Act

Von der Osten-Warnitz studied law at the Rheinische Friedrich-Wilhelms-Universität . He was reciprocated in the Corps Borussia Bonn in 1881 and in 1883 headed the oKC of the Kösener Seniors Convent Association .

In 1885 he became a trainee lawyer at the Supreme Court . From 1888 he was the landlord of the Warnitz family estate (since 1398, today in Polish: Warnice). During the German Empire from 1900 to 1916 he was district administrator of the Königsberg (Neumark) district . From 1908 to 1918 he was a member of the Prussian House of Representatives , temporarily its president. During the First World War he was a co-founder and first chairman of the German district assembly . After the November Revolution he joined the DNVP and was a member of the Prussian state constituent assembly between 1919 and 1921 . After that he was a member of the Prussian state parliament until 1928 .

In his party he was considered a foreign policy expert. During the Weimar Republic he frequented Paul von Hindenburg's house . In April 1932, after Heinrich Brüning's dismissal , Hindenburg asked whether von der Osten was ready to take over the Reich Chancellorship . He agreed and wanted to bring about a government made up of social democrats and conservatives. This project failed.

family

He came from the noble family of the East . His father Oskar von der Osten (* July 2, 1837, † July 13, 1866) belonged to the regiment of the Gardes du Corps and died in 1866 of cholera . His mother Anna (born August 9, 1840; May 1, 1899) was the adopted daughter of the economist Karl Rodbertus ; after the death of her husband she married the officer Friedrich von Lindheim.

Oskar von der Osten may have called himself "Osten-Warnitz" after his estate, as was common in aristocratic circles at the time. The official legal name change was not made until October 5, 1942, by his grandson Burkhard von der Osten (* 1920).

Osten-Warnitz married on October 28, 1886 at Gut Bärfelde Anna-Marie von Sydow (born September 18, 1867 at Gut Bärfelde, † 31 January 1940 at Gut Warnitz), the daughter of the landowner Wilhelm von Sydow, landlord on Kremlin ( district Soldin ) as well as Stolzenfelde, Dobberphul and Bärfelde (all districts of Königsberg, Neumark), and Antonie von der Heyden. His daughter Anna (called Anning ; 1900–1937) married the later resistance fighter Ewald von Kleist-Schmenzin (1890–1945) on September 28, 1921 at Gut Warnitz .
