About Ernst Graf

  • Biography

    Ernst Friedrich Herbert Graf zu Munster was a State and Cabinet Minister of Great Britain and the Hereditary Land Marshal for the Kingdom of Hanover. He was born in Osnabrück in 1766 and died in Hanover in 1839. In 1815, King George III gave him the secularized Derneburg Monastery and its property for his negotiating successes at the Congress of Vienna. This established Derneburg as the ancestral home of the zu Munster family, where the last Peter Graf zu Munster lived in the castle with his wife Veronica and their children from 1955 to 1975. From 1975 to 2006, the castle was occupied by Georg Baselitz, and it is now an art museum owned by the Hall Art Foundation.
