Life

Wolmar von Wrangel, a native of Livonia and a member of the well-known noble family of the Wrangel , entered service in Brandenburg as a young man. He took part in the Swedish-Brandenburg War and in 1678 commanded a battalion of the guard on the landing on Rügen . After 30 years of service, on October 6, 1679, he was promoted to colonel and commander of the Leib-Guard Infantry Regiment (No. 1) . He held this position until 1684. But he was also commandant of Berlin.

For services rendered, Wrangel was endowed by the Great Elector on September 23, 1676 with the Wolffradtschen Gut Lüssow in Western Pomerania . However, Lüssow must soon have reverted to the von Wolffradt family, because they are said to have owned it from 1670 to 1841. In 1679 he bought the Mark Börnicke estate from Rittmeister Johann Tiefenbach . There he began, as landlord and church patron , to occupy the Hüfner and Kossaten posts again, had the village church renovated in 1680 and the pictures of the apostles made on the altar stalls in the village church, which are still preserved today. It was thanks to him that the village children were taught in a half-timbered house on the Anger (today's Dorfstrasse 3). Finally, he was buried in the church.

From his marriage to Anna Hellevarst von Berbeche, († 1687) who was laid to rest next to him in the village church, there are a daughter Juliane Eleonore (1667–1692) and a young deceased son, Friedrich Wilhelm von Wrangel (* / † 1686) emerged. The daughter was the first wife of the Kurbrandenburg Oberkammerjunkers , cathedral provost of Kolberg and governor of the Marienfließ monastery Georg Christoph von Wachholtz (1646–1716), who was also heir to Börnicke and sold the same to Johann Stephan von Barfus .
