Otto Wilhelm von Bodenhausen (born September 5, 1680 , † October 18, 1754 in Leipzig ) was a royal Polish and electoral Saxon high-order district chief of Leipzig and court judge in Wittenberg and inspector of the Grimma state school .

Life

He came from the Lower Saxon noble family von Bodenhausen . Kraft Burchhard von Bodenhausen, who had bought the Brandis manor around 1700, was his father. Like many members of his family, he embarked on a civil service career in the service of the Wettins . As a district chief he worked for many years in the trade fair city of Leipzig.

In 1718 he applied for a dispensation to marry Hedwig Elisabeth from the Winckel, whom he married on December 27, 1718.

In 1746 he left the Radis manor to his eldest son, Carl Heinrich von Bodenhausen. The latter was born on March 3, 1724 in Radis.

Otto Wilhelm von Bodenhausen had today's city palace built between 1724 and 1727 according to plans by David Schatz . With the stately castle and the spacious farmyard, Otto Wilhelm von Bodenhausen created one of the most imposing manor complexes in the Leipzig area. The original plan remained unfinished. The west wing of the palace did not come from the baroque building .

Otto Wilhelm von Bodenhausen died on the morning of October 18, 1754 at the Michaelism Fair in Leipzig. He was brought from Leipzig to Brandis Castle in a municipal hearse, and on January 22, 1755, he was buried in the family crypt there. He was 74 years, 4 weeks and 5 days old.

His son had fled from Kursachsen during the Seven Years' War and stayed in the Principality of Anhalt-Köthen in Kliecken as a precaution , where he died of emaciation on December 28, 1759 unmarried. As a result, the Radis estate fell to his only brother, the owner of the Brandis estate, Christoph August Lebrecht von Bodenhausen. He died on December 12, 1786 as a chamberlain and owner of several manors.
