Life

Xaver von Kleist came from the branch Zützen from the Lower Lausitz the original Pomeranian uradeligen sex of von Kleist . He was the third eldest son of the Electorate Colonel Leopold von Kleist (1752-1830), knight of the Saxon Order of St. Henry and the French Legion of Honor , and Friederike Auguste nee von Klitzing .

When Leopold von Kleist died in 1830, he left behind his son Xaver as well as the following sons:

  1. Major and St. Johanniterritter Eduard von Kleist, Lord of Zützen, Görsdorf and Schenkendorf (* November 2, 1795, † March 21, 1852 in Zützen)
  2. Lieutenant Baron von Kleist, Lord on Kollochau (born June 11, 1801).

Xaver von Kleist first entered the military service of the King of Prussia and in 1823 became a second lieutenant in the 3rd Battalion of the 32nd Landwehr Regiment. In 1834 he was honorably discharged as prime lieutenant . Xaver von Kleist was appointed chamberlain to the king as early as 1824. He settled on the manor in Raddatz in the Neustettin district, which he inherited in 1830 after the death of his father . He also owned the estates in Ober-Pankow, Bramstädt, Klingbeck, Nieder-Pankow and Neuendorf. On September 30, 1859, as a result of paralysis due to the unfortunate fall from his horse, he sold all of his goods for the then very high total of 115,000 thalers to his cousin Count Wilhelm Bogislaff von Kleist and from then on lived without ownership of manors.

family

Xaver von Kleist married Charlotte Friederike Wilhelmine nee Zumbruchs († 1859) on May 28, 1849. The marriage remained childless, so he adopted his illegitimate daughter Agnes Charlotte Auguste Ganske (* August 4, 1836, † 1868). This was raised to the Prussian nobility in Berlin on March 30, 1863 with the settlement of the father's name and coat of arms . A special nobility diploma was not issued about it.
