Description
Friedrich Wilhelm von Dossow (17 December 1669 28 March 1758) was a Prussian Generalfeldmarschall and Governor of Wesel. Dossow participated in Hungary against the Ottoman Turks and against France in the Rhineland. When King Frederick William I began his campaign to conquer Pomerania from Sweden in 1715, Dossow held the rank of Major. Later that year, Dossow was the Generaladjutant to Leopold I of Anhalt-Dessau during the capture of Rügen and siege of Stralsund.
Frederick William and Leopold, the "Old Dessauer", entrusted Dossow with the creation and training of new regiments during an expansion of the Prussian Army. Dossow was steadily promoted through the ranks: Oberst in 1728, Generalmajor and commander in 1733, and Acting Governor of Wesel in the Duchy of Cleves in 1739. During a visit to the duchy, King Frederick II promoted Dossow to Generalleutnant.
Dossow remained in Wesel to protect the city during the First and Second Silesian Wars. In 1742 he formally became Governor of Wesel and was awarded the Order of the Black Eagle. After the Battle of Hohenfriedberg, Frederick promoted Dossow to Generalfeldmarschal on 20 July 1745. As a special recognition for Dossow's service, in 1751 Frederick the Great awarded him a diamond-covered portrait of the king on a blue band. Dossow, Wilhelm Dietrich von Buddenbrock, and Hans von Lehwaldt were the only recipients of the special award. -Wikipedia-
