Biography

[edit]

Duke George Adolphus Frederick Augustus Victor Ernest Adalbert Gustavus William Wellington of Mecklenburg-Strelitz was born inNeustrelitz, the only surviving child ofFrederick William, Grand Duke of Mecklenburg, andPrincess Augusta of Cambridge. Following the death of his grandfatherGrand Duke George on 6 September 1860, Adolphus Frederick became theheir apparent to the grand duchy of Mecklenburg-Strelitz with the title of Hereditary Grand Duke. Adolphus Frederick took part in theFranco-Prussian war and represented his father at the proclamation of KingWilliam I of Prussia asGerman Emperor atVersailles. He succeeded his father as grand duke on 30 May 1904.[1]

His mother, Grand Duchess Augusta, was disgusted at her son's military ways. She wrote to her niece,Mary of Teck, "Strelitz that was never a Military State, suddenly is all drums and fifes, ... such a pity, a bad imitation ofSchwerin & small German Courts, whilstwe were a GentlemanlikeCivilian court!"[2]

In 1907 Adolphus Frederick announced that he would grant Mecklenburg-Strelitz a constitution, but this was met with opposition from nobles. In his attempt to create a constitution he offered to pay $2,500,000 to the national treasury if the nobles and land-owning classes dropped their opposition.[3] In 1912 he repeated attempts to create a constitution for Mecklenburg-Strelitz, which along withMecklenburg-Schwerin were the only European states without one.[4]

In January 1914, Adolphus Frederick was reported to be the second richest person in Germany after the Emperor William II with a fortune of $88,750,000.[5]

Adolphus Frederick died inBerlin and was succeeded by his eldest sonAdolphus Frederick VI.[5]
