Ludwig von der Asseburg

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Ludwig August Busso Konstantin von der Asseburg , from 1840 Count von der Asseburg (born January 11, 1796 in Gunsleben , † October 24, 1869 in Meisdorf ) was the Prussian court hunter and member of the Prussian manor house .

Life

Ludwig came from the Lower Saxon nobility and was the son of Friedrich von der Asseburg- Neindorf (1752-1808) and Charlotte, born von Kospoth (1756-1836). Asseburg's elevation to the Prussian count according to the law of the firstborn from any noble marriage took place on October 15, 1840 in Berlin with the issuance of the diploma on July 21, 1845 at Sanssouci Palace . This title of count was also linked to the ownership of the Minorgrave Falkenstein (survey on March 14, 1845 in Berlin). The respective owner of the Fideikommiss , donated by himself on April 16, 1831, had the title “Falkenstein” as an appendix to his name in accordance with the cabinet order of July 21, 1845 on Sanssouci and was a hereditary member of the Prussian mansion from October 12, 1854. First mansion member of this family was thus Ludwig I of the Asseburg.

Asseburg, knight and commander of many high and highest orders, was appointed Vice-Oberjägermeister in 1844, later Hofjägermeister and head of the hunting department at the court of the Prussian King Friedrich Wilhelm IV . In 1856 he was appointed to the Real Privy Council with the title "Excellency". In 1847 Asseburg became a member of the United State Parliament (Herrenkurie), in 1852/1853 he was a member of the First Chamber and finally joined the Prussian manor house on November 30, 1854, of which he was also temporarily secretary.

Falkenstein Castle (Harz)

He was a multiple landowner. In 1816 he began managing his estates. For example, he was the lord of the manor at Meisdorf, where he had the palace and parks prepared, as well as at Falkenstein Castle. He had the ruined castle converted into a hunting lodge and some of the interior rooms by the court architect of the Hohenzollern , Friedrich August Stüler (1800–1865), in the " Babelsberg " neo-Gothic style according to his own romantic ideas. He felt obliged to renovate the dilapidated castle, since as master hunter - like his successor Count Ludwig II - he organized numerous court hunts in which many other well-known personalities took part in addition to crowned heads.

Asseburg was awarded the Order of St. John in 1820 and, after being re-established in 1854, was made a legal knight. He is buried in Asseburg's hereditary burial in Meisdorf.
