Life

Löytved-Hardegg was born as Julius Harry Löytved. His parents were the Dane Peter Julius Löytved (* 1836) and the foreign German Sophie Löytved, a daughter of Georg David Hardegg from Haifa , who had married in 1869. Peter Julius Löytved was a building contractor in Beirut, but also worked for the British Syrian Mission from 1871 and from 1875 to 1898 as the Danish Vice Consul in Beirut.

Löytved-Hardegg attended grammar school in Gütersloh , where he graduated from high school in 1894. From 1894 to 1898 he studied Protestant theology and law at the University of Tübingen and at the Friedrich Wilhelms University in Berlin . In March 1896 he became German. In Berlin he passed his diploma examination in Turkish on July 18, 1896 at the university's seminar for oriental languages. On July 2, 1898, he passed the legal traineeship examination and received his doctorate in law on October 25 of the same year. He had already entered the Prussian judicial service on September 2, 1899, but was accepted into the foreign service as a dragoman on February 3, 1899 . On November 11, 1903, Löytved-Hardegg married Grace Friedrich. Both had five children together. Both the oldest child was the later General Rudolf Löytved-Hardegg .

From June 8, 1904 to January 28, 1908, he represented Germany's consular interests in Konya , and from 1907 onwards in the rank of acting vice-consul. From December 1904 he also represented Austria-Hungary and from July 1905 Italy as consular agent. From May 12, 1908, he served as Chancellor Dragoman at the German consulate in Jerusalem . On November 30 of the same year he added his mother's maiden name to his surname, which was widely known through the work of his maternal grandfather in the Holy Land . From August 2 to November 2, 1908, he acted as Vice Consul in Haifa for the retired Friedrich Keller . Then Theodor Georg Weber from Smyrna officiated as Vice Consul before taking over the post of Löytved-Hardegg from November 17, 1909 to May 26, 1910. On October 13, 1911, he passed the consular examination and in 1912 advanced to the rank of Vice Consul in Haifa . As such, on April 11, 1912, at Paul Nathan's invitation, he took part in the laying of the foundation stone of the Technion , which was founded by the Aid Association of German Jews and is therefore under German diplomatic protection , where Schmarja Levin gave the lecture. In 1913 the consulate in Jerusalem had become consulate general, and accordingly the representation in Haifa advanced to a consulate in 1914. In 1915 Löytved-Hardegg moved to Damascus as German consul , initially only on a provisional basis.
