Samuel Friedrich von Kanitz
Samuel Friedrich von Kanitz (* 15. June 1690 on Good Mednicken at Wargs , East Prussia ; † 18th January 1762 at Gut Hainewalde ) was a Prussian Chamberlain , Amtshauptmann to Sehsten and builder of New Castle Hainewalde . He was lord of the Mednicken family estate as well as of Mühlfeld and Boxin.
Life
Samuel Friedrich von Kanitz was born in 1689 as the only son of the later Prussian Major General Christoph Albrecht von Kanitz (1653–1711) and Maria Gottliebe Schack von Wittenau († 1736).
He initially received home lessons, then attended high school in Königsberg and studied geography, history and architecture at the Albertus University there . In 1709 he accompanied his father, under whom he served in various military assignments, on his Italian campaigns. He used his stay there to visit the cities of Turin, Milan, Rome, Naples, Parma, Piazenza, Florence and Venice. In 1715 he was appointed chamberlain to the Crown Prince, who later became Friedrich II , by King Friedrich Wilhelm I of Prussia , and in 1722 he was made chamberlain . In the meantime he was governor to Sehsten at Sensburg .
On September 29, 1723 he married Christiane Tugendreich von Kyaw († 1749), the daughter of Ernst Leopold von Kyaw, landlord on Friedersdorf, and Helena Sophia von Gersdorf. Christiane Tugendreich was the great niece of Victoria Tugendreich von Kyaw , wife of Otto Ludwig von Kanitz , whose nephew Samuel Friedrich was. After Otto Ludwig's death, the Hainewalde estate came into his possession. From 1749 to 1755 he had the New Castle built in Hainewalde. In 1762 he died there of dropsy and was buried in the hereditary funeral at Mednicken.
He had only one son Ludwig Albrecht Leopold von Kanitz (* July 30, 1734, † July 15, 1778), who had no descendants. His Prussian possessions therefore fell to the younger Prussian line of the family based on Podangen by virtue of his will drawn up in 1762, while the goods in Upper Lusatia went to the family of his deceased wife, but were still burdened with taxes in favor of the Kanitz descendants for a long time.
