Baron and sometime Lord Chamberlain to Karl I, Duke of Brunswick-Lüneburg.1 I haven't been able to find any further information about him but he was almost certainly a close relation of Lütke Cuno Wolfradt von Bassewitz (1728-1796), Hauptmann of Brunswick-Wolfenbüttel, son of Ludolph Friedrich von Bassewitz and Magdalene Sybille.
