Otto Conrad Hahn

Otto Conrad (von) Hahn (* around 1756 in Medingen ; † December 14, 1804 in Eldena ) was a German administrative lawyer and businessman.

Life

Otto Conrad Hahn was the son of Johann Conrad Hahn, the Hanoverian chief magistrate in the Medingen office, and was baptized in Medingen on February 24, 1756 . He matriculated on October 21, 1773 to study law at the University of Göttingen. He became a member of the Hanoverian Landsmannschaft and was their adjudant general from Easter 1775 until after Michaelis 1776 and after the departure of Friedrich Alexander von Wenckstern from January 13th 1777 until November 8th of that year their senior . Hahn obtained the title of Prussian Chamber Council and on December 6, 1788, was ennobled as "von Hahn" as an imperial nobleman. He was one of the largest traders for Mecklenburg farms in the beginning of the period of upheaval, the so-called roller goods. In the period from 1792 to 1795, the estates Badekow, Bretzin, Gresse , Karow and Leisterförde passed through his hands as a temporary landowner before he became insolvent on his Gut Charlottenthal near Krakow am See . The native of Mecklenburg, Friedrich II. Hahn , who was not related to him , was raised to hereditary count in 1802 because of these embarrassing circumstances. Otto Conrad vom Hahn died on his lease in Eldena. In 1805 his nephews Conrad Gottfried von Hahn from Bremen and Heinrich Hermann von Hahn from Hanover were able to acquire the Kirch Kogel estate, which also belongs to him, from the bankruptcy estate.
