from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Wilhelm August Carl Slevogt (born November 30, 1709 in Tonndorf ; † June 9, 1767 in Freyburg (Unstrut) ) was an electoral Saxon commissioner and bailiff of Freyburg and manor owner .

Life

After attending school, Wilhelm August Carl Slevogt embarked on an administrative career in the service of the Wettins at the court in Dresden and rose to become a commissioner. Most recently he was bailiff in the Freyburg office .

Slevogt became known, among other things, from his report of January 2, 1753, which he received as far as England, of the type of wool produced in the meadows of the Unstrut by the river overflowing its banks .

On January 12, 1765, Slevogt acquired from his wife's brothers, a daughter of the royal Polish and electoral Saxon chamber commissioner, chief excise commissioner and bailiff to Düben Johann Gottfried Benemann their inherited manor Schnellroda in the Freyburg office . There he had his children trained by Johann Karl Wüstemann, who later became the pastor in Wenigensommern.

Wilhelm August Carl Slevogt died on June 9, 1767 in Freyburg and left behind the three sons Johann August (* July 18, 1751), Carl Wilhelm (* February 2, 1753) as feudal heirs from his marriage to Christiana Amalia, born Benemann (* 1726 ) and Christian Wilhelm (born March 18, 1759), who were not of legal age at the time. His wife Christiana Amalia Slevogt decided, after her husband's death, to lease her manor Schnellroda together with the castle forecourt in Freyburg for three or six years from Midsummer 1770. She herself preferred to move with her children from the village to the official city of Freyburg. When she died in 1796, her children inherited the Schnellroda manor, of which the bailiff Carl Wilhelm Slevogt paid off all the other siblings in 1797 and took over the manor himself.
