Life
Schlözer was born in 1808 as the son of the later Russian consul general in Lübeck Karl von Schlözer and named by him after the Russian saint Nestor of Kiev , the author of the Nestor Chronicle . This chronicle was published by his grandfather August Ludwig von Schlözer . Dorothea Schlözer was his aunt, Kurd von Schlözer his brother.
He attended the Katharineum high school in Lübeck , where he received private lessons in Russian instead of Greek. Already in 1815 appointed by Tsar Alexander I (Russia) as an actuary at the St. Petersburg “Collège des Affaires Etrangères”, he was later added to his father as an attaché. He stayed several times for training and service purposes in Russia, especially in St. Petersburg.
In 1844 he was appointed as a civil servant Russian consul in Szczecin , which had gained new importance for trade and traffic between Russia and Prussia with the opening of the Berlin-Szczecin railway and a steamship line to St. Petersburg . Here he was close friends with Carl Loewe .
After the end of the Szczecin shipping line with the opening of the Berlin-St. Petersburg in 1859, Schlözer retired. He acquired the Rothensande estate on the Kellersee near Malente as the seat of his family. In 1875 he moved to Dresden with his second wife.

Schlözer was married twice. His first wife, Dorothea Marc (* 1816), who he married in 1837, died in 1846. Two daughters and three sons came from this marriage, including Karl Nestor (1839–1906), who later became Imperial Russian State Councilor in Vitebsk .
In his second marriage, Nestor von Schlözer married the painter Luise Freiin von Meyern-Hohenberg (1823–1907) in Blankenburg in 1852 . From this marriage came two sons, Karl (1854–1916), diplomat and writer, and Leopold (1859–1946), major and writer. Schlözer hired Wilhelm Wisser as her private tutor. In 1873, at his request, these sons were released from their Russian subjects.
