Gender Male Military Service He was a soldier in the Krottingen War (late 1780s or early 1790s). I'm not sure what conflict this is, but I think it refers to the Partition of Poland. It may refer to Kretinga, which is very close to what was Memel (Klaipėda in Lithuania). Death 17 Dec 1817 Burial "Eckitten", near Memel, East Prussia Patriarch & Matriarch

d. 1702 (3 x Great Grandmother)Notes - Note the tangled marriages among his children and the Froelichs.
These notes are from Alma von Rosenberg about a divorce in the family in 1803:
"The inheritor and owner of Eckitten and Raddeilen Estates in 1750 was Sigismund Gustav von Rosenberg. His first son was Otto (1776-1871) who also later inherited and owned "Eckitten" and "Raddeilen," married three times, and was divorced twice! This Otto von Rosenberg was the father of our Pioneer father, Peter Carl Johann von Rosenberg and we had thought there were no divorces in that day, having constantly thought about how such would be handled for Generation Four! when our next book of the family would be published.
Of Otto's first wife there is no record, no children.
Of the second wife, Maria Wilhelmine von Stempel, there were nine children after a marriage of twelve years and then a divorce in 1802.
Of the third wife, Cathrine von Barkenhagen there were seven children, only one daugher, Emelie, was ever mentioned, and then only one time in the Froelich Book."
According to von Rosenberg family historian Jon Koenig, “Otto von Rosenberg was born on the Radeilen estate which was near the village of Krottingen near Memel in Kurland, East Prussia. He was a Baron of the East Prussian nobility. He married three times and was divorced twice. Upon the dissolutioion of his second marriage to Maria Wilhelmine von Stempel, he kept the Eckitten estate as well as a mill on the estate, and a brewery and hotel in Memel which he had received as a part of the dowery from the von Stempel family. He was appointed the Royal Forester of the Royal Braslausten Estate in the then Kingdom of Prussia by King Friedrich Wilhelm III towards the end of his life. The estate was located far east of Memel near the village of Sarasen (now present day Jeziorosy in Lithuania). Shortly after his arrival on the Royal Estate with his second wife, Catharina Borkenhagen and their children, Baron Otto suffered a stroke and was buried three days later in the local Lutheran churchyard. He was a Lieutenant in the Infantry of the Royal Prussian Army.”
