Johann Maximilian Albrecht von Laßberg (born 1711 in Hohenaltheim ; died 1788 in Weimar ) was an officer from Saxony-Weimar.

genealogy

He comes from the noble family Laßberg . His father was Carl Erasmus von Laßberg, his mother Sophia Dorothea von Laßberg nee. from Witzleben. August Carl Albrecht von Laßberg emerged from his first marriage with Johanna von Gleichen on Tannroda . The second marriage to Friederike von Berbisdorff resulted in Friederike Sophie Auguste Albertine von Laßberg, Luise Auguste Franziska von Laßberg, Friedrich August Ludwig von Laßberg and Christiane Henriette Sophie von Laßberg and two other children.

Social function

As a colonel in Weimar , he had also been city commander since 1759. Since 1755 he commanded the Weimar Infantry Corps, which in 1806 was also involved in the battle of Jena and Auerstedt . The infantry corps he commanded also formed the ducal bodyguard. He was also the owner of Kleinkromsdorf . One of his daughters, the court lady Christiane Henriette Sophie von Laßberg, whom Goethe called Christel von Laßberg, committed suicide in 1778 in the Ilm . One of its tasks was to ensure peace and order in the city. This was true even in events such as the execution of Johanna Catharina Höhn in 1783. The order for this execution by Duke Carl August was given to Laßberg on November 24, 1883.
