Major-General Christoph August von Wangenheim (23 March 1741 – 23 June 1830) was a Hanoverian Army officer and politician.
[2][b] Also during that time he led a contingent 1,400 Hanoverians, along with a company of European and sepoy soldiers to suppress a mutiny of a British Army regiment.
[1] In India in 1783 von Wangenheim treated a wounded French sergeant who was his prisoner with kindness.
Two decades later (in 1803), when France conquered Hanover, Bernadotte, the French commanding general reintroduced himself to von Wangenheim and thanked him for his kindness 20 years earlier.
In 1819 he accepted the office of Hofmarschall (an administrative post in charge of a princely German court).
