Life
He came from the line of his Lötzendorf'schen from the Kurland originating noble family and was a great-nephew of Abraham Sebottendorff. After reaching adulthood, he embarked on a combined administrative and military career. He was appointed Chamberlain and later Chamberlain.
In the military, Ludwig Heinrich von Sebottendorff first became a captain through a free and personal company based in the Electorate of Saxony. His company had been declared the personal company of Elector Johann Georg von Sachsen in 1677. He later became an engineer captain. As such, he took part in the first siege of the fortress of Ofen in 1684 . The Duke of Saxe-Gotha became aware of him in Hungary. He learned to appreciate his services and appointed Sebottendorff to be his court marshal and commandant of the Friedenstein fortress in Gotha . In 1692 he resigned these public offices and moved to Silesia. There he died childless in 1702.
Through the purchase of several farms in Langenreichenbach in 1674 with the associated Hufen Landes, which he merged, a Vorwerk was formed from which a fiefdom arose, which was first issued as a fief in 1676 by the Elector of Saxony. As early as 1681, however, he had to file for bankruptcy due to debts and transfer the property to other hands.
