Johanna von Wangenheim (full name Johanna Hedwig Wilhelmine Cäcilie von Wangenheim , née von der Betten ; * October 10, 1786 , † March 4, 1860 in Hanover ) was a German donor and is one of the most important women in the Lower Saxony state capital.

Life

Johanna von derdecke was born during the personal union between Great Britain and Hanover at the time of the Electorate of Braunschweig-Lüneburg as a member of the von derdecke family. Her parents were the lawyer and Hanoverian State and Cabinet Minister Claus von der Betten (1742–1826) and Wilhelmine Charlotte Juliane Sophie von Hanstein (1757–1798). During the so-called " French era " she married the Oberhofmarschall and Privy Councilor Georg von Wangenheim in 1806 . After his death, the widow established a foundation through her will , the "Graeflich Wangenheim and Eickstedt-Peterswaldsche Foundation", which she named after her husband and her step-mother and mother-in-law, Juliane Philippine von der Betten (* August 10, 1742; † 1824), born Countess von Eickstedt-Peterswalde. Johann von Wangenheim's significant fortune was also known as the "Wangenheim legacy for the weak old people".

With the death of Johanna von Wangenheim, her family of counts died out completely. The noblewoman was buried - just like her husband before - on the Waake estate near Göttingen .
