from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Imperial Count Magnus Friedrich von Holmer , also Magnus Count Holmer (born November 25, 1780 in Eutin , † April 3, 1857 in Kiel ) was a Mecklenburg-Schwerin Chamberlain, one of the last Lübeck canons and publicist.

Life

Magnus Graf Holmer was the only son of Friedrich Levin von Holmer (1741–1806) and his wife Sophie Henriette Elisabeth born. Freiin von der Lühe (1759–1839). His first name reminds both of his grandfather and of Count Magnus Stollberg (1762–1780), who died shortly before his birth in a duel, the youngest brother of Christian zu Stolberg-Stolberg and Friedrich Leopold zu Stolberg-Stolberg , who were close friends of his father. As a child of six years of age, on December 30, 1786, he received the episcopal prebend at the Lübeck cathedral chapter, resigned to him by his father, and thus became canon . The cathedral chapter became with the secularizationof the Hochstift dissolved by the Reichsdeputationshauptschluss 1803; However, he kept his income as a canon for life. Friedrich Franz I appointed him chamberlain for Mecklenburg-Schwerin .

He first studied at the University of Kiel ; in the winter semester of 1800 he moved to the University of Göttingen . He then lived for some time in England, where he devoted himself to the stud subject. After his return, probably in connection with his father's death in 1806, he lived in his father's estate in Tangstedt . In 1818 this went bankrupt; the estate came to the Oldenburg Hereditary Prince August , and Magnus Graf Holmer moved to Kiel.

From 1833 he published the magazine Hippologische Blätter. A magazine for refined horse breeding out. Supplements were also published regularly from 1843 to 1848 . The papers were in direct competition with the newspaper for horse lovers published by Johann Georg Wachenhusen in Altona since 1825 . So there was soon friction between the two papers , and a debate in the Altonaer Mercur , where an article with 67 signatures from Mecklenburg appeared against Wachenhusen's magazine. A reply soon followed, and the result was a duel on December 21, 1833 between the Mecklenburg horse breeder Baron Wilhelm von Biel and Wachenhusen on the Hanover coast near the Schluisgrove in the Wilhelmsburg district (today part of the Hamburg port), in the von Wachenhusen Found death. Holmer continued the magazine into its 20th year in 1852, but then discontinued it.

He was a founding member and for a long time director of the Kiel Art Association and was elected secretary of the Jockey Club for Northern Germany in December 1843.

Since 1826 he was married to Ethelinde Rosalie, b. von Cossel from the house of Jersbek - Stegen , a daughter of the budget councilor Eberhard Christopher von Cossel (1753–1832). The couple had a daughter, Countess Blanda Wilhelmine Sofie (1829–1875), who married Count Heinrich Ludwig Wilhelm Georg von Luckner (1833–1916) in 1857 .

With him, the line of the Counts of Holmer died out in the male line.
