Life

origin

Julius von der Deck was a member of the noble family von der Deck . His father was Ernst Carl von der Betten (1796–1846) on Melkof , his grandfather was the royal Hanoverian Prime Minister Claus von derützen (1742–1826). His mother Adelheid, born von Stechow (born September 25, 1807, † August 24, 1868) married Hans Heinrich X. von Hochberg , Prince of Pless, in their second marriage on January 29, 1848 after the death of Ernst Carl von derillen. Karl Klaus von der Betten (1833–1865) was his younger brother.

Career

Cover was initially in the Hanoverian military service. He left the army with the rank of lieutenant . He was the heir to Melkof in Mecklenburg and Dziewentline in the Militsch district (later Hedwigsthal , now Dziewiętlin , Krośnice municipality ). He sold the Klein Berkenthin fiefdom in the Duchy of Lauenburg in 1865.

Together with his mother, he provided for the financing of his brother Karl Klaus's trips and, after his murder in Africa, for the publication of the travel reports, which were only published in several volumes after his own death by the editor Otto Kersten from 1869 onwards.

After Julius von der Betten's death, his widow Anna Hedwig von der Betten had the Melkof manor church built with a crypt annex on the grounds of the manor house in 1869 . This is used today as a Protestant village church. The building was based on the former manor house from around 1820, which was built in the classicist style.

Since Julius von derdecke had no sons, his eldest daughter Adelheid became the family fideikommissherrin on Melkof, Jesow and Langenheide according to the Mecklenburg maiden law . His widow had a church with a crypt built in 1869/70 in his memory of Melkof, which in 1870 became the parish church for Melkof, Jesow and Langenheide.
