Otto August Struve (born May 17, 1784 in Sorenbohm near Köslin in Hinterpommern , † September 4, 1847 in Stargard ) was a German administrative officer and non-fiction author.

Life

His father worked as a country pastor at Struve's birthplace near the Baltic coast . He received his first lessons from him, which he then continued at the Szczecin grammar school . From 1802 to 1805 he studied at the University of Halle law . After completing an internship in the civil service at the Supreme Court in Stettin, he was employed as an assessor at the City Court in Stargard in 1809. After he had been employed as a city judge in Gollnow for a year from 1814 , he was subsequently elected city syndic of Stargard. In this position, in which he also looked after the city's social institutions in an exemplary manner, he was re-elected after the end of his twelve-year service. After thirty years of service, he retired for health reasons. From his private assets, he donated a sum of 1,000 thalers to the city's social institutions, in particular the poor house and the hospital, by means of a court-confirmed will , the interest of which was to be used to buy land after a few years.

He was the author of a three-volume work on charitable foundations.

Struve was married to Wilhelmine Karoline Bethke, daughter of the postmaster von Gollnow. The marriage resulted in a child, a daughter, who died at the age of six.
