Hartvig Asche von Schack, born 1644, died of wounds received at the battle of Steenkerque 1692, was one of many North German noblemen serving the King of Denmark.

In the meantime he had served as commandant of Kronborg, and distinguished himself in the Scanian War, being wounded at the assault of Malmö 1677.

Serving in the Danish Auxiliary Corps in Ireland and Flanders, he was severely wounded at the battle of Steenkerque, dying a few days later.

He was married to Baroness Anna Margrethe Kielman von Kielmansegg in her first marriage; a son and namesake making a distinguished military career.

The widow's second remarriage was with Schack's former comrade in arms, Colonel Hans Hartmann von Erffa.
