Matthias Joachim Ernst was the son of the Polish magnate Matthias Joachim Manteuffel-Kiełpiński († 1730), royal Polish captain , Truchsess von Terebowlja (Polish Trembowla) and salt count of Bydgoszcz , probably born in the 1720s. Like his father, Matthias comes from the noble family von Manteuffel , whose nickname in Poland points to the origin of the Kölpin tribe and who were also the bearers of the Polish indigenous population . His mother, Krystyna Elżbieta (Christina Elisabetha) , came from the Brünnow family .

Manteuffel-Kiełpiński, referred to in the Leipzig university register as the Polish -Prussian Herr von Adel , studied like his cousin Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel at the University of Leipzig since April 18, 1742 . On August 2, 1743, at the academic jubilee in honor of Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel's 50-year academic citizenship, at the same time his 68th birthday, in Leipzig, as a student, he gave a laudation written by Johann Christoph Gottsched . At that time he was already calling himself von Manteuffel , which suggests that he no longer had his nickname Kiełpiński at that time. On February 15, 1748 Joachim Ernst was major of the Baden-Durlach rental regiment ( Carl Wilhelm von Baden-Durlach ), later company commander in the 2nd battalion of the Oranje Nassau infantry regiment (No. 2), which was headed by Captain General Wilhelm IV , Prince of Orange Nassau , was reorganized. There he is listed as Joachim Ernst Baron van Manteuffel .

"Captain [Joachim Ernst Baron van Manteuffel] in the 2de bataljon van het 2de regiment Oranje Nassau, in the nieuw opgericht regiment van de prins van Baden Dourlach"

The origin of his title as baron has not been passed down, but it is likely that he also claimed it for himself, as it were from his cousin Ernst Christoph von Manteuffel, who was promoted to the rank of baron under Emperor Joseph I. In 1750 Manteuffel stayed in the garrison at Nijmegen . On August 7, 1753, he bought Gut Schmochtitz in the Lower Lusatia margraviate for 18,000 thalers from Colonel Anton Christian von Kleist , which he sold to the Saxon court marshal Peter August von Schönberg in 1763 for 24,000 thalers. Goods in Lower Lusatia were excellently suited as speculative objects at the time. In 1756 he compared himself with his half-brother Franciszek Ewald Manteuffel-Kiełpiński about shares in the property in Elsenau . Three years later, the Dutch colonel , as he was also known, sold his shares to Ignaz Wesołowski .

Joachim Ernst was promoted to lieutenant colonel on March 18, 1766 and to colonel of the 2nd battalion in Infantry Regiment 748c Oranje Nassau ( stationed in Arnhem and Nijmegen in 1773 ) on August 24, 1772 . On October 5, 1787 he was appointed major general.
