen master. In the monastery office everything was recorded accurately, including the accounts of his salaries and deputies from 1717 to 1747. In the event of illness, he was often represented by his son Lieutenant Colonel Detlov Hans, including in 1737 when the monastery was revised by the state parliament deputy.

Almost twenty pictures and oil paintings of deserving personalities from the Dobbertin monastery once hung in the convent hall there, including that of the monastery captain Joachim von Bassewitz (1709–1744). After the Red Army left the monastery in 1947, all of the oil paintings had disappeared.
