Live and act

Blome came from the Salzau line of the von Blome family . His father was Baron Friedrich von Blome (1769-1818), his mother Charlotte nee. Countess of Platen zu Hallermund (1778–1857). Adolf von Blome was his younger brother.

With his uncle of the same name Otto von Blome on Heiligenstedten (1770–1849) he was awarded diplomas from the Danish King Friedrich VI. from September 11, 1819 to the rank of count and on May 1, 1826 to the Danish feudal count . From 1820 to 1824 he served as Rittmeister in the Kongelige Livgarde on horseback ( Hestgarden ).

He then devoted himself to the administration of his estates, especially Gut Salzau , where he had the manor house rebuilt in 1881 after a fire, just as he had built the associated Blomenburg hunting lodge in Selent in 1844-48. After the death of his brother Adolf in 1875, he also inherited Gut Heiligenstedten with the march estates Bahrenfleth , Bekhof , Bekmünde and Blomesche Wildnis , from which the Bahrenfleth Fideikommiss was formed in 1819 . He also owned the goods Sophienhof, Charlottenthal, Ottenhof, Lammershagen and Friedeburg, as well as the rule Hagymádfalva (today Spinuş, Bihor district , Romania ) in the Kingdom of Hungary .

In the Schleswig-Holstein question , Blome advocated extensive independence for Holstein while preserving the entire Danish state . He stood up for Carl von Scheel-Plessen as Minister for Holstein.

Count Blome died at the age of 89 and was buried in Probsteierhagen, the burial place of the Blome family.

Marriages

His first marriage was on November 14, 1822, Princess Albertine Agnes Christiane Caroline zu Sayn-Wittgenstein-Hohenstein (born April 27, 1804 at Wittgenstein Castle ; † October 8, 1866 in Rheda ), daughter of Prince Friedrich Carl zu Sayn-Wittgenstein- Hohenstein (1766–1837) and Princess Friederike von Schwarzburg-Sondershausen (1774–1806). The marriage was divorced in 1825.

Blome's second marriage was a diplomatic delicacy: on July 12, 1828, in Paris, he married Princess Marie Clementine Bagration (born September 29, 1810 in Vienna ), the daughter of Katharina Bagration . Her legal father was Prince Pyotr Ivanovich Bagration , but it was common knowledge that she came from a liaison between her mother and the Austrian State Chancellor Klemens Wenzel Lothar von Metternich . She bore him a son, Otto Paul Julius Gustav , on May 18, 1829 in Hanover , but died there on May 26, 1829 and was buried in Probsteierhagen .

In his third marriage on May 12, 1837, he married his cousin Countess Julie Friederike Sophie von Platen-Hallermund (* November 6, 1811 - June 7, 1879), daughter of Count Georg Wilhelm Friedrich von Platen-Hallermund (* November 8, 1785 in Linden; † January 13, 1873 in Weißenhaus) and Julie Marianne Charlotte, b. Countess von Hardenberg (born October 22, 1788 in Celle, † August 18, 1833 in Weißenhaus). From this marriage came the daughter Adeline (* February 14, 1838; † December 4, 1908), who married her cousin, the Hanoverian court stable master Count Ferdinand von Hardenberg (1826-1870) in 1858 and moved to Blomenburg as a widow.
