Coat of arms of the noble family von Lilienfeld

Karl Gustav (the disciple) von Lilienfeld (* 1711 in Addinal , Tsarist Russia ; † April 12, 1759 in Tomsk , Russian Empire ) was a Baltic nobleman, chamberlain to the Duchess Anna of Braunschweig and later the Tsarina Anna of Russia (1693–1740 ) and Council of Churches in Saint Petersburg.

Life

St. Anne's Church (1834) in Saint Petersburg

Since 1736 he served as a lieutenant in the Guards on horseback in Saint Petersburg and was adjutant of Field Marshal Count Peter Lacy . In 1740 he advanced to Rittmeister and served the Duchess Anna of Braunschweig as chamberlain , then he was chamberlain to the regent Anna of Russia and in 1742 was appointed " Real Chamberlain " to Empress Elisabeth of Russia. From 1740 he was a councilor of St. Anne's Church in Saint Petersburg. In 1744 he and his wife, whom he had met at Anna von Braunschweig's, were sent into exile in Siberia . His younger brother Jakob Heinrich von Lilienfeld (1716–1785), who was a socially critical writer, resigned from the Russian service for this very reason.

Origin and family

Karl Gustav von Lilienfeld came from the Baltic noble family von Lilienfeld , who was accepted into the Swedish nobility by Queen Christine in 1650 as "Lilljefelt".
