Friedrich Ferdinand Alexander zu Dohna-Schlobitten

[2][3] After the Prussian defeat at Jena and Auerstedt in 1806, Dohna did not pay homage to Napoleon but just assured the local authorities wouldn't act against the French troops.

[3] In April 1807, Dohna negotiated with Napoleon at the Finckenstein Palace on a French-Prussian separate peace and achieved a waiver of contribution payments of the province of West Prussia.

[3] On 4 August 1807 Friedrich Wilhelm III of Prussia appointed Dohna to the President of the Royal War and Domain Chamber.

Here Dohna was elected the Chairman of the Commission of People's Armament and organized the resistance against the retreating French troops after Napoleon's Russian campaign.

He was still active in regional politics and was a deputy of the district of Mohrungen in the first East Prussian Parliament in 1824.
