Timeline

1902

Wichard von Alvensleben (May 19, 1902 – August 14, 1982) was a German agriculturist, Wehrmacht Officer, and Knight of the Order of Saint John.

He was a member of the aristocratic House of Alvensleben, one of the oldest in Germany.

Alvensleben was born on May 19, 1902, in Wittenmoor (now part of Stendal) to Ludolf Udo von Alvensleben (1852–1923) and Ida, née von Glasenapp (1866–1924).

1921

He was taught in various convent schools at Magdeburg in Brandenburg an der Havel and passed his Abitur in 1921 at the Klosterschule Roßleben.

After four years of practical training he commenced studies in agriculture, forestry, and law in Eberswalde and Munich.

1927

In 1927, Alvensleben married Cora von Erxleben and started to work at his wife's country estates at Tankow-Seegenfelde in the district of Friedeberg, then in the Province of Brandenburg, part of the German Free State of Prussia, and at Dertzow in the district of Soldin, New March, also in the Province of Brandenburg, in 1929.

1934

Alvensleben had two daughters, born in 1934 and 1936.

A deeply religious Christian, he had become by then a Knight of Justice of the Order of Saint John.

1936

In 1936, he bought the forested estate of Viarthlum, in the district of Rummelsburg, in the Free State Province of Pomerania.

1939

In 1939, Alvensleben became an Officer of the German Wehrmacht, earning the rank of Captain, and served in Poland, France, Russia, Africa, and Italy.

1941

He was wounded in 1941 in Russia and received various decorations, including the Wound Badge, the Infantry Assault Badge, and the Iron Cross 1st Class.

1945

Then a captain, Alvensleben was the commander of Wehrmacht troops stationed in April 1945 at Bozen, whence he led a detachment of infantry to liberate a group of high-status prisoners being held by the SS at Niederdorf in the Italian Tyrol.

It is a curious coincidence of history that his brother SS-Colonel Ludolf Jakob von Alvensleben was commander (SS and Police Leader) of all SS troops in the area (Adria-West) at that time.

All were in areas transferred to Poland by the Potsdam Agreement in August 1945 following the end of World War II.

On 29 January 1945, his wife committed suicide at the arrival of the Soviet Red Army at the family estate in Tankow-Seegenfelde.

In late April 1945, a group of 140 high-status prisoners (Prominenten) were transferred to Tyrol, guarded by SS troops.

A Wehrmacht colonel among the prisoners contacted senior German army officers, made known the identity of these prisoners, and conveyed the apprehension that they were all to be executed.

A regular German army unit under the command of Captain von Alvensleben was assigned by nearby military authorities to protect the prisoners.

Outnumbered, the SS guards moved out, leaving the prisoners behind.

The prisoners were then set free, with the majority opting for sanctuary for a time in Pragser Wildsee under the protection of Alvensleben's troops until a U.S. force arrived to take custody.

In autumn 1945, Alvensleben was released from U.S. custody and started to work as a transport operator in a sugar refinery in Nörten-Hardenberg.

1946

In August 1946, Alvensleben married Astrid von Brand (widowed von Brockdorff-Ahlefeldt) and in 1952 he became an administrator of the von Brockdorff estate Ascheberg near Plön.

1956

In 1956, Alvensleben was involved with Diakonisches Werk, a charity organisation of the Lutheran Church at Rendsburg.

1982

He retired in 1974 and died on 14 August 1982, in Ascheberg.
