Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: FRA-GAE
FRIEDRICH BALDUIN , Freiherr von Gagern (17941848), the eldest, was born at
Weilburg
  on the 24th of October 1794. He entered the university of Gottingen, but soon left, and, taking service in the Austrian army, took
part
  in the Russian campaign of 1812, and fought in the following year at Dresden, Kulm and
Leipzig
 . He then entered the Dutch service, took
part
  in the campaigns of 1815, and, after studying another year at
Heidelberg
 , was member for Luxemburg of the military commission of the German federal diet (1824, 1825). In 1830 and 1831 he took part in the Dutch campaign in Belgium, and in 1844, after being promoted to the rank of general, was sent on an important mission to the Dutch
East
  Indies to inquire into the state of their military defences. In 1847 he was appointed
governor
  at the Hague, and commandant in
South
  Holland. In the
spring
  of 1848 he was in Germany, and on the outbreak of the revolutionary troubles he accepted the invitation of the government of Baden to take the command against the insurgent " free companies " (Freischaaren). At Kandern, on the loth of April, he made a vain effort to persuade the leaders to submit, and was about to order his troops to attack when he was mortally wounded by the bullets of the insurgents. His
Life
 , in 3 vols. (
Heidelberg
  and
Leipzig
 , 18561857), was written by his brother Heinrich von Gagern.
