von Treskow (noble family)

U.S. President George Washington gave Sigismund Otto Joseph 4000 acres of woods along the Mississippi River in return for providing goods to the Continental Army.

[8][9] The descendants of Sigismund Otto Joseph von Treskow formed their own branches of the family, respectively, and acquired additional estates.

European aristocrats, such as Prince Antoni Radziwiłł, Princess Louise of Prussia and King Frederick William IV, visited the family's estate to enjoy the grounds and architecture.

[10] The Berlin district of Karlshorst is named after Carl von Treskow, who started its development into a mansion colony in 1825.

[11] Sigismund von Treskow, who lived in the palace from 1880, continued the development of the district and the nearby Karlshorst racecourse.
