Live and act

He came from the house of Zülow of the Mecklenburg noble family von Bülow . His father was the Danish lieutenant colonel Caspar Friedrich von Bülow (1721–1781), his mother Ilsabe, geb. from Meerheimb . The Oberhofmarschall Jaspar Friedrich von Bülow was his nephew. After the death of his father, Vollrath Joachim von Bülow entered the electoral Hanoverian military service at the age of 14 . In 1786 he became second lieutenant and in 1796 premier lieutenant in the 9th Cavalry Regiment Queen Dragoons . As Rittmeister he took part in the First Coalition War in the Siege of Valenciennes and the Battle of Famars in 1793. When Hanover was occupied by the French in 1803, he returned to Mecklenburg and found a job as Rittmeister with Duke Adolph, the youngest son of (Grand) Duke Friedrich Franz I. In 1805 he was appointed stable master and head of the ducal stables in Ludwigslust . With the occupation of Mecklenburg by Napoleonic troops, the Ludwigsluster Stud was closed after the delivery of breeding horses in 1807. Thereupon von Bülow accompanied the ducal family into exile in Altona in 1806/07 .

In the course of the reorganization of the stud farm in Mecklenburg, the horse connoisseur von Bülow was entrusted as Vice-Stallmeister with the construction of the main and state stud in Redefin, which he managed until his death. Under his direction as head stable master, the new buildings were built next to the old park from 1820 to 1824 in a spacious complex. The then still young master builder Carl Heinrich Wünsch from Schwerin was commissioned with the design planning . In 1820 and 1827, accompanied by his horse doctor Christoph Steinhoff, he traveled to England to purchase horses for breeding ( English thoroughbred ). The stud, to which the Paetow domain also belonged from 1824 , grew steadily until 1840 and gained an excellent reputation. In the year of Bülow's death, in May 1840 of pneumonia, 160 stallions were kept here.

As part of the relocation of the grand ducal residence to Schwerin, he was jointly responsible for planning the Schwerin Marstall . At the same time he was director of the veterinary school in Schwerin.

He was married to Louise, b. von Bülow (1785–1867), a daughter of Court Marshal Bernhard Joachim von Bülow (1747–1826). The couple had two daughters: Caroline, married von Hirschfeldt, and Marie-Charlotte (* 1819), conventual in the Malchow Monastery , and a son, Bernhard Vollrath von Bülow (1820–1864).
