Military career

Before the outbreak of the Seven Years' War, Budritzki moved from the cadet institute as a Junker to the 25th Infantry Regiment of the Prussian Army . A little later he was promoted to ensign , but as such suffered such serious injuries in front of Kunersdorf that he had to go to Berlin for two years to recover . In 1763, when his regiment marched into Berlin, he held the rank of second lieutenant . Due to the war-related departures he became company commander in 1767 and was promoted to major on February 2, 1779 . King Frederick II. Budritzki then made to succeed Major General Johann Andreas Anton von Scholten and gave him the Grenadier - battalion . In the following year, however, he had to hand over the battalion to Friedrich Adrian von Borcke .

Budritzki was hereditary lord on Grabow near Sternberg . In 1783 he asked for four colonist positions, but was only reserved for later.

In February 1806, after his departure , which he had received in 1787 with the character of a lieutenant colonel with a pardon from grace , Budritzki came into contact with Goethe in the course of billeting . His will or his estate regulation is in the Brandenburg State Main Archives .
