Laurits Christian von Undall
When tracing the history of the Dinesen family, connections to other prominent Danish families often emerge. One of them is Laurits Christian von Undall (1783–1861), who, through his descendants, became part of the family history that later led to Kragerup Gods.
Laurits Christian von Undall made a career as an officer and civil servant and became one of Viborg’s most respected citizens. He was the director of Viborg Tugthus, a member of the city council, and in 1851 he was named the city’s first honorary citizen. His name still lives on in Undallslund near Viborg.
The connection to Kragerup arose through his daughter, Marie Charlotte Magdalene Undall. She married Carl Emil Mechlenburg, and their daughter, Henriette Elisabeth Christine Mechlenburg, married Christian Emil August Schøller. Their daughter, Ebba Schøller, married Carl Sophus Dinesen in 1891, and thus the Undall family became part of the Dinesen family.
Through this lineage, Laurits Christian von Undall was the great-great-great-grandfather of Jens Kraft Dinesen (1922-2003), who belonged to the branch of the Dinesen family that was closely associated with Kragerup.
The story of Laurits Christian von Undall shows how Danish families of civil servants, officers and landowners became intertwined throughout the 19th century. Through marriages between the Undall, Mechlenburg, Schøller and Dinesen families, connections were made that can still be traced in the history of Kragerup today.
