German Military in Russian Service
Service in the Russian ArmyFrom 1780 onwards, the German military officer served in the Russian army as a second major. He was stationed in Narva, Vyborg, and Revel. From 1793 to 1796, he commanded the garrison in the city of Baltiysky Port. He rose through the ranks to become a major general.
Possible Involvement in the Russo-Swedish War
It is believed that the German officer may have participated in the Russo-Swedish War of 1788-1790. However, his exact role in the conflict remains unclear.
Written Account of the War
The officer left behind a German-language manuscript titled "Roadbook" ("Unterschiedene Marschruthen"). Written in the form of a diary, it provides valuable insights into the history of the Swedish War, including descriptions of Grand Duke Pavel Petrovich and other historical figures.
