Friedrich von Hertling

Johann Friedrich Maximilian Joseph Freiherr[a] von Hertling (14 October 1781 – 4 August 1850) was a Bavarian Lieutenant General that acted as the[1] War Minister for Bavaria from 28 January until 9 June 1839. He was the brother of Franz Xaver von Hertling.

Biography

Hertling was born in Ladenburg, the son of Jakob Anton von Hertling and Maria Anna Antonia Juliana, née von Weiler.[2] Like his brother, Franz Xaver, he joined the Bavarian army in the last decade of the 18th century and took part in all of its campaigns between 1800 and 1815. In 1817 he was advanced to Oberst, in 1831 to Major General and Brigadier. One year later, while acting as the war minister of the Kingdom of Bavaria under King Ludwig, he was promoted to Lieutenant General and given responsibility for the army's stud farms and horse recruitment (Gestüts- und Remontierungswesen). Hertling died in Munich.[3]

Notes

  1. ^ Regarding personal names: Freiherr was a title before 1919, but now is regarded as part of the surname. It is translated as Baron. Before the August 1919 abolition of nobility as a legal class, titles preceded the full name when given (Graf Helmuth James von Moltke). Since 1919, these titles, along with any nobiliary prefix (von, zu, etc.), can be used, but are regarded as a dependent part of the surname, and thus come after any given names (Helmuth James Graf von Moltke). Titles and all dependent parts of surnames are ignored in alphabetical sorting. The feminine forms are Freifrau and Freiin.
