Joachim Wilhelm von Ahlimb

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Joachim Wilhelm von Ahlimb (born January 12, 1701 in Joachimsthal , † June 6, 1763 in Ringenwalde ) was a Prussian colonel .

Life

origin

Joachim Wilhelm came from the noble family of Ahlimb from Uckermark . His parents were the heir to Ringenwalde Friedrich Wilhelm von Ahlimb and Maria Tugendreich von Barfuß . His brother Bernhard Friedrich von Ahlimb (1699–1757) was also a Prussian colonel and commander of the garrison in Magdeburg .

Military career

Ahlimb joined the Prussian Army like his brother in order to pursue an officer career. He took part in the Silesian Wars and was promoted to colonel and commander of the 7th Dragoon Regiment . He vacated this position in the spring of 1754 for health reasons and was appointed by the king to command the Regenstein Castle. He was to remain the last in command, because in 1757 he had to hand over the fortress to the French with free retreat. After the reconquest in 1758, the facility was made unusable. Ahlimb received his farewell and retired to the Ringenwalde family estate , where he and his brother had a baroque manor built by an Italian architect between 1740 and 1742 .

family

Ahlimb married Esther Hedwig Juliane von Blumenthal (1715–1764), a daughter of the Prussian State and War Minister Adam Ludwig von Blumenthal (1691–1760) in 1736 . The marriage resulted in six or 18 children, of whom the following are known by name.
