from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Nikolaus Graf von Baudissin (born December 29, 1838 at Gut Projensdorf ; † April 14, 1917 in Schivelbein ) was a German politician, Prussian parliamentarian and civil servant. For over four decades he was the district administrator of the Schivelbein district in the Pomeranian province .

Life

He belonged to the noble family Baudissin , who originally came from Upper Lusatia and came to Schleswig-Holstein during the Thirty Years' War . His father Joseph Graf Baudissin (* 1797, † 1871) was a royal Danish chamberlain, Rittmeister and heir on Borstel ; his mother was born Countess Reventlow .

After attending grammar school in Gütersloh , Nikolaus von Baudissin studied at the universities in Halle, Heidelberg, Leipzig and Kiel. In Heidelberg he became a member of the Corps Guestphalia and in Leipzig of the Corps Misnia . From 1863 he worked at the higher court in Glückstadt , in 1864 as an auscultator at the highest civil authority in Flensburg and from 1866 as an agent for the government in Schleswig . Just as his home in Schleswig-Holstein finally came from Denmark to Prussia after the German-Danish War of 1864 and the German War of 1866, Baudissin also moved from the Danish civil service to the Prussian civil service. In 1868 he went to Stettin as a government assessor . From November 1869 to May 1870 he was employed by the government as a district administrator in the Pyritz district . In 1870 he volunteered for military service and took part in the Franco-German War in the 2nd Pomeranian Uhlan Regiment No. 9 . He was awarded the Iron Cross 2nd class .

In 1871 he was employed by the government during a lengthy leave of absence for District Administrator Rüdiger von der Goltz as district administrator in the Schivelbein district . The government built him up as his successor and in fact, after Goltz's resignation at the end of 1871, Baudissin was proposed by a majority as his successor by the district council and appointed as the new district administrator in 1872. He remained in this office until 1917. His long term of office included the construction of a district hospital in 1897 and the establishment of the Kreissparkasse Schivelbein in 1901 , and at the end of his term of office before his death the burdens of the First World War with his war economy . During his term of office there were also anti-Semitic riots in the town of Schivelbein in August 1881, in whose suppression he took part as district administrator.

In addition to his work as District Administrator, he was a member of the Pomeranian Provincial Parliament from 1877 until his death and a member of the Prussian House of Representatives from 1879 to 1888 . During his activity as district administrator, he was awarded the Red Eagle Order, first class IV (1883), then III. Class (1893) and on his service anniversary in 1913, class II awarded with oak leaves, in 1906 with the Order of the Crown, class II.

Baudissin was married to Katharina von der Osten (born February 2, 1860), the daughter of District Administrator Leopold von der Osten from the neighboring Regenwalde district, in his second marriage since 1877 . The marriage resulted in a daughter Elisabeth and a son Wolf. In addition to a house in Schivelbein, Baudissin acquired the Neuhof manor in the Regenwalde district.

Nikolaus Graf von Baudissin died in April 1917. In his office as district administrator, Rüdiger von der Goltz , the son of his predecessor , was temporarily succeeded .
