Life

origin

He was the eldest son of Stiftsvoight Anton von Bonin († May 25, 1633) and his wife Elisabeth von Wedel from the Freyenwalde house.

Career

In 1637 he became a ducal Pomeranian district administrator in the Principality of Cammin during the Thirty Years' War . After the Treaty of Münster in 1648, this part of Pomerania fell to the Electorate of Brandenburg . So he became Kurbrandenburg Higher War Commissioner for the Duchy of Pomerania and the Lande Lauenburg-Bütow, Governor of Stargard an der Ihna, real councilor, chamberlain and colonel of a regiment on foot.

In 1654 he and Christian Ernst von Podewils were appointed director of the funeral of the last Pomeranian Duke Bogislaus XIV . That year, on June 24, 1654, he received the feudal letter from Elector Friedrich Wilhelm over Gummenz and when Joachim Henning von Schmeling took his leave on July 11, 1654 , he was appointed inspector of the monastery in Kolberg. That was also the time when he recruited a regiment on foot, which was garrisoned in Stargard. He died a little later in 1659.

He was buried in the newly built family funeral on Wogenthin in 1660. The elector sent the commandant of Kolberg Bogislaw von Schwerin as his representative.
