family
Wilhelm von Jena came from an old Thuringian noble family, which appears with Liber Folmarus de Gene (the Free Folmar of Jena) as a ministerial member of the Counts of Kirchberg, who in 1145 in a document of the Archbishop of Mainz zu Erfurt as a witness (document book of the city Jena II.2) is mentioned. Furthermore, this noble family, mentioned around 1350 in Halle (Saale) - see also the von Jena family - is mentioned in a document and is one of the oldest of the pancake there . He was the son of the royal Prussian major and landowner Karl Friedrich von Jena (1770–1838), landlord on Cöthen, Falkenberg and Dannenberg (all today districts of the municipality of Falkenberg (Mark), district of Märkisch-Oderland ), and Sophie Margarete Eleonore Gans Noble mistress of Putlitz (1778–1837).
Jena married on July 17, 1827 at Gut Altenhausen Wilhelmine (Willy) Countess von der Schulenburg (born October 21, 1806 at Gut Altenhausen; † November 11, 1880 in Berlin), the daughter of the landowner August Karl Jakob Graf von der Schulenburg , landlord on Altenhausen, and Maria Luise von Kleist . (Granddaughter of Alexander Jacob von der Schulenburg ).
Life
Jena was a royal Prussian major, Fideikommissherr on Cöthen and a member of the Prussian manor house .
At the suggestion of Maria Helena Countess von Itzenplitz , wife of the Prussian State and Trade Minister Heinrich Graf von Itzenplitz (1799–1883) at Gut Kunersdorf near Wriezen , Wilhelm von Jena installed a "Monplaisier" house on the way between his estates in Cöthen and Falkenberg with two acres of fields available to set up the “rescue house for neglected boys” requested by the countess . Numerous landlords, parishes and other donors pledged to pay a regular annual fee. On June 26, 1856, the “Waldhaus” , which is run by the Stephanus Foundation ( Bad Freienwalde (Oder) ) today, was handed over to its intended purpose and began its work with initially twelve pupils.
