Nikolai Dellingshausen
Nikolai Baron Dellingshausen (* 5. jul. / 17th October 1827 greg. In Saint Petersburg , † 18 jul. / The 30th September 1896 greg. In Riga ) was a Baltic German naturalist and state politicians.
Dellingshausen was educated in the page corps at Saint Petersburg . In 1845 he joined the Preobrazhensky Guard Regiment as an ensign , but took his leave the following year as a lieutenant in order to be able to devote himself entirely to his philosophical and scientific inclinations. He studied physics, chemistry and mathematics in Dorpat and Heidelberg from 1846 to 1850 and then entered with his book publications attempt at speculative physics (Leipzig 1851) and basics of a vibration theory of nature (Leipzig 1872), especially with the attempt to determine the wave impulse mc and the Wave energy mc² of the ether . For him, the chemical elements were nodes or standing waves in the vibration of the ether.
He continued his scientific studies at the University of Leipzig . Then in 1854 he took over the management of his hereditary estates Kattentack ( Estonian : Aaspere ), Sauß (Sauste), Loop (Loobu), Höbbet (Höbeda) and Wattküll (Vatku) in the Wierland district , Estonia governorate . He held various offices of the Estonian knighthood , as their elected knighthood governor he served from 1868-1869. As a private scholar, he dealt with scientific studies on his property, which were reflected in his other book publications.
His son Eduard von Dellingshausen (1863-1939) served as the last knighthood captain of the Estonian knighthood (1902-1918).
