About Christian Ditlev Reventlow (1710–1775)

  • Christian Ditlev, Count of Reventlow (10 March 1710 – 30 March 1775) was a Danish Privy Councillor, nobleman and estate owner.
  • Reventlow was the third son of Christian Ditlev Reventlow and his wife Benedicte Margrethe von Brockdorff; as such, he was born into a family of significant influence and wealth.
  • His father, an officer and diplomat, had close familial ties to the Danish royal family and had been betrothed to Anna Christiane Gyldenløve, illegitimate daughter of King Christian V of Denmark, who died young.
  • Furthermore, his paternal aunt was Anne Sophie Reventlow, morganatic wife of King Frederik IV of Denmark, and later Queen of Denmark.
  • Despite his position, Reventlow devoted his life to his family and the maintenance of his estates, showing very little interest in life at court.
  • He married in 1737 Johanne Sophie Frederikke von Bothmer, a daughter of Reichsgraf Friedrich Johann von Bothmer (1658-1729), elder brother of Hans Caspar von Bothmer.
  • Though he had little-to-no political influence, he fathered three of the most prominent members of the Reventlow family: Prime Minister Christian Ditlev Frederik Reventlow, Johan Ludvig Reventlow and Salonist Louise Stolberg.
