Life
Johannes von Schröder grew up in Kiel. From 1808 he was a cadet at the military school in Rendsburg .
In 1810 he received his officer's license as a second lieutenant in the Schleswig infantry regiment. In 1813 the regiment was assigned to the auxiliary corps, which Denmark made available to Napoleon, and von Schröder served as an adjutant at the General Command of the 4th Danish Army Division under General August Nicolaus Carl von Kardorff . In 1814 he was promoted to Premier Lieutenant. The regiment had been in the city of Schleswig since 1815. In 1827 he became captain (captain) and head of the regiment's hunter company . In 1830 he commanded the cholera cordon north of Flensburg. After the regiment was dissolved in 1842, he became major of the 15th Battalion in Rendsburg. During the Schleswig-Holstein uprising in March 1848, he sided with the Provisional Government . He was appointed by her to the commandant of Flensburg and then of Altona and promoted first to lieutenant colonel , then to colonel in the Schleswig-Holstein army .
After the uprising was crushed, he was one of those who were excluded from the amnesty announced in 1852 by the Danish government . He fled to Hamburg and found a job as an accountant for the gas company . On November 29, 1856 he was allowed to return to the duchies. However, he stayed in his position in Hamburg.
Schröder's achievement and lasting importance lie less in the military field; it is based on his geographical and historical studies and his significant contributions to the topography of Schleswig-Holstein.
He was married to Franziska Amalie (* 1797 at Gut Bossee ; † 1870 in Kiel), born in 1818 . Seestern-Pauly, a daughter of George Friedrich Pauly (* 1751 in Buchholzmühle near Dessau-Roßlau, † 1816 in Blengow, today part of Rerik) and his wife Maria Catharina (1769-1830), born.
