Count Charles Frederick Augustus of Lippe-Biesterfeld (20 January 1706 in Biesterfeld – 31 July 1781 in Friedrichsruh) was a Count of Lippe and Lord of Lippe-Biesterfeld, Sternberg and Schwalenberg and a Knight of the Order of the Red Eagle.
He was the eldest son of Rudolf Ferdinand of Lippe-Sternberg-Schwalenberg (17 March 1671 – 12 July 1736) Louise Juliane of Kunowitz (21 August 1671 – 21 October 1754) and the grandson of Jobst Herman of Lippe-Biesterfeld.
Life
Charles Frederick Augustus was the last Lord of Biesterfeld. During his reign, he had the manor's brewery moved from Schwalenberg to Biestereld and added a distillery, investing 6000 taler in this endeavour. In 1763, he constructed a hunting lodge, named Friedrichsruh after himself. The nearby village was later renamed after the hunting lodge.[1] However, the hunting lodge was demolished in 1859 to make room for a guest house. Otto von Bismarck later purchased Friedrichsruh and attached it to his manor Sachsenwald. He expanded the guest house to a castle, which is still named Friedrichsruh Castle.
