Peter of Oubril
Peter von Oubril (also Pierre d'Oubril , actually Pjotr Jakowlewitsch Ubri, Russian Пётр Яковлевич Убри ; * 7 February July / 18 February 1774 greg. In Moscow ; † 23 December 1847 July / 4 January 1848 greg. in Frankfurt am Main ) was a Russian diplomat.
Live and act
Oubril came from an originally French Catholic family. From 1803 to 1804 he was the Russian envoy in Paris . On August 28, 1804, he handed over the note on the breakdown of diplomatic relations between Russia and France and left Paris. In the spring of 1806 he returned as a special envoy and on July 20, 1806, under pressure, concluded a treaty with Napoleon that was disadvantageous for Russia. At this moment after the founding of the Rhine Confederation and in the run-up to the Fourth Coalition War , according to Leopold von Ranke , the ratification of the Oubril Treaty or its rejection became the fulcrum of European politics in general. Tsar Alexander I did not recognize the treaty and Oubril lost all his offices and influence.
From 1823 to 1824 he was envoy to the Netherlands, from 1824 to 1835 ambassador to Spain and from 1835 to the end of his life he was the Russian envoy to the German Confederation in Frankfurt am Main . In April 1840, in the name of the Russian heir to the throne Alexander , he asked Grand Duke Ludwig II of Hesse-Darmstadt for the hand of Marie of Hesse-Darmstadt .
Oubril was married to Charlotte, b. Germann (* November 15 . jul / 26 November 1791 greg. in St. Petersburg, † March 4 jul. / March 16, 1880 greg. in Baden-Baden). Both were buried in the crypt hall of the Frankfurt main cemetery. The tomb was designed by Eduard Schmidt von der Launitz .
His son Paul von Oubril also became a diplomat and was from 1863 envoy to Prussia and then to the German Empire . His daughter Marie (1819–1913) married his successor in Frankfurt and his son's predecessor in Berlin, Andreas Feodorowitsch von Budberg-Bönninghausen .
