History of Count [Baron] Frederick von der Trenck

Frederick von der Trenck had been taken into Frederick II "The Great's" famous  Personal Guard [all over six foot tall] as a Cornet in 1742/1744.  Trenck rose to Ordnance Officer at age of 19.  Fell in love with Frederick II "the Great's " sister, A. Amelia. They secretly married. Some think it was because of Trenck's boldness to have secretly married the King's sister, the Prussian King had Trenck arrested in 1743 and placed in the prison. . Trenck was held without public accusation or trial. Trenck escaped prison in 1743. He wrote of his escape in his is autobiography  which  was copied,  almost word by word by Victor Hugo for his own hero's escape in his novel Les Miserables. The events which followed  carried him eastward into Austria.   He leaves us his impression of his cousin, Franz von der Trenck [lover of Empress Theresa]. Baron Fred. von der Trenck owned two Austrian estates of Zwerbach and Grabeneck near Melk on the Danube River.  Sale of purchase was 1753. Received rank of Major in Austrian Army. Trenck 's next adventures occurred in Russian. Received rank  of Captain of the Russian Army Calvary.   Empress Elizabeth appointed him the rank of Gentleman of the Chamber.  He met  and became friends with the future  Catherine II "The Great". Baron  Fred von der Trneck was Knighted in Austria by Maria Thersia. [Date not known]. In 1754 Trenck, while in Prussia to attend the funeral of his mother, Frederick II "The Great's" agents  captured Trenck, and soon he was, again, in prison. This time he was held in a special cell built for him in the prison in Magdeburg  where he remained  without trial or any written document telling him why he was in prison. Frederick von der Trenck in Magdeburg Prison Amelia took up residence in Magdeburg.... 1763, almost ten years later, he would be released from prison His life of excitement continued. He would wed a second time and would have eight more children.  [Descendants live in Arizona and California, USA in the 1980s, whom Bertha, neee Hein, Strobel played bridge.....]  His first son of this miarriage was Joseph, who was born in Dec. of 1766 in Aix-la-Chapelle or Aachen, Prussia.  Maternal family linked to the family of Artas His autobiography was  written in  1786-7. It was translated into seven different languages. In 1794,  Trenck was arrested as a spy in Paris, France.  He was thrown in prison and placed on trial in front of the Tribunal. The man who signed Trenck's death by execution by the guillotine  was Fouquier. Charles Dickens's Tale of Two Cities seems to describe his hero's execution whihc matches Trenck's execution  Like Dickens hero, Trenck was the last of the 22 guillotined  on a hot July day in Paris under the orders of Robspierre, the revolutionary leader,  in 1794.  His final words, however,  were: "People of France, we die innocent.  Our deaths will be avenged by you. Set up liberty once more by making an  end of the monsters who are desecrating her name!" It was ironic that theaters in Paris were playing the life story of Frederick von der Trenck, so the crowds, who found Trenck a hero who had been inhumanly treated by the King of Prussia. felt  Robespierre had gone too far.... The angry crowd left Trenck's  death scene...  When Robespierre gave his speech in the Convention the next day   the mood  of his audeince had, also, changed. to hostility. Two days later Robspierre was guillotined.  The Reign  of Terror was at an end. In 1795 Frederick II "The  Great's" successor and nephew, Frederick William II, signed the documents which postmously gave Trenck the title of Count , which would be inherited by his heirs. 1994  Two years hundred later, in 1994, almost to the day, 25 July 1794, Judy A. Remmick-Hubert, a descendent of Trenck, visited Paris where Trenck  was guillotined.  On the 29th of July 1994 Judy  and her husband, Garry, visited the Conciergerie, where  Trenck was held as a prisoner for the third and last time in 1794. The picture above shows the layout of the Conciergerie which held many famous prisoners, including the ex-Queen of France, Marie Antoinette ex. 1793.

Gregor von der Trenck m. 1529 to Dorothea von Hiersch., dau. of Alexander von Hirsch (?gen. Schwabe) and Anna von der Muehlen Issue: Hans Dietrich von der Trenck d. 1673 von der Trenck Note: Searching on the web I found the following web site called  "My Family History" which holds a an old photo of the von Hirsch's manor-hourse  (Schloesser) called "Furchsberg" that has been known to have been in the family from about 1420 to 1757, when Major Georg von Hirsch died . The Major had no heirs.  His widow rem. in 1758 to Friedrich von Auer.... It doesn't tell us ehn the family sold it or to whom.  A photo of the remodeled version of the mamor house was taken in 1910, which I assume the one shown is of that time period.  A Michael A. von Hiersch wrote the article and found the photo in the book  "Schloesser und Herrensitze in Ost- und Westpreussen" dated 1958.  "Fuchsberg" was "located in East Prussia, near Koenigsberg, today called Kaliningrad and part of Russia".  Therefore, it was not far from the Trenck estate. http://www.vonhirsch.com/photo_1.html   Fuchsberg = Zemenovo (Russian name) was engulfed by the growth of Kaliningrad Obalst, Russia and I cannot find any data in todays history.  It was probably destroyed during WW II.  Koenigsberg was renamed Kalingingrad in 1946.  Koenigserg was built on the Old Prussian settlment that surrounded Fort Twangste in 1255 by the Tuetonic Knights during the Northern Crusades and named Koenigsberg in honour of their King Ottokar II of Bohemia.  It remained under the rule of the Teutonic Order and then the Polish-Lithunian Commoneathy  of Prrusia, which becasme Germany until 1945.  The city was destroyed during WW II and taken by the Societs in 1945 and remained Kaliningrad in 1946 in honor of their revolutionary Bolshvik hero Mikhail Kalinin.

NOTE: There was a Auerochs Castle in Oepfershausen / Meiningen' Schmalkalden-Meiningen Dist., Thuringia .  It was built at the foot of the Hahn Mountrain (Hahnsberg) abt 1352 and was destroyed , again, in 1800.   A protestant church was built here in the 1400 by the rock clled "Christ's' Head". In the church is the owner and provider Georg Freidech of Aurochs. The first owner of the "manor" (esate) house-castle was Albrecht of Aurochs...  In the early 1600s the estate was under the gaurdianship of Count Wilhelm of Henneberg.  Raphael Auerohs was br. 1537.Another son, Johann Raphel left behind two dons, Albert and George.  The elder sold his half to his brother George and died in 1713 of smallpox.  Two other sons, also, died of smallpox.  The last remaining male heir was George Frederick whom became Major-General and rebluilt the castle after the Thirty Years' War.

Addition  The Herda and Auroch families were two noble families mentioned in 1183 as living in their fortified castles at "Oepfershusen, Thuringian.  The two families fought for centuries for the power of the area.  THe Auroch estate was converted into a family castle just before the Thirty Years' War.  The last representvie of the family was Gorge Friederic of Aurochs b. 1667.  He fought as a cavalry officer in the Dutch and Hessian services.  Al toll he fought in 8 battles and 22 sieges.  At the end of the war he returned to Oefershauen and reulgt the castle in 1711.  The building held the Dutch style and held a "pleaslure garden"  Georg died in 1731  The castle became the property of the Prince who build the "Black Castle" .  In the 1990s the land was purchased by the City of Oepfershausen and revnovated the castle which is presently the citiy's administrative building. The name Auerochs refers to a bull of ancient origin, the ancestor to our present day domestic cattle.    .   NOTE:  Beate Maria von Aurochs (1684-1746) m.

Gen. Ten Jokop  (Jakob) von der Trenck

Gen  Eleven Augustin von der Trenck "Gutsbesitzer (=estate owner)       in Trenck"

Family History: 1200 According to Douglas Parker in his book HOHENZOLLEN, TRAGIC PRIVATE LIVES, the Trrenck family were from Franconia, which was a German Duchy near Frankfurt,  and  then the Trencks migr. in the 1200s to Prussia "with the German Order of Knights".  1533 Oct. - Grand Master of the Order, Duke Albrect of Pr. gave the estate of Scharlacker in the Labiau District [40 km north-east of Konigsberg] to ____Trenck Trenck's  would come to own the estates of: Scharlack, Schakaulack, Christroplack, Rodwienen, Poparten, Kodern, Taktau, Kapstuecken, Perkuiken, Solallen, Meiken, Loethen, Meerlauken and Pereisten. 1652 Achatius von der Trenck gave 16,5000 Marks to help Prussian King Frederick Wilhlem I  b. (14 Aug1688 d. 31 MAY 1740, House of von Hoenzolleran) conclude the Luebeck Peace Treaty.  In turn, the King  gave him the estate of Goldbach near Wehlau in April of 1652  Goldbach's Polish name is Slawinsk in the Wehlau Country which was in the Koenigsberg Dist. in East Prussia in Feb 1818. After 19 April 1819 it belonged to Prussia. After 1945 there still is a Slawinsk which is n. Wehlau which is subdived into individual rural communites. [Note: Not sure about the Luebeck Peace Treaty being corr ect.  It may have been the Treaty of Wehlau signed 1657 when he received sovereignty  over the Duchy of Prussia.  That would have been the time he could have given Achatius von der Trenck the estate of Goldbach. Today, Wehlau is called Znamensk, which is called a settlement in Kaliningrad Oblast, Russia. It is on the right bank of the Pregolya Riveer. It is 50 km east of City of Kaliningrad (Konigsberg).  The old Prussian fort still stands  in Velowe which is nearby.] A side note.  It was King Frederick Wilhelm I who held a keen interest in military display and fathered the tallest men he could find in all Europe for his special regiment known officially as the garde-du-corps. Frederick I I 'The Great"  continued to have this regiment   After Fred II met the tall handsome .  Baron Frederick von der Trenck the King in Nov. of 1742 he wrote the boy's mother that he would be pleased with the young man and have him return to Berlin with Colonel von Borck....  Fred. II placed Trenck in his garde-du-corps  in July 1744 . This special group had six officers and  and one hundred and forty-four men.  After six weeks Trenck made it seven officers as he was raised to the rank of Cornet.  See Baron Frederick von der Trenck's section.   ----- Trenk von dit Koenigsegg reserach. Koenigsegg was a "statlet" which erged in 1192 as a Lordship and was aised to Barony in 1470.  There was a Koenigsegg-Aulendor and a Koenigsegg-Rothenfels in 1622.  In 1629 the area was raied to an "imperial estate" and became a member of the College of the Counts of Swabia at the Reichstag.  In 1804 Koeigsegg sold Rothenfels to Austria.  In 1806, the Rheinbundakte gave Koenigegg to Wuertemberg.  It is estimated this covered about 62 sq miles (160 km square).  Koenigsegg was named after the Koenigsegg Castle, which is, today, part of the town of Guggenahsen / Ravensburg Dist., Baden-Wuerttemberg, Germany. The Barons were from 1460 to 1663: Marquard (1470-1500) John IV (1500 to 1544) John Marqard (1544 to 1553) with John James (1544 to 1567) Margared IV (b. 1567 to 1626) with Georg II (1557 to 1622) Johan William (1626 to 1663)

A   BOOK

Douglas Norman Parker has published a book this year, 2005, which goes into detail about the lives of Baron von der Trenck, Princess Amalia and her brother the Prussian King Frederick II "the Great". Douglas has dug into the family tree of the Trencks and has found a great deal of information.  I personal send my thank you and hope to continue to speak with him about the family and anything new he might discover.   Up to this time,  he has not found evidence which proves the existence of our ancestors Fredericka Hohenzollern who married  Count Dnaiel Nathaniel [von Hein].  He does, however, believe Amalia and Frederick did have a child and part of his book is his search for the evidence that a child existed.
