Life

Louis von Engelbrechten came from the Hanover branch of the (von) Engelbrecht (en) family . He studied law at the University of Göttingen and became a member of the Corps Bremensia there in 1838 . After completing his studies, he joined the Hanoverian civil service as an auditor in 1843 . When administration and justice were separated in Hanover in 1852, he was appointed magistrate at the newly established Bersenbrück district court and in 1859 as police director in Celle . In 1862 he succeeded the Hanover General Police Director Karl Wermuth . As General Police Director, he was responsible for the entire passport and foreign affairs in the Kingdom of Hanover . Under Engelbrechten's leadership, the residence police in Hanover lost the great influence in the kingdom that had been developed by its predecessor. Because of his office, he was a full member of the Hanover State Council . After the annexation of Hanover by Prussia in 1866, he became a bailiff in 1868 and later a district chief in the Gronau (Leine) department . He remained in this office, promoted to the Prussian Privy Councilor in 1874, until the office was abolished by the district reform in 1885.

Since 1850 he was married to Amalie Ernestine Katharine Komtesse von Münnich (1824-1893), a daughter of the Oldenburg Lord Chamberlain Friedrich Franz von Münnich (1788-1870) and Luise von Plessen (1790-1876).
