Christian Friedrich Von Kahlbutz
Christian Friedrich von Kahlbutz (1651 in Kampehl, Brandenburg – 1702 in Kampehl) was a German knight, who is today most famous because of the state of preservation of his body; no noticeable mummification process was used upon his death. Today the mummified corpse is a tourist attraction.   Legend According to local legend, “Knight Kalebuz,” as he was known, frequently exercised the right of droit de seigneur. He had eleven children of his own and at least thirty other illegitimate children. While exercising this “right” in July 1690, he chose the bride of a shepherd from Bückwitz. She refused him and because of the laws governing the right of first night, he murdered the shepherd. Although there were no witnesses, the shepherd’s bride, Maria Leppin, accused Kahlbutz of the murder and took him to court in Dreetz (Brandenburg). As an aristocrat he had special rights and could swear an oath of innocence before the court in order to free himself. Kahlbutz did this and was immediately acquitted. Kahlbutz died at the age of 52 and was laid to rest in a double coffin in the family tomb. In 1783 the last of the von Kahlbutz line died. While the church of Kampehl was being renovated in 1794 the coffins in the church were going to be buried in the cemetery like all the other coffins. When the coffins were opened it was discovered that all of the corpses except that of the Knight Kahlbutz had decayed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Christi...h_von_Kahlbutz |

Re: Christian Friedrich Von Kahlbutz
Strange how that works. You can exhume one grave, and the body is bones, then the next one to it will have all of their soft tissue left.  |

Re: Christian Friedrich Von Kahlbutz
