Woldemar von Heyden
Woldemar von Heyden - [Cartlow] (* February 8, 1809 in Kartlow ; † May 11, 1871 ibid; full name: Gustav Friedrich Theodor Woldemar von Heyden-Cartlow ) was a general councilor, manor and member of the United State Parliament of Prussia .
Life
Woldemar von Heyden was the son of Wichard Wilhelm von Heyden (1782-1836) and Wilhelmine von Gloeden (1789-1820). He studied law at the University of Bonn and was a member of the Corps Borussia . In 1836, after the death of his father, he took over the Kartlow estate, which made good profits at the time.
In 1837 he married Athalie Fränkel in Dresden (* May 24, 1814 in Warsaw ; † May 12, 1873 in Kartlow), the daughter of a Warsaw banker and railway company. At the beginning of the 19th century, the father converted with the whole family from the Jewish to the Catholic faith. Athalie was endowed by her father with a significant fortune that she had sole control over. Woldemar borrowed a total of 73,000 thalers from her over the years, which were later secured by a mortgage on Sarov . Six children were born to the couple between 1838 and 1858.
Between 1840 and 1860 Woldemar succeeded in quadrupling the ownership of Kartlow. In 1840 he bought the Müssentin , Kronsberg and Klein Toitin estates . In 1846 he acquired the Heyden family estate Groß Toitin from Helmuth von Heyden-Linden. In 1855 he bought the Maltzahn Gutskomplex Schmarsow . In 1860 he acquired the Maltzahn family estate in Sarow from a Herr von Meyennn. In 1861 the property covered an area of 4500 hectares, in which 1446 people lived. In addition, the goods Alexanderhof and Wittenhof near Prenzlau were added in 1854 and Damitzow with Keesow in 1863.
Woldemar realized that the further processing and own marketing of the agricultural products would yield more profits than the production alone. In 1844 he bought the Tollensemühle in Altentreptow and in 1852 he bought the Prenzlauer Uckermühlen. Also in 1844 he had acquired land on the Peene in Jarmen , where he could build warehouses and bought a ship. At the end of the 1840s, Woldemar founded his own bank in Kartlow. He participated in stock trading with varying degrees of success.
Woldemar made several trips to England , where he is said to have exported grain and flour because of the higher prices. His own ship ascribed to him, the barque "von Heyden-Cartlow", is not mentioned in the extensively preserved balance sheets of the Kartlower estate. However, the captain Carl Gaede named on a picture of the ship actually lived in Anklam around 1868 .
Woldemar von Heyden was a member of the Provincial Parliament of the Province of Pomerania . In 1847 and 1848 he was a member of the First and Second United State Parliaments, respectively . He later stopped running for MP. As a general landscape council , he was on the board of the Pomeranian landscape . He was also the curator of the Marienstift in Stettin .
Between 1853 and 1859, Woldemar had Kartlow Castle built as a new mansion . Even before that, a landscape park was laid out according to a plan by Peter Joseph Lenné . At the end of the 1860s he had the Kartlower church completely renovated. He had the Great Toitiner Church rebuilt.
In the Kartlower district of Unnode he had a house built for the pension provision of farm workers. In 1862 he transferred the supervision and economic control of the so-called "Altenstift" to the Pomeranian Provincial Cooperative of the Order of St. John . Around 1862 he initiated a kind of social insurance "to prevent the impoverishment of day laborers". The “Kuhkasse”, in which the landowner pays one thaler per cow each year, and each worker half, secured the purchase of a new animal if an animal was lost, which would otherwise be a catastrophe for those affected.
In 1864 the establishment of a Fideikommiss based on the English model was approved as a minor council by the royal government. In 1870 the title "Graf von Cartlow" was associated with it, which was only available to the entertainer. The first Count von Cartlow was Woldemar's son Adam Werner .
In 1871 Woldemar von Heyden passed away by suicide. The exact reasons for this are not known.
